Welcome

I've been working on this project since 2013, although my interest in local history and my family tree began in the 1980s. One of the key features of this website is to remember the names of those who descend from Hawkesbury convict and free settler families, but also to recall their stories through newspaper articles and family stories.

I update this site as much as I can. I have not yet covered every family. If you find an error in your family's name, date etc I am happy to correct.

________________________________________________

One of the largest families in the Hawkesbury district of New South Wales began with convict John Rogers marrying Elizabeth Celey on October 29, 1798 at Parramatta. Their three daughters, Elizabeth Ann (1800 to 1878), Mary (1803 to 1860) and Charlotte (1806 to 1893) all married men who were granted land in the Hawkesbury region of NSW. Their son John died as an infant.

Elizabeth married Job Wilson on November 19 in 1813 in Parramatta. Mary partnered with George Turner (although no marriage date has been found). Charlotte married John Barwick (aka Berwick) on June 5 1848 in Kurrajong.

Here's a bit of background on John and Elizabeth Rogers to kickstart the family tree in Australia.

Before being convicted of robbery, John had fought in the American War of Independence where he lost a hand in battle. After returning to England he was said to have stolen some personal items of a traveler, John Fitzpatrick. Apprehended months later, John Rogers was given a life sentence and put on the prison hulk ship ''Censor'' for three years. He was transported to Sydney on the Second Fleet ship ''The Neptune''.

John was granted 30 acres of land around Toongabbie in 1796. He had four acres of wheat and a few animals. John died on the farm in February 1806 and is buried in Parramatta. A reference to a John Rogers can be read here 

His wife Elizabeth Celey was born around 1776. She was convicted of stealing clothes and was sentenced to seven years in prison. Elizabeth was transported to Australia on the "Britannia" in 1798. After John died, she sold the farm for five pounds to William Wentworth. She married Robert Richardson in 1811 and had four more children. Catherine married Benjamin Hanslow, Eliza, Peter who married Elvira Tree and Harriet.


Elizabeth and Robert moved to Double Bay, however all of the Rogers girls moved to the Hawkesbury region of NSW.

1. Elizabeth Ann Rogers (1800 b. Parramatta  to 1878 d. Kurrajong)

Elizabeth married Job Wilson on November 19 in 1813 at Parramatta. Job was granted 50 acres at Kurrajong NSW (present day Hermitage Road) in 1821. He called his property Rocklands.  Job was born in 1788 in Cambridgeshire. He was convicted of stealing in 1811 and was given a life sentence. 

Job was transported on "The Guildford" and arrived in Sydney in 1812. He worked in a timber yard in Parramatta and was granted a conditional pardon. Job died on August 14, 1867 and is buried in St Peters Richmond. Elizabeth died in Kurrajong on July 8 1878 (she was living with her son Thomas Wilson at Rocklands) aged 82. She is buried at St Peters with Job.

Elizabeth and Job had 14 children.

N. Matilda 1842 to 1883 (married Thomas Silk 1862 at Richmond.



2. Mary Rogers (1803 b. Parramatta to 1860 d. North Richmond)

Mary partnered with George Turner sometime around 1818. George Turner, born around 1790 in Kent, was given a life sentence for stealing in 1812 and was transported on the "Earl Spencer" in 1813. He was assigned to Dennis Duggan near Ryde. He remained as a convict for Duggan until Duggan's death in 1818. He was then assigned to Richard Rouse at Rouse Hill. George was granted a ticket of leave in 1818. Sometime after this, George met Mary Rogers and they moved to the Hawkesbury.

George was listed as a farmer in North Richmond in the 1828 census. He rented land from Thomas John. George died in North Richmond in 1872 and is buried at St Peters Richmond. Mary died in 1860 at Kurrajong and is also buried at St Peters.

Mary and George had 7 children.

3. Charlotte Rogers (1806 b. Parramatta to 1893 died Kurrajong)

Charlotte married John Barwick aka Berwick on June 5 1848 at Kurrajong. 
John Barwick was born in 1792 and was tried for house breaking in 1808. He was transported to Sydney in 1810 on the "Ann II."

In the 1814 muster, John is listed as being part of a jail gang in the Windsor area. He was granted a conditional pardon in 1816. John worked land around Kurrajong as a farmer and more than likely rented the land. He and Charlotte did not get married until after the birth of their 13th child.

John died in Guildford in 1858 and was buried at St Peters in Richmond. There is a headstone for him, Charlotte, their daughter Mary and their son George. Originally, he was called Berwick, but it appears to be known as Barwick by subsequent generations.
