Dear Rhonda, I am interested in anything about early settlement in Jamberoo, Kiama, Albion Park (Terry's Meadows or Macquarie River) and Shellharbour. Do you know anything of "Davy the Lawyer's" colonial problems with the legal establishment for alleged cattle stealing and sly grog selling? A very interesting character! -----Original Message----- From: newell <newell@tac.com.au> To: AUS-NSW-SE-L@rootsweb.com <AUS-NSW-SE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, 11 January 1999 16:18 Subject: Kiama; SMITH/DAVIS; 1818-1883. >New to the list. > >These two people are my wish come true. > >David SMITH b. 1800 Wapping, London, was a convict, convicted of larceny >and transported to New South Wales in 1818.
