side of the harbour opposite Sydney Cove. Samuel and his wife arrived in the colony in 1803 aboard the Calcutta. He went to Van Diemens Land in 1804. In April 1810, Lightfoot is recorded as an overseer in Hobart. He died there on 17 May 1818. John Limeburner Limeburner was convicted at Salisbury for stealing a waistcoat, linen shirt and stockings (20s). Originally sentenced to death, Limeburner's sentence was commuted to seven years transportation. A report from the Dunkirk hulk described John as "tolerably decent and orderly." Limeburner married Elizabeth Ireland in September 1790 at Rosehill. Limeburner died at Ashfield on 2 September 1847, aged 104. He was the oldest colonist and last first fleeter in Sydney. Thomas Limpus Limpus was previously convicted in 1777 of the theft of a handkerchief and sentenced to 3 years hard labour. Due to the rebellion of the American colonies, the British government were unable to find a place beyond the seas to send convicts sentenced to transportation, so Limpus was returned to dry land by 1780. On 8 October 1782, Limpus was before William Mainwairing to 7 years transportation to Africa for theft of a cambrick handkerchief (10d). Limpus was transported on the Benkiasa and was landed at the island of Gorée on the west coast of Africa on 3 December 1782. Many convicts died in Africa, and those who survived proved too unruly for soldiery and managing the region. Subsequently, transportation to Africa became seen as little more than tantamount to a death sentence. Limpus escaped on a British ship and returned to England in 1783. Limpus was recaptured in London in October 1783. He was convicted for returning from transportation. Limpus was found guilty of returning from transportation at his trial and sentenced to death, but was later commuted to transportation for life in America. Limpus’ second transportation was bound for Nova Scotia. He was involved in the ‘’Mercury Mutiny’’ in April 1784 and returned to England. Limpus was recaptured in Devon, his trial for returning from transportation sentenced him to death once again but this was commuted to transportation for life. Whilst held in the Dunkirk prison hulk, he was described as a "quiet prisoner." Limpus was sent to Norfolk Island in March 1790. In September 1796, he received a conditional pardon. He died in 1801.
