Convict Notes
Family connections for John (Hughes) are: HUGHES John (Hughes) perhaps became a painter & glazier. He was tried for stealing sheets at probaby Old Bailey, sentenced to 7years, held at Middlesex Gaol Delivery & arrived in NSW on 14 2 1792 after a voyage of 8months on PITT. He may have had a relationship with Catherine (JohnsonPRINCE OF WALES 1788) who arrived in NSW as a convict on 22 1 1788 after a voyage of 9months on First Fleet ship PRINCE OF WALES; but probably not.
