John and Ann had the following children:
14 M i Capt Somerville Colin-31 was born in 1718 in Scotland. He was christened in Scotland. He died in Jun 1771 in Scotland,at sea,North America.
Capt Colin S was dead by June 1771. Son of John Somerville, a Commissioner of General Assembly in Scotland. (Notes of WDC) James Somerville was an uncle of this young Colin. One William Somerville was a provost of Beufrew. This man a nephew of DC the hulks overseer and at sea had a convict woman a lover whom he carried back and forth across the Atlantic.
Below is e-mail of early Feb 2003 from Vicky Drake in US - Mr. Byrnes, I have just finished reading your on-line publication above. Thank you so much for sharing it in this manner. My American immigrant ancestor was a convict transported by Colin Somerville on the Justitia for the JS&C company in 1769. Two of us who descend from this original ancestor have spent the last several years researching several branches of his American family (one that's now about ready for publication) but we really haven't delved much into the workings of the convict transportation. Your work has given me great insight into the process. Like many of the others who have written you I can't just leave it at the above. I too have something to ask for. Might I, with appropriate acknowledgements, extract a paragraph or two from your work to include in our upcoming family history publication so that our convict ancestor's family might have a better understanding of the history behind our ancestors transportation? Vicky Drake dvicky@primenet.com <mailto:dvicky@primenet.com> I've learned a long time ago that the more I understand about the things that happened to my ancestors the better I can understand what they did and why. I've also found that looking into the history of things gives me clues about questions I have and where to follow up. Please feel free to use any of my e-mails. I have an issue with my convict ancestor that you might be able to help me with - not in terms of any research but I suspect you have knowledge of where I might hunt for what I'm looking for. My immigrant ancestor, Benjamin Housden, was baptized at St. Mary's Church in Lambeth, Surrey County. At the age of 15 he was apprenticed as a waterman. I think the waterman's records suggest that there was another Housden watermana little earlier in history although I don't think he was a close relative. According to research I have done on watermen they were trained (and regulated) to transport people across the Thames in small boats, sort of water cabs of the day. The watermen were subject to impression into the Royal Navy at any time, although apparently they were spared impression into land troops. Most usually it was the apprentices that were impressed. At some time, not too long before Benjamin became a waterman apprentice, legislation was enacted that required all watermen to spend two years of their apprenticeship in the service of the Navy. There are no records on the American side of the transport about who purchased an individual or what happened to them. In the colonies, the convicts were purchased at public auction, most commonly by large plantation owners who were often slave holders as well. It is understood that often the convicts were relegated the worse tasks as they were considered expendable and not actually a part of the holder's net worth (as opposed to the black slaves of the day who were counted among the cattle and sheep as belongings). Apparently both the convict and the bond purchaser were given papers explaining the conditions of the bondage (not that I can believe that a convict was ever able to approach authorities if they were taken advantage of). If a convict escaped there were notices published in the newspaper usually offering rewards - however, if you don't know where the convict was taken after his bond was purchased you have no idea where to start looking for runaway notices. I understand from additional research that Colin Somerville, the captain of the Justitia at the time of my ancestor's transport was something of a scallywag (and I don't think that's at all close to the appropriate description). A. He transported convicts, B. He was involved in an insurance fraud and C. He kept on board the Justitia a female prisoner named Ann-Nancy Dixon aka Nancy Smith from Surrey England. She traveled back and forth between the colonies and England with him from his first trip until his death aboard the Justitia in 1771, which it seems was a big NO-NO. He left her £500 and his personal effects in his will which also caused a big stink. My Benjamin is nowhere to be found between his transportation December 1769 and when he shows up in central Virginia in 1773 (this would be before the expiration of his 7 years of service). He is apparently married to a Nancy who mothers all his children. We have never been successful in determining who she was. There may never have been an actual marriage or we may just have not hunted in the right places and as was common in the more frontier areas of the colonies marriages may have been performed by clergy who traveled, sometimes for a year or more at a time on horseback in the wilderness, ministering to those they encountered. When they returned to their home parish they recorded the marriages they performed (if they remembered, if they survived to return home, if they could read their records) and the minister's state of residence might not have even been the state where the couple was residing at the time of the marriage ceremony. Now, having given you this much background I'm getting closer to my question. I have a good imagination and have conjured up several theories about my Benjamin. (1) Since Colin had no qualms about returning convicts to England and since Benjamin had navigational skills, I wonder if he chose to keep Benjamin on the Justitia as part of the crew rather than turning him over to Mr. Hodges for sale at Leedstown Virginia with the rest of his convict cargo. (2) Could Benjamin's wife Nancy be Colin's consort Anna Nancy Dixon/Smith? (3) Could Colin have married them on board when it became clear that he was going to die (remember he had enough warning that he wrote a will). (4) Could Nancy have purchased Benjamin's freedom with some of the money she inherited from Colin? My questions: What kind of records were kept aboard the prison ships (ie ships logs) and where are they kept today? Benjamin had 9 children that lived to adulthood. I manage a Housden surname e-mail group on Rootsweb and we have descendents of five of them. Two of the missing children were women who never married and when they procreated their lines died out fairly early. The other missing two are women who married and seemingly fell off the face of the earth or were picked up by alien space ships. I personally have researched all five of the known families and can tell you they are an interesting group. Understanding that we are a single family and our experiences might not be the norm, I would be more than happy to share anything I know about these families if it would help your research and fill in any holes you might have. Vicky Drake /// email before 18-2-2003 - It turns out that I do have a copy of the will of Colin Somerville.Alexander Tait his first mate who was also one of the witnesses to Colin's will and during his deposition he stated: that this Deponent never heard NANCY SMITH make use of any threats or persuasion to induce the said SOMERIVILLE to make such Last Will... that at several times the during the said SOMERVILLES sickness this deponent asked him if he had any word to his Relations, Father or Brother James, he replied no that his Brother James was by that time Lieutenant of a Man of War and provided for and his Father an old man who drank hard and would not live long and also being about his Sister he said she was married to one Mr. Patterson who was well provided for in the Custom in Newport Glasgow. Neither James or a sister married to a Patterson are on the Somerville genealogy you sent me, any thoughts/ideas? This is more out of curiosity rather than an attempt to put the Somerville family together. Vicky15 F ii Somerville Ann-433 was born in Argyllshire,Scotland.

