Samuel Dewell was 30 years old when indicted for stealing money from farmer Martin. The Dewell's apparently were farmers in England, and 2 of Robert Marjoram's (convicts, father and son,per Mangles)daughters worked as farm labourers for them. The Marjoram's were resident around Bathurst and so perhaps were in contact with Samuel, as he died at Dubbo, in the district of Coonabarabran in 1867. 1868: Intestate papers, listed as living at Gorranawa.
