List of convicts on the First Fleet
The First Fleet is the name given to the first group of eleven ships that carried convicts from England to Australia in 1788. Beginning in 1787 the ships departed with about 759 convicts (586 men, 192 women), provisions and agricultural implements. Seventeen convicts died and two were pardoned before departure. Another nine died before reaching Santa Cruz plus another 14 who died before arrival at Port Jackson, during the eight-month trip.
In 2005, the First Fleet Garden, a memorial to the First Fleet immigrants was created on the banks of Quirindi Creek at Wallabadah, New South Wales. Stonemason, Ray Collins, researched and then carved the names of all those who came out to Australia on the eleven ships in 1788 on tablets along the garden pathways. The stories of those who arrived on the ships, their life, and first encounters with the Australian country are presented throughout the garden.[1]
No single definitive list of people who travelled on those ships exists; however, historians have pieced together as much data about these pioneers as possible. In the late 1980s, a simple software program with a database of convicts became available for Australian school students, both as a history and an information technology learning guide. An on-line version is now hosted by the University of Wollongong.[2]

Ann was convicted at Worcester for breaking, entering and stealing 1 petticoat with force of arms, value 20s, on 11 March 1786.[104] Originally sentenced to death, Ann's sentence was commuted to 7 years transportation. Ann had been born in in Grimley, Worcestershire in occupation was listed as a Mantua maker.[105] On 14 February 1788, Ann was sent to Norfolk Island aboard the Supply. Ann cohabited with Philip Gidley King, then a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Marines.[106] Ann and Philip had a son named Norfolk. All three returned to Port Jackson aboard the Supply on 24 March 1790. In Port Jackson a second son, named Sydney, was born to Philip and Ann. Philip Gidley King left New South Wales in October 1790 to deliver dispatches to Britain, leaving Ann and the two boys in New South Wales. Whilst in England, Philip arranged for their two sons to be educated in England, where they became officers in the Royal Navy. Whilst in England King also married his first cousin, Anna Josepha Coombe, on 11 March 1791 at Saint Martin in the Fields, London, and returned shortly afterwards with his wife on HMS Gorgon to take up his post as Lieutenant-Governor of Norfolk Island. King returned in September 1791, and probably at Philip Gidley King's arrangement, Ann married Richard John Robinson, a Second Fleeter who arrived on the Scarborough, on 18 November 1792 at Parramatta, NSW. Philip Gidley King would go on to become the third Governor of New South Wales as of 28 September 1800. On 23 August 1794, Richard and Ann received a 30-acre land grant at the Northern Boundary farms. Philip Gidley King's sons by Ann returned to England with their father and to be educated there in October 1796. King had returned due to health issues concerning Gout. In 1800, a grant of a Parramatta lot was given to Ann although the papers were annotated by Philip Gidley King as given to Ann Robinson, her married name. In 1804, a grant of a Sydney town lot was given to Ann although the papers were annotated the same as for the Parramatta lot. This particular holding was a large in Pitt Row. Later it was numbered 105 Pitt Street. Here, Ann looked after a shop which included her eatery at their inn, the 'Yorkshire Grey.' In 1800 their household included two servants. An extract from the Sydney Gazette 25 November 1804 notes: "Eating House Pitt's Row: Richard John Robinson begs leave to inform his friends and the Public in general that he intends opening an Eating House at the Yorkshire Grey, to commence on the 29th inst. As can be only harbinger of success in an undertaking dependent onpublic affirmation and support, he flatters himself that by uniform endeavor to merit will be to ensure a liberal encouragement. Officers of Vessels, Settlers, and all who may have occasion to make his house that of their occasional resort, that shall find every accommodation that can be hoped. Dinners will be drest at a short notice and sent out if required. Means will be adopted to furnish the labouring orders at a trifling expense."[107] In March 1820, Ann left the Colony on board the Admiral Cockburn.

Notably a Charles KEELING (a probable relative). During the trial he and Charles Keeling were described as having had a very principal share in taking the vessel out of the hands of the Captain, in arising on him and the company, and in freeing themselves and others; and though they appeared active afterwards, in endeavouring to protect the Captain from the violence of the crew, yet there is very great reason to apprehend that this was done in order to colour purposes that perhaps would not have been carried into execution without their assistance and countenance; and Charles Keeling in particular, by the effrontery and boldness he displayed at the time sentence of death was pronounced upon him, gave the Court too much reason to think that he was a very hardened offender. Originally all sentenced to death,[115] the King, however, thought fit to extend his mercy upon them and commute their sentences to transportation for life.[51] | Scarborough | c22 |

