Convict Notes
Thomas landed in New South Wales in 1802. In about 1810, on granting of his conditional pardon, Thomas moved to Dalrymple, Tasmania and then used the name Faro. He is listed in the 1811 General Muster: Thomas Faro, resident at Port Dalrymple, Perseus, [REF 1956 - page 43]. In about 1836, he commenced a relationship with the widow, Ann Williams (nee Lucas). Ann was the eldest daughter of Nathaniel Lucas (First Fleet Convict, Scarborough, 1788) and Olivia Gascoigne (First Fleet Convict, Lady Penrhyn, 1788), she had been born on Norfolk Island in 1789. Ann had been married to Charles Williams (Convict, Ganges, 1797) and the couple had 11 children. Charles had mysteriously disappeared in Launceston in 1835 and was believed murdered. Ann had her own land holding on the south side of the Tamar River. Thomas and Ann had one child, Frances Faro, born 25th August 1837. The subsequently did marry 22nd April 1840 at Launceston. They moved back to the Portland Bay area in Victoria, where Thomas was employed to run the dairy of William Learmonth. He died at Pumin, Victoria, 3rd April 1859. There is some dispute as to his age.
