• Notes

  Jane Baxter (Nee Barnes) Jane Barnes has a rather colourful background. Her grandfather, Edward, was the son of a convict. And his mother (Nee Mary Whitton) was the daughter of two convicts, Edward Whitton and Ann Slater. Records of the first settlement of New South Wales disclose that Edward Whitton was convicted at Maidstone Court, in Kent, of 'Highway Robbery' and sentenced to be hanged. His conviction was later reduced to life provided that he serve in the army at Jamestown, on the west Coast of Africa, for the rest of his life. This did not occur and instead he confined to one of the Thames hulks until he was eventually transported to Botany Bay on the "Scarborough" one of the ships in the first fleet, which arrived at Botany Bay on 20 January 1788. Ann Slater was Irish and was convicted in the Dublin Court, in 1788, for larceny of a petticoat. She was sentenced to seven years transportation and was transported from Cork Cove on the 'Queen' in April 1791 and arrived at Port Jackson in 16 October 1791. The 'Queen' was one of the ships in the Third Fleet. Six years later Edward was given a pardon and a land grant of 30 acres at Mulgrave Place NSW. It is not known if Edward and Ann married but records show that a daughter, Mary 1796 and a son, William 1799, were born in the colony of NSW to Edward Whitton. Mary Whitton had two marriages. She was first married, at the age of sixteen, to ex-convicts "Richard Barnes" No F266 who arrived on the sailing ship 'Glatten' on 3 March 1803. She bore seven children to Richard unfortunately Richard died in 1826 leaving her with seven young children to rear. Five months later, in March 1827, Mary married John Eccleston at St Peter's church Campbelltown. John arrived in the colony in March 1819 on the convict sailing ship 'Lord Sidmouth.' She also bore seven children to John. Mary died at Campbelltown in November 1855, aged 59 and was interred in the family crypt, at St John's Church Campbelltown. Sources: 1.