LIMEBURNER | John | New Sarum | 9 July 1785 | 7 | John was convicted at Salisbury for stealing a waistcoat, linen shirt and stockings, value 20s, on 9 July 1785.[183] Originally sentenced to death, John's sentence was commuted to seven years transportation.[184] A report from the Dunkirk hulk described John as "tolerably decent and orderly." John married Elizabeth Ireland on 26 September 1790 at Rosehill, New South Wales. In 1847 The South Australian Register reported in an article dated Wednesday 3 November 1847: "John Limeburner, the oldest colonist in Sydney, died in September last, at the advanced age of 104 years. He helped to pitch the first tent in Sydney, and remembered the first display of the British flag there, which was hoisted on a swamp oak-tree, then growing on a spot now occupied as the Water-Police Court. He was the last of those called the 'first-fleeters' (arrivals by the first convict ships) and, notwithstanding his great age, retained his faculties to the last."[185] John established a farm on a 50-acre Land Grant at Prospect Hill on 5 August 1792. John died at Ashfield on 2 September 1847 and is buried at St. John's Ashfield. | Charlotte |
LIMPUS | Thomas | London | 10 September 1783 | Life | Thomas was previously convicted at the age of 17 in 1777 of the theft of a handkerchief and sentenced to 3 years hard labour.[186][187] Due to the rebellion of the American colonies, the hulks anchored on the Thames were established as a stop gap arrangement on which convicts were employed in moving gravel and filling pits, driving in posts to support new wharves, digging ditches and building drains.[187] The British Government were unable to find a place beyond the seas to send convicts sentenced to transportation, so Thomas was returned to dry land by 1780. Two years later, on 8 October 1782, Thomas is sentenced at Westminster before William Mainwairing to 7 years transportation to Africa for theft, on 4 September 1782, of a cambrick handkerchief, value 10 pence.[188] Thomas was transported on the Benkiasa and was landed at the island of Gorée on the West coast of Africa on 3 December 1782. Many convicts were sent to West Africa as soldiers to man the Slave Forts. However, Thomas did not go to West Africa as a soldier but simply as a transported felon, although what role he was supposed to fulfil there was unclear.[189] Many convicts died in Africa, and those who survived proved too unruly for soldiery and managing the region. Subsequently, transportation to Africa became seen as little more than tantamount to a death sentence.[190] John WOODHAM and Samuel RUGLASS were sent to Africa on the same ship as Limpus. They also found themselves among the First Fleet when recaptured in England. Gorée at the time was under the management of Joseph Wall. Thomas recalls working for him during his time on Gorée. Thomas returned to England in 1783. War with the French and Dutch was rife, and many French and Dutch ships stalked the West African coast. Like RUGLASS and WOODHAM, Thomas decided to sail away on a British ship than stay behind on the island.[191] Thomas was recaptured at King Street in Seven Dials, London in October 1783. Thomas was convicted at the Old Bailey for returning from transportation on 10 September 1783. In his defence, Thomas gives an account of what happened at Gorée: "My Lord, on the 3rd December last, I was landed on the island of Gorée, with nineteen more, the soldiers were drawn up in a circle on the parade, the Lieutenant of the island ordered us all into the middle of it, and told us we were all free men, and that we were to do the best we could, for he had no victuals,there was a ship lay in the bay, I went on shore several times and did work for the Governor, I remained there till the time I came home, which was last Saturday was three weeks, I did not chuse to go into the hands of the enemy, I got on board of this English vessel, I had engaged to go out in her again, I sent to our Captain yesterday by my mother, and he is clearing out his ship, and when that was done, he sent word he would come, we laid four days in the bay before the governor would receive us, he said his troops were starving already on the island, and it was very hard that he should have a parcel of men on the island; when we came away, the island was given up to the French."[192] John RUGLASS' trial for returning from transportation notes similar sentiments about being sent off and told to fend for themselves by Captain Lacey at Gorée.[191] Thomas was found guilty of returning from transportation at his trial and sentenced to death, however, this conviction was overturned and Thomas was granted the King's mercy and sentenced to transportation for life in America.[193] Thomas' second transportation was bound for Nova Scotia aboard the Mercury. Thomas was involved in the Mercury Mutiny, in which convicts rose up against the crew in April 1784 and returned to England, landing in Torbay. See Charles PEAT for further information on the Mercury Mutiny. Thomas was recaptured in Devon, his trial for returning from transportation sentenced him to death once again, however, once again he was granted mercy and given transportation for life.[194] The first fleet carried 67 of the Mercury convicts with them. Whilst held in the Dunkirk prison hulk, Thomas was described as a "quiet prisoner."[195] Given his previous experiences of transportation and being held aboard a prison hulk, this is hardly surprising.[196] Thomas was sent to Norfolk Island on 4 March 1790. On 13 September 1796, Thomas received a conditional pardon. Thomas was marked as dead in 1801 aged about 41. Thomas had been born on the 23 July 1760 in the parish of Saint Martin in the Fields, Westminster into a modest background. His parents, Henry and Mary, regularly relied upon the parish to make ends meet and Thomas is recorded as having spent Christmas at the age of 14 in the workhouse.[186] Thomas' father died in February 1776, which may have spurred Thomas to turn to crime. | |
LIGHTFOOT | Samuel | Exeter | 14 March 1785 | Death commuted to 7 | Samuel was convicted at Exeter for stealing Steal 5 linen shirts and 5 linen handkerchiefs, value 81s, on 14 March 1785.[197] Originally sentenced to death, Samuel's sentence was commuted to 7 years transportation.[198] Samuel was about 34 at the time of his transportation in 1787. A report from Dunkirk hulk notes that Samuel had behaved "remarkably well." Samuel returned to England after his sentence had expired around 1792/1793. Samuel petitioned to return to New South Wales as a settler, with his wife. On 20 February 1794, Samuel received a 30-acre land grant on the North side of the harbour opposite Sydney Cove. Samuel and his wife arrived in the colony in 1803 aboard the Calcutta. Samuel went to Van Diemens Land in 1804. In April 1810, Samuel is recorded as an overseer in Hobart, Van Diemens Land. He died in Hobart on 17 May 1818 and was buried four days later. | Charlotte |

