Convict Notes
Richard was assigned to Mr and Mrs Walker at the Red Cowi Inn, Parramatta where he remained for the rest of his life even after a pardon in 1846. He worked as an ostler and general yard man.Without applying for a marriage licence (convicts neede,d permission to marry) he had a daughter Mary, who at 1836 married Philip Frocham Neyle my x4 grandfather Deb Neyle
He was tried and convicted at Worcester in England, and on 26th July,1800 he received a death sentence, This was commuted to Capital Respite. Apparently it is for one who is transported for life instead of suffering the death penalty. He left behind a wife Ann (Taylor) and children Elizabeth Stiles, Sarah Stiles, George Stiles and Mary Stiles.

He worked for Mr Jamieson for seven years and then in 1809 there is a memorial where he asks for a ticket of leave. On July 21st 1810 he was in trouble for not giving his name, which I gather, must have been a form of reporting. 1810 Petition for mitigation of sentence (Fiche 3168; 4/1847 p.214) PARDON.
