Convict Notes
Ireland National Archives. Ireland- Australia Transportation Database. Doc Ref: FS 1832 6. Doc Date: 27/2/1832. List of convicts who have applied for their wives and families to be sent to New South Wales at the expense of Government. Matthew Hogan, Tried Co. Tipperary. Ship, Eliza 1827. Wife, Catherine McBeath, residing at Greeanana Co, Tipperary.
The four HOGANs found guilty on Friday, at the Clonmel Assizes, of the manslaughter of Charles MCCARTHY at the fair of Kilfeacle, last July, were conveyed next day to the hulks at Cove, for transportation for life. This Mr. Sergeant BLACKBURNE pledged himself to effect, after their sentence was passed. They were of a very respectable class of farmers, but unfortunately for themselves and their families they were leaders of a faction, which has been in existance these sixty years. Their sudden departure, amidst the lamentations of their numerous relatives and friends, was truly deplorable. Limerick Chronicle, 14 April 1827.
