It gets interesting when you look at the McGinnis girls, father George per Britannia 1797. Agnes married James Connolly; Mary married David Brown son of David Brown convict who had married Eleanor Fleming; Phoebe married Joseph Fleming cousin of David Brown; Margaret married George Fleming brother of Joseph and cousin of David, Ann married Thomas Simpson Hall the uncle of Joseph and George Fleming, Maria married George Cobcroft, Catherine married Ebenezer Hall Brother of Thomas Simpson and uncle of Joseph and George Fleming; Sarah married William Brown brother of David and cousin of Joseph and George Fleming, Then Mary and David Brown's daughter Ann married Mathew Henry Hall who was the brother of Thomas Simpson and Ebenezer Hall, and uncle Joseph and George Fleming. This made Ann's Aunts also her sister-in -laws and nieces-in-laws.

David Brown & Paul Bushell plus Henry Greentree etc are ancestors of three of my grandchildren. Their lives were interwoven with several other Hawkesbury convict lines, but only marginally, I think, with my family's John Benn & John Macdonald of Pitt Town. These families make a fascinating study.
