Believe she had more than 2 daughters but am still researching. I am descended from her eldest daughter, Sophia fanny Maddams , who married Arthur John McLeod in 1881.

Survived the journey and spent 7 years as a convict at the penal colony. Met and married, fellow convict, Thomas Maddams. Lost one child age 8 months, and went on to have two further daughters, who I am trying to trace. April 2012.
