    Samuel Winslett was also my 5th great grandfather, and Jonathon my 4th great grandfather. I did my own research, however, and came to the same conclusions. Samuel became a soldier in the Revolutionary War and quite a man of substance in America.

    It's cool that the king gave her ancestors mercy. He probably looked at their circumstances and thought it best to give the brothers another chance

    Sad, they were orphans the brothers had no choice. They were just trying to survive without parents. :(

    A classic example of the uk aristocracy removing what contemporary people called the scum layer (a reference to foam on top of open beer fermenter kettles) from their society. His years of labor generated income for the king. Total economic slavery by today's standards and also an example of how the colonies were for profit prisons for many who immigrated there.

    back then the aristocrats owned everything, treated everybody else like slaves, he was probably just trying to feed his family

      Nothin' much has changed, huh? Other than now too many people can go from one crummy job to the next and scrape by to feed their families.

    So her ancestor was a convict. The Australians would consider that as a badge of honor now.

    It's interesting that his 14 year sentece was commuted, and to add to that, given land to boot. Kind of odd in my opinion.
