Broad Arrow from Uncouth by BOUDICCA

Catherine/Mary was transported to the colony of New South Wales in 1791 on The Queen. Tried in Dublin, but originally from County Laois, Ireland. Mary is believed to have been involved in early actions of the United Irishmen, and her transportation (along with her child) is believed to be entirely politically motivated, no details of crimes committed were recorded. In 1792, Mary attempted to escape Rose Hill whist heavily pregnant along with 20 men in favour of China, which was rumoured to be a few day's walk north of Sydney. This is most likely the cover story that was provided as the convicts tried to procure boats and flee.
Mary was arrested in 1806 for murder following the death of her husband, but was released due to lack of evidence. In 1818, Mary was murdered by her son-in-law due to her response to his ongoing abuse against her daughter, Ruth. Legal action failed to keep him away from her daughter and protect her from his brutality. After an argument, her son-in-law shattered her skull with the branch of a tree, killing her. By a jury in Sydney, Richard Hayman was acquitted of her murder, despite the testimonies of many witnesses. Catherine/Mary is the ancestor of songwriter/Boudicca vocalist, Madeleine.
