Patrick Byrne (Snr)
Born: 1771, Ireland 10
Marriage: Catherine Power
Died: 6 Jun 1848, Cornwallis, Windsor, NSW at age 77 11
Buried: St Matthews, C Of E Cemetery, Windsor, NSW 11
General Notes:
Although Patrick arrived on the "Rolla" on 12 May 1803 it is not quite certain which is his trial, as there were several Patrick Byrnes tried and sentenced to transportation to Australia but the one most likely was tried in Dublin in 1802, arrived on the "Rolla" and died at Cornwallis in 1848. In 1820 he was renting and farming 30 acres of a Hawkesbury property known as "Argyle" together with a Patrick Gore who had 15 acres, William Lawrence who had 25 acres and Francis Prendergast who had 20. In 1816 Byrne is listed in various journals as District Constable and Farmer at Cornwallis which is now Windsor and he was assigned a Patrick Dogherty as a servant. In January 1925 Dogherty received his Ticket of Leave and left Patrick's employ to take up his own grant. The 1822 census shows Patrick as living with Catherine Power she being his female servant, but the 1825 census shows them as man and wife with two children. Apparently they had tied the knot some time in the three years between these musters. Patrick outlived Catherine by 18 years and apparently both are buried in the same grave at the old St Matthews Catholic Cemetery at Windsor. Warren Sheppard's notes contain the fact that Patrick & Catherine are buried in the same grave at the old Catholic Cemetery at Windsor, but a keen search by my wife and I failed to find the grave site, although Patrick Byrne the second's grave is there and I have included a photograph of it. I have since found that this is not quite correct as they are both buried in the same grave in the Church of England Cemetery at St Matthews C of E Cemetery. This came about as there was no Catholic Cemetery in Windsor at that time and the Rector of St Matthews gave permission for them to be buried in those grounds. This is borne out by entries in the St Matthews C of E Parish Registers. An interesting addition to the story of Patrick & Catherine is a letter written by another convict who was transported on the "Rolla", by the name of Andrew Doyle. This letter was kindly sent to me by Debbie Howse by way of a newsgroup on the Internet known as the Soc. Genealogy Aust. & NZ and is reprinted from "The Hardwicke Papers", British Library, 35644 ff. 292-6. The full text of the letter is shown below.(The Hardwick Papers , British Library 35644 ff 292-6)"The Hawkesbury Doyles" A. P. Doyle , 1992 Illawarra Historical PublicationsRevd. SirI take the earliest opportunity to inform you of our safe arrival here onthe 10th May 1803 after a passage of six months and after delaying 1 monthin Rio de Janeiro in the continent of Sth America where Mrs Doyle andmyself spent the happiest days we ever spent in our lives and where she andher children would meet with the greatest encouragement by stopping theliberty I received from Capt. Cummings in accepting her as a Cabbinpassenger was an effectual bar to my attempting an escape- as let my crimesbe as they may are diverted by ingratitude. Suffice it to say we partedwith the Spanish President of Sevile Snr. Dn. Pedro Preusy(?) with tears onboth sides and more like a near relative than an acquaintance of one month.You will be please return my sincere thanks to Nath. Cravan Esq. whoseletter introduced me to Governor King for whom I am employed in compilingand drawing the various natural shrubs of this Colony - my hours ofattendance in his house being from 9-12 each day , for which I have thebenefit of all my family being victualled form H.M. stores. Mrs Doyle isallowed 2 men and a farm of 80 acres of, farming is very bad here. Gov. K.through his ingenuity has reduct the price of wheat to seven shgs. perBushell.."To give you an account of the various beauties of this colony would requirethe pen of a more able writer than me. The climate is here the mosthealthful, Snow is never seen. The latitude is 30 degrees 20 ' longitude E151 degrees 20' and the transitions from heat to cold is surprising . Theland breeze from the equator is Hot wind and by the wind shifting a fewpoints we have it from the trackless bosom of the Gt. Sth. Sea, and ofcourse having no land to obstruct its passage comes a blast of greatviolence, as the same latitude to the South be it reminded is colder thanthe Northd. at the same distance.Gov. K is one of the most passionate men in Existence. Humane and Generousto a degree of magnitude prompt on the execution of any design he is neveridle. I have the happiness to please him as no person contests theexecution of my natural flowers. It is an amusement to me and I may do whatI like. The Govts. formed of the Govr. absolute, the courts of Judicaturefound of the Magistrates of the Colony and the Judge, whose name is Atkins,a very well bredd gentleman, came out an officer in the Army. Criminal Ctsformed by officers of the N. S. Wales Corps assisted by Naval Officers if aKing's ship be in.Fairer trials never were in any country given, the judge advocate opens thecourt by reading the Act of Gt. Britain which entitles him to sit there,and by such causes they then proceed , the officers as a jury. People athome may laugh at their attempts to act without councills but I assure youit Surpasses in the Justice of its sentence at least your Hibernian ones ofmodern days. The Gov. seldom