John's occupation was listed as a watchmaker.[204] The area of London in which he lived, Holborn and, was notorious for watchmaking at the time. John was defended by William Garrow at his trial. On 4 March 1790, John was sent to Norfolk Island from Port Jackson.[205] On 26 December 1807, John went to Van Diemens Land on the Porpoise. John drowned there on 16 April 1808. | Alexander |
LONG | Mary | London | 25 October 1786 | Life | Mary was convicted at the Old Bailey for assault and highway robbery of, on 30 September 1786, a gold locket, value 20s, on 25 October 1786.[206] Originally sentenced to death,[207] Mary's was granted the King's Pardon and the sentence commuted to transportation for life in New South Wales on 23 Mary 1787.[208] Mary was included on a contractor’s list by error, and did not sail with First Fleet.

Morgan and Lock did not reunite on Norfolk Island, as he had started living with another woman there. Elizabeth began cohabiting with a Marine, Thomas Scully.[213] Thomas left Norfolk Island on the Asia in 1795. Elizabeth may have gone with him because the last record of her in the colony was when she was rationed in 1795. | Lady Penrhyn |

Thomas Williams received a grant of 60 acres at Creswell Bay in February 1792. In September 1793, Thomas Williams was listed as a constable in the Creswell Bay and West Point streams area. He also worked as a miller. In August 1795 Thomas Williams went to Port Jackson on leave, returning to Norfolk Island in December 1795. By 1814 Thomas and ANn were living together in the Sydney area, although Ann does not appear with him in the 1821 register. In September 1823, Ann appears in the Muster but she disappears before the 1828 Muster.

