She was sent to Norfolk Island where she cohabited with Richard Morgan, who arrived as a convict on the Alexander. They were quite successfull farming and supplied a lot of produce on Norfolk to the government. The were transfered to Van Diemans Land on the Surprise on 6 Oct 1806 where they took up a land grant at Kangaroo Point.
