Samuel Rowney was 13 years old when convicted of “Stealing a Coat”. The coat belonged to his father.
There was also an account of another son George being transported for the same crime. (Could’nt find him). Apparently some citizens who had people transported received money for the conviction. Perhaps Samuel’s father was making a business of getting paid for his son’s being transported.
