William Jones Convict Transported “Marquis of Hastings” The ship Marquis of Hastings departed Portsmouth 30 June 1828 with 178 male prisoners. There were no deaths and Captain Drake reported that it was an excellent voyage. The voyage commencing on 29 June at Portsmouth and finishing on 9th October in Sydney Harbour. ......In the preceding journal I have detailed every case which occurred on board during the voyage. There are none of them however, of much importance and the remarkable state of good health which we enjoyed during the whole voyage leaves me little room for pathological observation. Several times indeed I had not a man on the sick list, a regulated diet, exercise, clothing, cleanliness and ventilation were the only prophylactics necessary to ensure continuance of good health. In the three scorbutic cases it will be observed that their constitutions were previously debilitated by hard living and the meteorological table will show that the weather frequently compelled me to keep the prisoners below and by coping with closed hatches in an atmosphere less dry than I could have wished, and consequently favourable to the production of scurvy, particularly in such cases as I have related. Still by taking advantage of every dry day together with the ample means placed at my disposal the disease was successfully combated...... These, gentlemen are the only observations which I have at present to offer, whilst we remain in a state of health, the dull monotony of a sea life, cooped up from all the world, affords little scope for much observation. Suffice it to say in conclusion, therefore, that the provisions and other articles put on board were all of a good quality and regularly supplied by the master of the ship from whom, and his officers I received every assistance in the execution of my duty and it is but Justice to the Master 1 to observe that his ship was clean, well managed and in every respect superior to the majority of ships employed in this service. Passengers on the Marquis of Hastings included Colonel Allen 57th regiment and family. Steerage passengers included Ann Driscol and Harriet Amos, servants to Colonel Allen. The guard comprised detachments of 57th and 63rd regiments., 5 women and 10 children. The husband of Esther Bowman was to make the voyage as a seaman on the Marquis of Hastings. Esther Bowman arrived with their four children as a convict on the Competitor. The Marquis of Hastings arrived in Port Jackson on 12 October 1828. A Muster was held on board on 15th October by Colonial Secretary Alexander McLeay. Three men were sent to hospital on arrival. The indents include information such as Name, Age, Education, Religion, Marital Status, Family, Native Place, Trade, Offence, When and Where Tried, Former convictions, Physical Description and to whom Assigned.

Assignment to William Lawson William Lawson (1774-1850), explorer and pastoralist, was born on 2 June 1774 at Finchley, Middlesex, England, the son of Scottish parents who had lived at Kirkpatrick. Educated in London, William was trained as a surveyor, but in June 1799 he bought a commission in the New South Wales Corps for £300. As an ensign he arrived at Sydney in November 1800 in the Royal Admiral and was soon posted to the garrison at Norfolk Island, where he married Sarah Leadbeater. He returned to Sydney in 1806, was promoted lieutenant and served for a time as commandant at Newcastle, a position he again occupied in 1809. Like many of his fellow officers Lawson quickly began to acquire agricultural interests. About 1807 he bought a small property at Concord, where he kept 6 horses, 3 bulls and 14 cows. By 1810 this property had extended to 370 acres (150 ha). 1828 Lawson had land of some 7000 acres of land at Prospect with 1250 acres cleared under 90 acres cultivation with 1200 head of cattle and 10000 sheep. This required him to have numerous convicts assigned to him to work the land and oversee the stock. William Lawson also had a landholding at Bathurst where William Jones was assigned while there he developed the skill as a sawyer and his occupation as sawyer was noted on the birth of his children. It has not been ascertained why William chose to move to the area of Mummel and later Gullen. Descendants of William & Susan Jones Generation No. 1 1.
