Convict Notes
Many researchers have incorrectly stated that Mary Long died in Patterson, NSW in 1864. I have purchased the certificate of that death, and none of the information in any way relates to our Mary Long. No record of her death has ever been found.
Mary's was transported for "Violent Highway Robbery" on the King's Highway. This from "History Australia Website": Death sentence remitted to Transportation for Life on 23 May 1787 Has been incorrectly attributed in some publications as a First Fleeter. She was marked as having embarked on the 'Prince of Wales' but this was an error. The reprieve of her death sentence was not until 12 March 1787. August 1790 - Sent from Sydney to Norfolk Island on the 'Surprise' 4 February 1791 - Ordered a flogging for abusing and striking another convict woman June 1794 - Ordered to stand trial for improper language. She received 100 lashes, had her hair cut off and was sent to Philipsburg (Cascade). She was recorded as childless, unmarried and living with the settler Edward BEDFORD July 1794 - returned to Sydney 1796/1797 - Mary was sent back to Norfolk Island May 1801 - Sent to Sydney, she was said to have been 'particularly troublesome' while on the Island. November 1812 - Mary's partner James WARD died after being bitten by a snake 1814 - Described as a single woman resident in the Windsor region with five children July 1818 - Mary's sons James (11), William (8) and John (7) were recommended for admission to the Male Orphan School 1822 - Recorded as being the wife of Thomas BRISTOW (per 'Barwell' 1798) 1828 - Listed in the Census as being aged 46, a laundress, living with BRISTOW in Cambridge Street in Sydney No record of Mary's death has been traced
