Does anyone have this man in their tree or know what happened to him after his arrival in Australia? The information I currently have is this: he was tried at the Cornwall Assizes in August 1787 for highway robbery, imprisoned at Bodmin jail, and subsequently transported, in early 1790, to New South Wales, on the 'Neptune.' He had originally been given a life sentence but this was commuted to seven years in the colony. I am hoping that someone will be able to provide details of his birthplace in Cornwall and his approximate age, as I am trying to establish whether he is the father of an illegitimate child called Benjamin Dunstone John, born in Wendron, Cornwall, in 1787.
