Hi all, An extract from "St Peters Richmond Early People & Burials to 1855" in regard to my convict, John Ablett, states that the "Sydney Gazette of 11 June, 1814, reported that he [John Ablett] had absconded from his Master, Robert Jenkins." The extract also states that John Ablett had been sent to the Windsor District as an assigned servant. I had assumed that this was his first assignment after arriving on the Earl Spencer in Oct 1813. I have found a little on a Robert Jenkins, a Sydney based merchant, but this does not seem to fit with an assignment in the Windsor area. John Ablett was then subsequently assigned to William Cox at Windsor, assumably following his recapture. Does anyone know of a Robert Jenkins who had interests in the Windsor area around 1814? Please excuse the post to 2 lists. Regards, Russell Orchard
