In the colony, Mary had a short term relationship with Thomas Rugglass (Convict, Active, 1791). They had a daughter Sophia born 1798. There appears no reference that I can locate of Mary in the Musters. However, the daughter Sophia is recorded as marrying William Eggleton, the son of William Eggleton (First Fleet Convict, Alexander, 1788) and Mary Dickenson (First Fleet Convict, Lady Penryhn, 1788). William jnr and Sophia do appear in the 1828 census with their family.
