Convict Notes
James Grant found Guilty at Exeter where the Devon Assizes were held, in March 1801, -" … James Grant and James Craig, for highway-robbery; ... [and several others listed] ... also received sentence of death but were reprieved." per Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette, Thursday 02 April 1801. James Grant sailed on “Coromandel” with six other men from the March 1801 Devon Assizes (J Redman, James Sanders & William Pavey for burglary; William Kennard, stealing cloth; and Josiah Richards and R Weeks for sheep stealing). Fellow highway-robber James Craig sailed later with another group of convicts from the same Devon Assizes, on the “Glatton” departing England in September 1802, when their Devon jail mates on “Coromandel” had already arrived in NSW. James Grant does not seem to have other records n NSW than the ship's indent.
