Rosetta also “free” was a convict as well, who had been transported on the ship Britannia in 1798. She was 24 years old at the time she was convicted in Lancaster, crime unknown, but her trial was May 1, 1797 and she was sentenced to 7 years as well. She arrived in New South Wales on July 18, 1798. You will find her as Rosetta Warburton. http://archive.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/forum_topicdc78.html?TOPIC_ID=571&view=lasttopic
By 1822 she was married to Hugh Owens.
