Transportation
Timothy Hector was transported on the Friendship, departing 24th Aug 1799 and arriving 16th Feb 1800 with 161 passengers.
This convict ship, being 274 tons and 75 feet long was one of the light weight ships in the fllet and was skippered by Master Francis Walton. Built in Scarborough in 1784, she carried 76 male and 21 female convicts. During her return voyage to England her crew came down with scurvy and with insufficient crew to man her, she was scuttled in the straights of Macassar. The survivors were transferred to the Alexander.

Convict Notes
Ticket of Leave No. 72/2208 dated 14 March 1826 in district of Camden, Trade Labourer, Year of Birth 1776,
According to a letter from Timothy's son, Henry, Timothy died in 1830. In 1824 Henry became deaf. He wrote several times to Fr John Therry, including 12843, seeking access to his father's will. Timothy's will may have been misplaced and/or Fr Therry chose not to co-operate. Timothy will be profiled in an upcoming publication on the early Irish of Sydney.
