I am a direct descendant of the convict Cornelius Loxton (on my late father's side).
One of his direct descendants, also named Cornelius Loxton, won a Military Medal for gallantry near the end of WW1 during the final "push" in 1918 in France and is mentioned in the recent paperback book "The Last 100 Days" as to what his very brave actions were. He was heroic. https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/R1530414