indeed deprives a man of Life, about 33received sentences of death since his arrival out of which 11 died.""I am sorry to inform you that, on the day I write this 6 are being hungnor has this colony enjoyed peace since arrival of the first united ships.They may be indeed literally compared with the Deamons banished fromhappiness carry desblatn and pestilence into every place they resort. Thename of the Capital is Sidney with about 1300 , some excellent stone housesan elegant Church. Next settlement is Paramatta or Rose Hill a beautifulvillage - with a Beautiful church stands 17 miles from Sidney up the river.The third settlement, Hawkesbury, the land of which exceeds any other forproduce, stands 50 miles from Sidney.The Gvr. is now forming a fourth settlement called Castle Hill, a beautifulplace and good Land where all the prisoners to the amount of 400 work. From an inclination to free themselves as they unfortunately thought lastSunday wk. the 5th April they all rose in the houses and cried out Libertyor Death rushed through all the farms for miles round doing no othermischief than taking the arms , at my farm they took my Gun. Informationarriving at Sidney the signal guns fired and town bells assembled both Armyand inhabitants. The Govr. though ill himself, set out with a party offoot soldiers and falling in with them in the most human manner asked theirgrievance. They requested liberty, he condescended to speak to two of theirdelegates and told them it was impossible. He told all people for life hewould emancipate them that is giving them liberty to do for themselves everto be excluded from Govt. claim and that he would make the rest comfortabletill their time was out.""They would not and he returned and proclaimed those places in rebellionpromising emancipation to return again Friday but the Army falling in with'em killed 8 or 10 and took many prisoners, they since return to their dutyand I am soryy to inform you that Timothy Hogan an unfortunate man who wasput in Newgate for going to look for his wife, and a mn Dom.... Doyle orRichard Headen will remember by the name of Capt. with three more diestomorrow in Sidney.So much for a rebellion in our part of the world which is now quashed .Several Irish have fell, that to the amt above spoken of but no distinctn., they expiate their offence English as Irish. Among the rest, oneJohnstonan Orangeman who joined up in Cork , was a Sergeant in the Army athome, he was the most courageous man went to action being in gibbett.Sir Henry Hayes I have to inform you has acted in the most singular mannerhere, having a disagreement with the Surgeon General Jamieson in his comingout here. He was immediately on his arrival clapd into gaol on getting outhe found connexion with lowest order of society such as Edward Turley ofDublin and many others which exasperated the gentlemen and on holding lateclubs against Gov. orders was put again to jail. He wears a beardassociates with n woman and a young man , A Cooper whom he has a friendshipordered to quit the Colony. His Enemys accuse him in an oblique way of ahorrid connexion . Indeed he is no man to imitate . The Govr. sent him tothe Hoe for some weeks he is now free as usual there is no ditincion withGov. K between a Prince and a plebian.""The Govnr. has formed a large new settlement about 10 degrees from thiscalled Hobart in Risdon Cove in Van Diemens Land where the last ship fromEngland's people are gone to the amount of 450 with troops and about 250more from this . It is divided from this land by a Strait called Bass'sStraits and is of course much colder being 10 degrees more southern manyare however volunteering their services Settlers and Prisoners.The natives here are very friendly with the people some of them speakbetter English than any foreigner I ever heard for a few words and some ofthem become very serviceable tis pitty they are not made subservient bysending them to an Diemens as to force here it would be useless as theywould escape to the woods but there the natives would kill them as soon asthe Europeans as within 60 miles of each other all over this vast tract ofland they speak different tongues.We have about 90 miles North of us a river called Hunters river whose Banksyield very fine Coals and whose forests are almost comprised of cedargreatly used in Ship or Boat building. Tis pitty with this advantagebestwoed by nature for nothing to buy a ton of them they are four pounds .It is unfortunate that this river lies on the other side a range ofmountains from us and when rain falls is Smothers all the Land so that wecan form at present no Settlement there, but if ever coals be wanting herethe exorbitance of their charge for any manufacture will repay well forthem . These mouns. are called the Blue extending for E. to SE of this landand under those from the heavy floods washing the earth form the heights ithas made the richest ground in the universe."" On the first year of this place being Settled 6 Heifers and a young Bulstrayd from Govt. and they now have multiplyd to thousnads but are sofurious that no project can be found for taking them. We are stritly forbidkilling em they are so far back twould not pay expence if there was inclinatn.The Natives manner of living here is very curious. The man never paysattention to the ant of his Gin or the young ones. The tribes who live nearthe water build or rather form a Canoe of the