Executed for NSW 1804 Castle Hill Revolt. Died at Windsor. ---------------------------------------------------- Philip Cunningham was one of the leaders of the Castle Hill Revolt in 1804. There is an account of the revolt in the Sydney Gazette, 11 March 1804. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/626075?searchTerm=Philip Cunningham The Castle Hill Revolt is also discussed in Anne-Maree Whitaker’s book, “Unfinished Revolution: United Irishmen in New South Wales.” --------------------------------------------------- A Short Account of Some of the Principal Offenders, Lately Executed. Philip Cunningham the principal Rebel leader, who was executed at Hawkesbury, was one of the prisoners by the Ann, and was remarkably active in the mutinous transactions on board that vessel which rendered a recourse to rigorous exertions necessary to the safety of the Officers and crew. Some time after his arrival he was sent up to the Settlement at Castle Hill, where he was appointed overseer of the Government Stone?masons; and such was the lenity and indulgence shewn him, that in the space of little more than a twelve month he had nearly erected on his own account, a stone building of considerable value.
