List of convicts on the First Fleet
![](../I/m/Wallabadah.jpg)
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]
The six ships that transported the First Fleet convicts were:
- Alexander
- Charlotte
- Friendship
- Lady Penrhyn
- Prince of Wales
- Scarborough[3]

KELLAN | John | London | 10 Sep 1783 | Death commuted to Life | aka John Herbert KEELING. Originally convicted at the Old Bailey of stealing one steel hilted sword, value 10s. on 30 April 1783 and sentenced to 7 years transportation in America.[76] Returned from transportation with 24 other convicts after taking control of the vessel,Swift, in which he was to be transported. He was discovered "at large" on 31 August 1783 in Sandhurst, Kent and was apprehended peacefully.[77] He was convicted on 10 September 1783 for returning from transportation with the other convicts. 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,[78] the King, however, thought fit to extend his mercy upon them and commute their sentences to transportation for life.[79] | Scarborough | c22 |

He was tried at the Old Bailey for returning from transportation and sentenced to death by hanging. The King, however, thought fit to extend his mercy upon them and commute their sentences to transportation for life on 10 September 1783.[81] | Scarborough | c27 |

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.[89][90] 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.[91] 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.[92] 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.[93] Became husband of Hannah MULLENS Lady Penrhyn |

However, interesting both Young and Power are listed in the Old Bailey Punishment Summaries as sentenced to 7 years transportation.[99] Both defended by William Garrow who said in his defence that "There is no evidence at all against Power" when cross-examining the witness Judah Bottlebold and that "what [Bottlebold] says against Power alone, is not evidence." | |
