Convict Notes
Monmouth Assizes concluded on Tuesday, when Mary Pritchard, convicted for stealing several articles of wearing apparel from Cecilia Price of Llangwm; —and Margaret Phillips, for felony committed in the parish of Abergavenny, were ordered to be transported for seven years. Gloucester Journal, 10 Aug 1801.
Mary is buried in the cemetery alongside St Mary Magdalene's Anglican Church, St Marys, (near Penrith), NSW.
Mary was the concubine of former convict Ferdinard Meaurant - who had been pardoned by Governor King due Ferdinard's skills as a silversmith. Mary had 2 children with him - a boy and a girl. Mary left Ferdinard's employ once her term was served, leaving behind her son but taking her daughter, Elvira. Elvira would die from burns suffered after falling into a fire at Ferdinard's property on the Hawkesbury. Mary's son from this relationship stayed in contact with his mother and would later help his step-father, John Maskey, in seeking a land grant.
Sainty & Johnson 1828 Census of New South Wales: [Ref M1945] Maskey, Mary, 42, FS, Glatton 1803. Shown as wife of John [M1944] and also 5 children are listed as BC, all resident at Evan.
Mary would appear to have had two common law relationships, soon after arriving in the colony. She did however eventually marry, one John Maskey (Convict, Duke of Portland, 1807). They married 28 August 1826 at Castelreagh. They had 5 children.
