    NATHANIEL LUCAS : OLIVIA GASCOIGNE Nathaniel Lucas was sentenced at the Old Bailey on 7 July 1784 to transportation for seven years for theft of a few items of clothing. Said to be a carpenter and joiner, he spent time in the Ceres and Censor hulks before being sent to Scarborough on 27 February 1787. On 14 February 1788 after the Fleet’s arrival, Lucas was sent to Norfolk Island with the group to settle the island, and making himself a valuable assert as a carpenter in the new community. Amongst the group sent to Norfolk Island was Olivia Gascoigne who had been indicted when sentenced to death at Worcester on 5 March 1785 for theft from a dwelling house of coins totalling £3.17.6d. She was reprieved to seven years transportation on 28 December and held in Worcester gaol until ordered to Southwark gaol. From Southwark she went with the group of women who embarked on Lady Penrhyn on 31 January 1787. By the time of their arrival on Norfolk Island, Olivia and Nathaniel lived together. She bore him children annually to a total of 13, eleven of whom survived infancy. On 31 December 1792 Nathaniel was appointed superintendent of convict carpenters, blacksmiths and sawyers, and settled on 15 acres and was selling grain to stories. The family returned to Port Jackson in 1805 and in February 1806 Nathaniel had erected an octagonal smock mill on the esplanade at Fort Phillip, two pairs of millstones to come from Norfolk Island. After a period as a private builder, Nathaniel became superintendent of carpenters in NSW.

  • An Innkeeper's Memorial Mound
    Magazine of Fellowship of First Fleeters Inc. ACN 003 233 425 PATRON: Her Excellency, Professor Marie Bashir, AC, CVO, Governor of New South Wales Volume 40, Issue 3 May/June 2009 To Live on in the Hearts and Minds of Descendants is Never to Die An Innkeeper's Memorial Mound illiam 'Lumpy' Dean may not be the most famous convict to be Wbanished to NSW, but at 22 stone (139.5kg) he almost certainly became the largest. William arrived on Hillsborough on 26 July 1799 at the age of 23 as a lifer, having had his death sentence for stealing £20 from his employer commuted to transportation. On Christmas Day 1806, William married Elizabeth Hollingsworth after she had been assigned to him from the Female Factory at Parramatta. She had ar­ rived on 24 June 1804 on Experiment 1 to serve seven years for stealing just one pound from her employer. They were to have eight children. William obtained a ticket of leave on 19 January, 1811, by which time he had carved out a living for his family at Eastern Creek raising wheat and cattle and supplying grain and meat to the Government Store. This brings us to the mound pictured at right. It is a beehive well, built by Lumpy Dean in 1814, one of many scattered around the re- gion, but without doubt the best preserved, although it may have been Lumpy's Beehive Well with peephole, repaired in 1911. Such wells served both settlers and travellers as the area was be- April 2009, needing care and attention ing opened up.

  • Historical Context Observatory Hill Sydney
    ----~----_.~------------., I -- I. I I I HISTORICAL CONTEXT I I I OBSERVATORY HILL I I SYDNEY I I I I January 1997 I I ForEDAW I I I I I Prepared by Wendy Thorp I 1 1 SECTION 1.0 I CONTEXT OF THE STUDY I This study is one component of a Plan of Management and Masterplan that is being prepared for Observatory Hill on behalf of the Council of the City of Sydney. The role of this work is to provide an historical context for the study area. This I analysis, derived from both primary and secondary sources, permits an understanding of why the various natural and cultural features have been established and how they have evolved from first settlement to the present day. I The work informs and supports the several heritage and landscape assessments that have been prepared for this Plan of Management. 1 Observatory Hill is one of the best known historic sites in Sydney and has been an important part of the development of the city almost from the first day of settlement in 1788. Throughout that long period it has changed character several times, it has 1 served a variety of related and disparate functions and residents' and visitors' perceptions of the site have reacted according to these variety of uses. The I several names given to the hill have reflected its various incarnations; Windmill Hill, Citadel Hill, Flagstaff Hill and Observatory Hill. 1 For this reason a simple chronological history of the land encompassed in the study area would not achieve a useful understanding of the many ways in which Observatory Hill has served the city and has been viewed or altered by its 1 residents and managers.

  • Claymore – 2020 July
    CLAYMORE Service, Education, Advocacy for the Scottish-American Ancestral Diaspora July 2020 COSCA 2020 AGM RESCHEDULED! Due to the COVID19 Pandemic, the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games—the regular site for COSCA’s Annual General Meeting since our founding in 1976—was cancelled for 2020. As a result, COSCA’s AGM has had to be rescheduled. Due to continued closures and cancellations of large public gatherings, the decision has been made to hold this year’s AGM online, as is allowed by applicable state law. Accordingly, COSCA will convene its AGM remotely, via Zoom. We are looking at several possible dates later in this Calendar Year. The new date and time for the AGM, as well as directions how to join the meeting, will be announced soon on the COSCA website (www.cosca.scot). Please consult the website for further details.

  • Mary Jackson - Staffordshire
    Bond of Friendship Mary Jackson - Staffordshire Mary Jackson Date of Trial: 1 August 1816 Where Tried: Stafford Assizes Crime: Forgery Sentence: 14 years Est YOB: 1780 Stated Age on Arrival: 37 Native Place: Manchester Occupation: Housekeeper Alias/AKA: Marital Status (UK): Children on Board: Surgeon’s Remarks: Industrious Assigned NSW or VDL NSW Although she was a married woman, when Mary Jackson was brought before the Stafford Assizes on 1 August 1816 she had not seen her husband Peter for quite some time but, as we shall see, they were to be reunited a few years later. Mary was charged with having forged notes in her possession and sentenced to 14 years transportation.1 But it was not just one or two notes that caused Mary to be sent to the other end of the world. She was actually found with fifty-six forged one-pound notes - a very tidy sum - acquisition of which would have involved a considerable capital outlay by a person of some means. But, as we are not aware of Mary’s financial circumstances at the time, it is not known whether she intended passing on the notes for her own purposes, or was acting as an agent, possibly on a commission basis, for someone else.2 Nearly a year after her trial Mary Jackson was taken aboard the convict transport Friendship, one of only two women from Stafford, the other being Margaret Yates, who was to serve her sentence in Van Diemen’s Land.3 The indent tells us very little more about Mary – confirming the trial details and the sentence meted out, but also stating that Mary was aged 37 and a housekeeper by occupation.4 She had obviously kept herself ‘in order’ on the voyage, Surgeon Cosgreave summing up her conduct as ‘industrious’.
