John was married to Mary in Kent, and they had several children. After his transportation, he was assigned to work for James Atkinson on his property "Oldbury" near Moss Vale. Atkinson, during a trip back to England around 1826, met Mary & aided her in her emigration as a free settler. He then assisted her getting a land grant near Oldbury and had John reassigned as Mary's convict labourer.
