Read their story
Was indentured to Colonel Peter Latour, bound for the Leschenault area. Passenger lists indicates him being a Blacksmith, but family believe he was a Stonemason, Bricklayer. He married Susannah Maydwell (27/08/1832) and had 2 boys and 5 girls. Apparently he became quite prosperous and owned several lots of land around Fremantle, later selling these to establish himself in Perth. This venture seemed to have failed and he went broke, and died in Fremantle. Apparently his wife was destitute. She died in Guildford 18/9/1893.
