Convict Notes
Elizabeth Cook departed on the Charlotte but was transferred to the Friendship at Rio de Janeiro. From <http://www.jenwilletts.com/convict_ship_friendship_1788.htm The Fleet arrived at Rio de Janeiro on 6th August 1787 On August 11th Clarke received word that six of the best behaved convict women on the Friendship - viz Susannah Garth, Hannah Green, Frances Hart, Elizabeth Hervey, Mary Worthings and Ann Baigley were to be exchanged with six of the worst from the Charlotte....... Governor Philip's view was (a matter not easily accomplished) to separate those whose decent behaviour entitled them to some favour from those who were totally abandoned and obdurate. (4) Clark was dismayed...I don't think it right, and I don't know what I shall do now as well ..... the only woman that can wash amongst them (is gone). The following women were received onto the Friendship from the Charlotte - Margaret Stuart, Fanny Anderson, Mary Phillips, Hannah Smith, Elizabeth Cook, Ann Coombes.
