Peter Lowry, also known as Lawrie in NSW, was convicted at the Monaghan Assizes in late April or early May 1791 of a felony and ordered to be transported for seven years (Freemans Journal, May 7 1791 p.4). He sailed 21 months later on "BOddingtons, departing Cork in February 1793, arriving NSW August 1793. The ship's indent recorded him as aged 22 years, so he was born probably in 1770. His sentence would have expired in April 1798. He recevied Certificate of Freedom number 1379. In the 1801 Muster he was noted as victualled off stores. In the 1806 muster he was free by Servitude and a servant to Capt. Campbell. This was Robert Campbell who had establishing himself strongly as a merchant and trader in Sydney since 1798. He had a house and warehouses on Dawes Point. In the 1822 Muster, Peter Lowry/Lawrie was resident at Argyll employed with Capt Campbell. This was county of Argyll in NSW, which was the Limestone plains area, later Canberra. Campbell's property holding was named "Duntroon", whose homestead in the 20th century became the site of the Australian military college.
