(Sent this to another list but it didn't post so trying here) Trying to track down the arrival/origins of Michael WOOLAGHAN/HOULAGHAN who, along with Alexander SUTTER/SUITER, was erroneously sentenced to death for murdering Rowland EDWARDS in 1814. There is a reference in the trial to SUTTER arriving as ships crew so i don't think i'll have any luck with him. After sentencing, the correct culprits were identified (partly through a confession on the gallows by Donovan), a pardon was sought and given in 1816. I believe that Michael WOOLAGHAN/HOULAGHAN is the same sentenced to hang in 1803 for disappearing with a group of convicts from Castle Hill and ransacking a home (see Gazette V1, N3, 1803), but as with some others I assume he was pardoned - couldn't find an account of his hanging. I've looked through state records, ancestry records etc - I've not been able to find his arrival, though I believe Michael was granted land in 1818 after his pardon. It seems a second 'WOLAGHAN, Michael' arrived in 1817 on the "Almorah" (Colonial Sec records). I haven't had luck tracking their deaths etc., but working our where they came from would be useful. Any hints appreciated. cheers matt -- Matthew D. Hall Washington, DC cell: +1 410 733 9444 home: +1 202 370 6431
