So I'm guessing his wife had kids before she became a murderer. I'm not sure if it goes for all the convicts but in the first fleet anyway there were no, murderers or rapists. The British prefered to hang them and then cut them up or something.
As far as I know there are no convicts in my family, my Nana said there aren't (her mother traced my family way back to England and Scottland) and apparently they were all settlers but then again she could be covering something up. I don't think my dads family are either, I'm pretty sure they were only German emigrants. Talk about family history, you now know mine.
I'm pretty sure an ornamental shrub is any plant in a rich mans garden. They were apparently going to pass a law making it illegal to deface any plant owned by someone else but changed there mind because then they would have to "hang 10 year old boys for stealling apples from orchards". That wouldn't look too good.

yeah, the fatal shore was interesting...but everyone should check out "the Monkey Wrench gang" by Edward Abbey...a great book about crazy environmental activists who go across the American West and destroy every tractor, dam, and piece of machinery that gets in their way...I recommend it!
