In the colony, William formed a common law relationship with Elizabeth Smith (Convict, 1800, "Speedy). It is believed that the couple may have had two or three children in the period 1801 to 1805, however, only one has been traced. John Keefe was born in 1803. He married Mary Timmins the daughter of James Timmins (Convict, 1800, "Friendship") and Ann Baldwin (Convict, 1807, "Sydney Cove") in 1826. William must have died around 1805-6. He appears in no subsequent musters or census records.