bark of a tree and there withhis Gin and two or three children sit in rotatn. him in front paddle abouttill viewing the small fish near the Surface. He has a Gig formed of apiece of wood about 7 feet long about as delicate as a fishing rod with twoprongs cut Sharp on the end and sometimes mounted with fish bone, theyimmedy dart it with one hand at the fish who incredible as it appears neverescape. When they get a sufficiency they repair to shore and on a certainday form a party and dance lighting many Gt. fires they call this aBoogeree Corrobora or good dance. The cause of their fights are generallyoccasioned by Jealousy or having any dislike they will immediately spearone of their companions perhaps when asleep. The aggressor then undergoes apunishmt. which is perhaps ten of the party Stands about twenty yds fromhim and they heave a certain number of spears at him he is armed withnothing but a Heleman as they call it which he braces on his arm as atarget and fends off at times all the spears and the target an inch thickof hard wood, I have seen them go thro. The spears are all flown at onceand I have seen em protect head body and legs in an astonishing manner. Butif he happens to be killed which they all aim for the man whose spear isfatal must when taken undergo a similar punishment and so it goes on tilleach friends party become extensive that a general battle ensues. bothparties become desperate the women leap up to each other flapping theirarms against their sides and makes a noise not unlike rattling ofSoldier's Belts the Men walk up to each other with a Stick called a Waddyin one hand and Spear in other your afraid and holds his head for ablowwhich s given by the antagt. and he staggers back then comes up againand returns it. They then open hostilities draw back and kill with thespear and generally leaves two or three dead and wounded. They wont sufferus to interfere. White Bouger co call to them or their Law. Bale theymeddle with us. There are few of them who has made good Sailors and theirconcepts are more quick than any of our unenlightened countrymen. As forreligion they adore nothing nor do they care for tomorrow . They are fondof bread braffied fish with us for Mogre as they call fish. The bush Blackseat Birds opossum squirrels rats frogs and Grubs of every kind. You wdwonder to see them how they dive their fingers among Aunts an inch long andhurtle them in their mouth as the sting is as bad as that of a tarantula.""I should be exceedingly happy if the Dublin Society would employ me todraw a collection of flowers insects etc. or any natural Curiosity . If anyGentm. wd. apply to them I am certain they wd. thank him for his pain as Ishould do it more as a momento than a thirst of gain and the ease of theirtransmitting paper and directions is os well known I need not mention it.They will by referring to their Books find I recd. a premium form them of20 Guineas for Callico pattern drawing. Any commands directed to the Captn.of the vessel in Dublin wd. come to Andw. Doyle Limner to Govr. King. If MrBraughall is living a member of that Hon. Society he will perhaps rememberme Serving my time to O'Brien Comerfd and Clarke of Palmerston. The Societywill be thankful to hear this proposal as it would cost them thousands toprocure them done in nay other manner and as I can if they chose class anddissect those Shrubs and flowers. I would be happy to evince to the Publickworld I can serve as well as direct my pursuits to injure man.The flowers and animals of this place exceed the World besides . The newestanimal found here is the Cola a drawing of which I have done which is sentto England of the Bear kind. As to the walking leaf and Straw they are heremany the body an exact rotten twig the leaves exact leaves and legs fibresnever seen in England . It would increase my happiness much to think how Icould with safety transmit you and Mr Cravan a few Drawings but if theSociety by yr. rev. speaking to any of them with respect to this business Ihumbly make bold to address a memorial to them which I presented at theirHouse Grafton St I would surely receive an answer to my satisfaction as Iknow from the different enquires made here would be glad to find anopportunity.""Mrs D begs leave to present her best respects and well wishes to YourReverence and Me Cravan and I sincerely hope that a letter from either yourRevc. or Mr Cravan appointing a place in London where I should direct a fewof the natural Curiosities for you, will come out in the next Vessell fromthat Port that is Dublin. In case of accident I have taken the liberty todirect this to Nath Cravan Esq care. As to Barrington he was High Constablehe is now mad and considered a worthless fellow, Capt. St Leger who washere in a very poor state having nothing to subsist on has made his escapein an American . He had been sent to Norfolk Island but was brought back.He was and is a good and Spirited man having no business here adapted tohim. As to a head constable tho' Barrn wished to make people believe it wasrespectable it is a make shift place. our other head Constable is oneRedmond , an Irishman a good natured drunken fellow. Our Provost Mart.Smyth and Irishman - Surgeon Gen. Jamison an Irishman and it's no matterwhat is the Country no distinction is made.if I did not know your good and humane disposition I would not attempt totake this liberty I know you will pardon it, as