Convict Notes
Regarding his age: He was recorded as being aged 33 years for his 1791 trial. Therefore he was born in 1758. If this age is correct then when he died in 1835 he was a fairly old man for the times at 76 - 77 years of age - but he was not 87 yrs as recorded. Patrick Carroll's burial at Maitland in 1835 occurred without a minister of religion being present – he was buried by his friends.(Register East Maitland Ch of Eng Burials 1832-40).
