Convict Notes
Charged with stealing timber at Pendlebury property of John Greaves.
Re the note of 10th March 2016 above: There appear to be no records confirming a link between Catharine Malone of the Sugar Cane and John Worthington of the Fortune, or his four children. There was another woman in the colony named Catherine Maloney (who claimed to have been aboard the Alexander in 1806) and information about the two seems to have been conflated. More information at the website referenced.
Conviction: 1 May 1805 at Salford Certificate of Freedom dated 2 May 1812 Criminal Regists: Offence Larceny, Convicted at Salford, Lancashire Prison Hulk ship Perseus No.47, moored at Portsmouth, aged 29, Offence: Felony, Received from Lancaster on 1st June 1805, Transferred to the ship Fortune
It would seem that John may have been living with Catharine Malone (Convict, Sugar Cane, 1793) for a period and perhaps had 2 or 3 children in the period up to his death in 1825. Indeed, the step-son William Fry, was even known as William Fry Worthington in his later life.
John was transported on board the "Fortune", which arrived July 12th 1806. He appears in the Muster Records for the year. 1806...
