Hi Lesley & Christine, It is quite a long time since I added my tuppence worth, but I have kept up with what is going on. 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. Joan Edwards

Joan I also have connections with John Benn and John MacDonald - their wife Eliza Griffin was my 4GGaunt according to PAF5 :) Her sister Ann Griffin (married Thomas Bates) was my gggg grandmother. I'm descended through the Pipers.