I declare to god it wouldgratify both me and Mrs D to hear of your happiness and good health alongwith that of Mr Cravan.Doctr. O'Connor is allowed back form Norfolk , he arrived here a weeksince. Docr. Archer requested me to see young Austin safe to his father , Icomplied with his request , he is here working at his business and so isMorang respectable but midlingly situated.""Six died on our passage , among them was the celebrated Tom the Fariy -you will rememr. him for his preaching - I was at his dissection - diedfrom swallowing a bone, I took it in my hand . Nancy Doyle lived with Capt.coming him Gone she is now infamous. Donnell is server in the stores, noprisr. here has made more than his Victuals and Clothing for such office,these light situats keep them from hard working.Frank Dalton is attending Govt. Brewery helper - Wm Carr is here in miserybeing in different hard working gangs. Jack Moore the Carpenter is likewisein Govt. employ but works in his own house and does well - Roger Farrellyour Rev. gave me a letter to I delivered, he since made his escape in anAmerican.We now see in this Harbour at different times seven or eight differentships - Thomas St John the Constable in Dublin , his brother-in-law JamesConnelly T has brought his time to has got free he is a boat builderworking at his trade- young Brown the tumbling chap is in the Dockyardlearning the boat building - Thos Cosgrove in Govt. employ well behavd. ,his brother William is in gaol to be flogged for this rebellion - StephenMurphy - my friend in gaol is a server in the Stores- Bryan Byrne is atGovt work and John Byrne is at hard labour, Capt Hughes and T More are inthe Bush, he has been a marauder many weeks but his fate is certain thereis no escaping eithr death in the Bush or taken shortly must be the case.I am concerned in a large boat about 20 tons Burthen which conveys wheatfrom the Hawkesbury , the Govr. has given me rigging for he is theworthiest man you can conceive. I hope in God it will be the means of myaccomplishing a large one and perhaps time may drive me home in one of myown. My part I pd. fifty pounds for there is one gone home form this 29tons Burthen.""Captn. Flinders who was wrecked went home in her. You wd. get men here togo home in my boat every man is a Sailor.I hope in less than a month to have an addition to my Flock. My boy ispretty far in arithmetic and shortly I hope to put him apprentic. Mrs D isnow very near her illness which is in general favorable on account of theClimate.Black Swans are at VAn Diemans in Gt Numbers and the Pelekin so muchadmired we have here in abundance . As to parrots the most beautiful everseen and the native pigeon is beautiful the insects Birds and animals areunparalleled . Our Defence against invasion must be very trifling but thepeople here are very Loyal and tho no country is to be compared to it forthe infamy of the women the men are general very well behavd.We have a very elegant school for female orphans supported by a Tax onpermits for liquor. Every person adjusted fit to get Liquor when a shipputs in pays one Shilling pr. gallon, the Licensed people and prices areaccording to the quantity in the Ship adjudged a certain portion and theSettlers and house keepers a certain portion in a like manner.Every article bought here retails again at 100 pr C. Liquor bt. at Rio ,India the Cape etc. is purchased for two shillings or a patae pr. gallonthe Captn who brings it is allowed by the Govr to charge nine Shillings ...and the retailers sell it for 10 Shs""It is vere rare that women coming out with theior husband prisr. free livehere with htem . Women of the lower order when tolerably behavd are a prizeand they tho shocking to relate live with as many as they consider occasionanswers..... are here here along with figs in great abundance . Pigs eat them theprice is one penny per dozen at this season . But the elegance of the Eaterin dress is equal to a boarding school at home for gentility.Mutton 1s 3d per pd considered nothing even pork fresh as fine as the worldproduces 1s 0d .You buy pigs alive at 6 pence dead at 8 pence and you have4 pence for cutting and Butchering . payments are generally made in grainif you want any article you pay Dr. then you pay at an exhorbitant prize.This letter goes in H.M. Ship Calcutta which also brings letters to some ofmy friends who will call on yr. reverence." That concludes Andrew's letter. What a significant find it (and the following memorial) were. Apart from the item in the Sydney Gazette I had not been able to find any information regarding the trip of, or the conditions on board the "Rolla"; Andrew's letter gives a brief glimpse into that and mentions the fate of some who travelled with him. After paying rather fulsome compliments to Governor King he goes on to describe the Colony in those very early days. Andrew has told in his freee and easy, and sometimes convoluted way, of the fate or activities of some of his fellow convicts, and the conditions in the 15 year old Colony as he saw them. He gives the first early description of the Southerly Buster that I have seen, as well as covering Aborigines, flora & fauna, commerce and society. Andrew Doyle's Memorial to the Dublin Society. This Memorial is held in the Hardwicke Papers with his letter. To the Right Hon. And Hon. The Dublin Society the humble memorial of Andrew Doyle, emancipated prisr. Of New Sth.