PEAT | Charles | London | Life | Originally convicted at the Old Bailey on 5 December 1781 and sentenced to death for stealing by highway robbery a silk purse, value 3 pence, and 23 shillings in monies on Finchley Common, which was notorious for highwaymen. The jury recommended mercy during his trial.[237][238] The sentence of death was later overturned and Charles was sentenced to transportation for life in Nova Scotia. However, he was found "at large" in England, his return from transportation is recorded in the Old Bailey Punishment Summaries of 10 September 1783.[239] He was tried for this at the Old Bailey on 7 July 1784. During the trial, Charles stated that the ship he had been sent on for the purpose of transportation had been "Bound for Virginia." George Holt, the steward of the ship Mercury stated that the vessel was bound "for Baltimore in Maryland, from thence to Honduras, and from thence to Virginia, (for we had sixteen or seventeen thousand pounds cargo on board) and from thence to Nova Scotia, to deliver the servants, as they are entitled indented servants" (The convicts). Although, interestingly, Charles insists during the trial that he had been sentenced to five years in Virginia not Nova Scotia. That would have been convenient given that at the time of his sentencing the American War of Independence was nearing its end. The court then brought forward John Owen as a witness, who stated that he knew Charles Peat and that upon being sentenced to death at trial in 1781 "he remained in Newgate a great while; he afterwards received his Majesty's mercy, and in July 1783, he accepted of the conditions, I was present then, and brought him to the bar, the conditions were, his being transported to Nova Scotia for the term of his natural life." He then notes that he was held in the Woolwich Hulks until a ship was ready to transport him to Nova Scotia. Following John Owen's statement, Charles gives his own account to the court, in which he states that after received his Majesty's pardon, on 4 June 1782 he was apprehended in Smithfield, and brought to prison. He then states I pleaded Not Guilty to this indictment, not with intent to give the Court any unnecessary trouble, but to explain the hardness of my case; the robbery I was cast for was attended with such circumstances of behaviour on my part, that the Court thought me not unworthy of clemency, and I was accordingly recommended to his Majesty's mercy, and I was afterwards pardoned on condition of serving in the royal army in the East Indies; but some difficulty arising in putting this pardon into execution, my prosecutor applied to Mr. Townsend, now Lord Sydney, for a free pardon; then I had a pardon on condition of serving on board any of his Majesty's ships or vessels of war; I went on board His Majesty's Ship the Prince Edward, two months after, having been six months at my liberty, and I was taken up for not complying with the terms of my pardon, and committed to Newgate, where I continued six months, and was had up every Sessions, and was informed I should be discharged: during the time I was in Newgate, I had a severe illness, which rendered me insensible, and whilst I was in that state I was brought before Counsellor Harrison, who sat as Deputy Recorder. When the sentence of the Court was read to me to be transported to Nova Scotia for the term of my natural life, it may be said I acquiesced, but I was then in a state of insensibility: I apply to Mr. Akerman, that during my long confinement, I never was charged with any offence; I have served his Majesty in the royal navy, and had the honour of bearing a commission. Whilst I was on board the hulk, I had the mortification of seeing my fellow sufferers die daily, to the amount of two hundred and fifty? several who have had pardons similar to mine. The court asked John Owen if he could positively identify Charles Peat as the same Charles Peat convicted of highway robbery in December 1781 at the Old Bailey. He said he could not and the court and jury decided that they were not satisfied with the evidence brought against Charles. He was given a decision of not guilty if he made out his case and they were sure every enquiry was made.[240] It would seem however, that evidence came to light to convict Charles as he was sentenced to transportation for life in the Old Bailey Punishment Summaries for 23 February 1785.[241] Became husband of Hannah MULLENS Lady Penrhyn |

UNDERWOOD | James | New Sarum | 11 Mar 1786 | Death commuted
to 14 |
James was convicted at Salisbury for stealing 5 sheep with intent to steal fat & kidneys, value 100s, on 11 March 1786.[253] Originally sentenced to death, James' sentence was commuted to 14 years transportation. James was aged about 44 at the time of his transportation.[254] James was described in a report from the Dunkirk Hulk as "tolerably decent and orderly." This James Underwood should not be confused with the Third Fleeter of the same name who was a shipwright and became very successful in the colony. On 4 July 1788, James was marked as "Run from the Colony'"and does not appear in later records. This was when the Alexander, Prince of Wales and the Borrowdale were preparing to leave the colony. It is possible that James stowed way on one of these ships and escaped in 1788. However, it is also possible James died in Australia away from the colony. | Charlotte |
USHER | John | Maidstone | 17 Mar 1785 | 7 | John was convicted at Maidstone for stealing 5 yards of linen, value 39s, on 17 March 1787.[255] John was about 16 at the time of his trial, and his occupation was listed as jeweller. On 4 March 1790, John was sent to Norfolk Island on the Supply. On 12 May 1790, John was sentenced to 50 lashes for theft. On Norfolk Island, John began cohabiting with Margaret Carter, a Second Fleeter who arrived aboard the Lady Juliana. On 21 July 1792, John settled on a 12-acre lease near Sydney Town, Norfolk Island. A son to John and Margaret, John Carter was born on Norfolk Island in 1792. Margaret died on Norfolk Island in 1796.[256] In October 1796, John was employed as an overseer. John returned to Port Jackson in 1801 aboard the Porpoise. No further records can be traced and it is possible that he returned to England shortly after this.[257] | Alexander |

VICKERY | William | Exeter | 20 March 1786 | 7 | William was convicted at Exeter for stealing money, value 120s, on 20 March 1786.[258] A report from the Dunkirk hulk described William as "tolerably decent and orderly". On 4 March 1790, William was sent to Norfolk Island on the Sirius.[259] William may have been the convict ‘Vinry’ who received 100 lashes on 15 February 1791 for stealing cobs of corn. On 14 July 1808 William left Norfolk Island on the Lady Nelson as a Third Class Settler, bound for Van Diemens Land. There, William held 30 acres at Clarence Plains, where he died on 28 November 1828. | Charlotte | c25 |
