Notes

Olivia had been convicted of armed robbery and sentenced to death. This sentence was later commuted to a seven years transportation. She was among the first convicts sent to Norfolk Island in 1788, where she married a fellow convict, Nathaniel Lucas, and raised a family of thirteen children. Olivia died in Longford, Tasmania in 1830. By 1991 her descendants had totalled 110,000, the largest Australian family.
