Hi Mary, I am fairly sure that it only states "Pender" in the reports of this incident, however John Pendergast (Minerva 1800) was living downriver at this time and would have had to travel past Mangrove Creek to get to Sydney by boat. I will double check my old research as I recall following up this report and see if there is anything else which may confirm.
