Notes for John (Francis)
Harris:
On 25 May 1788, John
Harris, a chimney sweep, and an accomplice John Place, knocked down a
man and stole a silver
watch, some money, a neck handkerchief and a pocket handkerchief. On
the following day, the watch
was pawned for 25 shillings and on 27 May 1788, Harris and Place
were arrested. Harris was indicted under the name of
Francis Harris at the June 1788 Old Bailey
Sessions. Both men were found guilty and sentenced
to death. Harris was sent to
Newgate
Prison under a suspended
death sentence, remaining there until September 1789, when he, along
with more than 100 other
capital convicts, were called to the bar of the Old Bailey and offered a
pardon on condition of
transportation for life. On 10
November 1789, Harris was embarked on
the Scarborough,
part of the Second Fleet which sailed for NSW on 19 January 1790. After
stopping
at
Cape Town, the Scarborough arrived in Sydney on 28 June 1800. In
December 1800,
Francis Harris joined the New South
Wales Corps and was thereafter known as John Harris. He
received a
conditional pardon in January 1801. After bouts of ill health, Harris was
discharged
from the corps
in
April 1803. On 30 June 1803, he
received a 90 acre grant (later known as
Minnaville) at Evan and
took up
farming. In 1806 he was living with
Ann Carney, who had
arrived aboard the Marquis
Cornwallis in 1796. Harris was listed as employing a
convict and
two free men. Around 15 acres of his property had been
sown in wheat, barley and potatoes.
Harris also held 8 bushels of wheat
and maize in store and
owned a horse and 14 hogs. Shortly afterward, Harris suffered losses in a
flood including 100 bushels
of wheat and 15 acres of corn. By
1806 he had rented 30 acres of
his grant to Robert
Guy.
By 1820, Harris had been
granted an absolute pardon. He
petitioned the Governor to be granted
a number of cattle from the
government herd, citing his military service, seven young children
and numberless domestic
privations. Another petition was
lodged in 1824, asking for more land
for his growing herd of 50
cattle. Harris signed a petition in
1825 complaining of the blocking of a road.
In 1828, Harris was
recorded as still living on 90 acres at Evan, and owned 64 cattle and 5 horses.
Harris died on 24 January
1838 and was buried in the Castlereagh churchyard on 26 January 1838.
His wife Ann, predeceased
him in 1835 and was also buried at Castlereagh.
In 1828 John and Ann Harris
owned 90 acres 60 acres cleared 55 acres cultivated and had 5
horses and 64 cattle at "Evan"
