Beddow charged on the oath of John Haxell, and on the confession of Henry Hall, with feloniously stealing 3 ewe sheep, the property of Mrs Bridget Canning, of Abberton, are fully committed to Chelmsford gaol, by the Rev. N. Corsellis and the Rev. Y. Smythies." Records throughout Jonathan Green's life - and those of his children and descendants - spell the surname 'Green' (not 'Greene'). The name of Jonathan's youngest child was Spencer Hall (not 'Hale').

He was the son of William Green and Hannah Wray and he was born in Colchester sometime between 1775 and 1778. Hannah and William were married in Wrawby Lincolnshire 27/11/1772. Jonathan married Elizabeth Cooper in Wrawby in 17/7/1796. They had a daughter Frances 1797. Jonathan Green had no choice about his migration to Australia. He was sentenced in the Court in Chelmsford Essex on the 22nd July, 1801 and charged with two others on the 7th May......."in the Forty First Year of the Reign of his Sovereign Lord George the third he did steal three ewe sheep belonging to the widow Bridget Canning." The sentence was commuted to transportation for life (would you believe)... for the three convicted men to sail from England on board HMS "Glatton". Capt. James Colnett was in charge of 387 male and female prisioners, his crew, and some "free" immigrants. The transport left London on 23rd Sept 1802 and sailed via Madrid and Rio de Janeiro to arrive in Sydney on 11th March 1803. Also travelling "free" was Jonathan's wife Elizabeth Cooper and 2 children Frances and Jonathan Cooper Green Jnr. For his wife to be on board as well was highly unusual as tickets were far beyond the means of a worker's wife? A ticket-of-leave was granted to Jonathan on his arrival in Sydney. He was recorded as being "self-employed" living with his wife and his condition was marked as "PTL" i.e. prisoner, ticket-of-leave. He applied for a pardon in 1809 but such application was cancelled. He again applied by petition to Governor Macquarie 13th feb 1810 and requested renewal of pardon granted by previous Capt William Paterson. Jonathan stated that he had been 3 years in the Sydney Police. Macquarie must have refused his application and Jonathan petitioned again on 4th Jan 1813. In the meantime, on 29 Dec 1810, Jonathan was appointed a "Constable of Sydney Police" with recorded references to his being paid from the Police Fund 1811-1819. In 1815 an Assistant Jailer at Sydney was dismissed for corruption and Jonathan Green was apointed in his place on a salary of thirty pounds sterling per annum. Jonathan was granted a conditional pardon on 31 Jan 1819. However, on 19th Oct 1820 for drunkenness and he has dismissed. Jonathan was noted in further commentary in a list of constables in Sydney 1820-1823 his dismissal was due to repeated drunkenness. However, he recovered from his dismissal and was soon assigned mechanic convicts and raised a more than successful family .
