State Library of Queensland on 14th July 2012
Born Dursley, Gloucestershire, married Elizabeth Hancock at Dursley 1807 and had 9 children. The local wooltrade collapsed and many were reduced to abject poverty. One night he entered an outhouse and stole eleven bushels of wheat. He never returned home, dying at Brighton, near Hobart.
