Convict Notes
Elizabeth (nee Waterson) was the wife of William Quayle, a shoemaker, from Liverpool. She had stolen from a John Westmore. Elizabeth had already been imprisoned in 1810. She was convicted at Wigan. She was sent to Parramatta on arrival and was assigned as a washerwoman in the colony. The year of arrival, Elizabeth married James Chilcott (ship- Admiral Gambier, who had stolen a horse) at St John's, Parramatta. By 1822 Elizabeth lived at Windsor and was free by servitude. By 1828 she and James were at Richmond and had had seven children: James, twins (Elizabeth) Hannah and Mary, John and Ann, two others had died as babies. Elizabeth and husband James were successful farmers/cattle dealers and the family lived at 'Goodland' then 'Clarefield' at Falbrook in the Hunter Valley. They farmed with their son in law (John Noble, married to daughter Mary). Elizabeth was widowed in 1859 and she died at Newcastle 1st November 1872, aged 89 (more likely about 84). The newspapers described her as 'one of the oldest residents of the Hunter River district'. She left her will to eldest daughter Hannah and is buried with her two sons James and John at Whittingham Cemetery, Singleton.
