Family connections for Ann (Glossop) are: GLOSSOP Elizabeth (Heathorn/Glossop) as Ann (Glossop) aka Elizabeth (Heathorn) was tried at Montgomery Great Sessions Wales, sentenced to 7years & arrived in NSW as a convict on 14 2 1792 after a voyage of 8.5months on PITT; much fever & attempts to escape from the ship resulted in deaths of convicts-of the 450convicts on board only 29 were alive at muster in May 1792 (or perhaps only this many could be mustered). She was Free by Servitude by 1795. She apparantly went to Norfolk Island about 1801. She had a first relationship with William (Broughton his first relationship) & produced 6children; Rev. (Fulton)s records on Norfolk Island indicate they were married. Ann (Glossip) was recorded in February 1805 as convict expired on Norfolk Island. She left with her daughter Elizabeth in December 1807. In October 1809 she left Port Jackson with her daughter Elizabeth on BOYD, intending to return to UK via New Zealand where the ship was captured & most on board massacred by Maoris. She died on 1 11 1809. [However, the Ref:...' shows her as leaving Norfolk Island on 3 9 1808 on CITY OF EDINBURGH to Derwent Tasmania, arriving on 5 10 1808. [Some details taken from this Website] .. [Noted the Ref:'People...' shows evidence of Mary (Heathorn) not being Mary (Glossop/ip wife/partner of William (Broughton) as:] [a Mary Anne (Heathern) born 27 6 1792 on NI could not be Anne (Glossip) as she was still on the PITT & anyway conception in England does not fit with William (Broughton)s movements. Also, an Elizabeth (Heathorn) is recorded at St Phillips CofE Register in Sydney in 1807 while Anne (Glossip) was on Norfolk Island-however, it is also known that Norfolk Island matters were often recorded in Sydney rather than on NI. Why the (Heathorn) name appears as an alias on this Website is not clear to me.] [This reference also shows both Elizabeth (Heathorn)s name & Ann (Glossip)s name as partners of William (Broughton)] [Noted the Ref:'Forgotten..' also links Elizabeth (Heathorn)s name with Ann (Glossip).] .. William (Broughton) was born about 1768. He arrived in NSW free as surgeons servant on 22 1 1788 after a voyage of 8months on First Fleet ship CHARLOTTE. He was appointed acting Deputy Commissary about February 1799 & arrived on Norfolk Island in 1801. He was misused in his job between September 1803 & February 1804 by the acting OIC Ralph (Wilson). He is recorded in February 1805 as storekeeper on Norfolk Island, a job in which he continued to be employed. He left Norfolk Island with most of his children on 3 9 1808 on CITY OF EDINBURGH to Derwent Tasmania, arriving on 5 10 1808. He married secondly Eliza Charlotte (Kennedy her second relationship) on 14 12 1810 at St Johns CofE Parramatta. He died on 25 7 1821 age53 father of 11children, mostly girls. Details of William (Broughton)s family are given in entry for Charlotte (Stroud KITTY 1792) on this Website.

Ann had a long term relationship with William Broughton who came free on Charlotte as the surgeon's servant. They had 4 daughters and a son between 1793 and 1807. Then in October 1809, Ann left the colony bound for England, on the ship 'Boyd'. One daughter, Elizabeth, accompanied her. This however, did not eventuate! They travelled first to New Zealand and were then taken by the Maori. Text ex 'The Founders of Australia' by Mollie Gillen page 51 (William Broughton article) "In Nov 1809 Elizabeth Heathorn (alias Ann Glossop) and Betsey sailed from Port Jackson aboard the ship Boyd, bound for the Cape of Good Hope and presumably England. En route, the ship called at New Zealand and was captured by Maoris. Elizabeth and most of the passengers and crew were massacred. Two year old Betsey, two other children and a woman were spared. They were rescued and taken on board the 'City of Edinburgh' bound for England, which was damaged at Cape Horn and diverted to Peru. Betsey was looked after by a Spanish couple and sent back to Sydney via Rio, reunited with her father at Sydney in March 1812. In gratitude, Broughton had a portrait painted of the child and sent to the couple in Peru which has survived, along with Broughton's letter."
