Convict Notes
Aged 34 with 5ft 6.5", black hair, dark complexion, with grey eyes, and could read. He was a papermaker and a labourer, and had a wife and 3 children. Despite the court documents giving no evidence to his character (stated as "not known"), 13 farmers signed a petition saying he was 34 (putting his birth around 1810), of good character, and was born and raised in Halghton, Flintshire, and had worked for W Adams papermaker for 8 years, and from there he went to Drayton and then Hemberton (Kemberton?) paper mill where he was made unemployed. They believed it was poverty that drove him to steal Thomas Clutton's heifer, "to prevent his wife and children from perishing, as he lived nearly 40 miles from their settlement". "His parents were very poor, and were not against him". [Home Office: Criminal Petitions: Series II, HO18, Piece 135]