code gaps4 gaps5 ux41 ux42 ux50 for more From this man are descended the Nobles of Ardkinglass, according to Duncan Beaton. Genealogy of WDC. Update from Diarmid Campbell, Denver US. Cf., Sir Andrew (Paddy) Noble, Noble of Ardmore and Ardkinglas. Second Ed., 1971., p. 88. George Maxwell Noble, born 14 Aug 1745 and baptised at Cardross, died at Morant Bay, Jamaica, 26 March, 1791, and death date confirmed. A merchant and shipmaster trading Greenock and Jamaica with some of his wife's relatives, who had a property at Green Island Jamaica, not far from Montego Bay. Plus another property or office at Savannah-la-Mar. Documents in the Noble archives show that another group was headed by Archibald Lundie, William Mitchell and James Donald who set up a partnership at Augustine, East Florida, on 31 Oct 1776 to engage in general trade. Their aim seems to have been Missisippi, but they traded as far afield as New York and Nova Scotia. Francis Somerville from Green Island visited Philadelphia and New York in 1779 and 1780 where he met one John Quelch of Philadelphia and Archibald Campbell of New York, but there is no evidence for this. There is evidence that Somerville and Noble engaged in the slave trade as is shown by this letter from Alexander Brown to Duncan Campbell, uncle of Agnes Somerville the wife of George Noble (which is not given), but it is evident the first venture in slave trading miscarried. On 18 Sept 1776 George Noble married Agnes Somerville, at Renfrew, lawful daughter of John Somerville deceased and one of the magistrates of Renfrew. This Duncan C mentioned here is of the Glenaray family. George Noble apparently died 1798, see p. 93.22 M ix Somerville Alexander-10949.

Burke's Landed Gentry for Betham. This birth date per Borthwick. She is never mentioned in the Letterbooks of her brother Duncan in London. Various birth dates, for the sister Mary, Molly, Matty of DC later the wife of Richard Betham and mother of Elizabeth the wife of William Bligh. This is the daughter of Principal Neil. See George Mackaness, Life of Vice-Admiral William Bligh. Sydney. Angus and Robertson. 1931. Also, Gavin Kennedy, Bligh. London. Duckworth. 1978. Mary Campbell became the wife of Richard Betham formerly of Glasgow, receiver-general of Isle of Man, that is, suppressor of smuggling on the Isle of Man from 1765 when the British Govt purchased the island from the Duke of Atholl its hereditary owner. Oddly enough, printed material on Betham's efforts in suppressing smuggling on the Isle of Man is almost impossible to find, certainly in Australia. The Manx Museum advises there is no printed material on Betham apart from what is already extant in books on William Bligh (and that material often blurs the actual family history). Betham a judge of the vice-admiralty court. Mary the mother of Elizabeth the wife of William Bligh.

Pieter Dickson suggests Captain Ratcliffe of ship Britannia was buried in Hanover, Jamaica, 1776. Cozens says, check re St Vincent, http://sv.usaroots.com/oldnews.htm - Dear Chris Knight, eml of 26-1-2006 (He replied ok the same day of his time) This is not a complaint, more a request. I have just been netusrfing and lit on your website, which is quite good, more than by the way, and I notice (of course), that you seem to have raided my own information on the family history of Duncan Campbell (1726-1803), the Overseer of the Thames Prison Hulks, and also "uncle-in-law" of William Bligh of Bounty etc.
I see you have in fact noted (quite properly) that I wrote various text you reproduce, but I really would like far more acknowledgement of the fact I wrote that text, and if you don't provide such acknowldgement at least via a hyperlink to my "Blackheath Connection" website, then I will lodge on that website, a formal complaint that you have not done so.
However, you do appear to have done some backchecking on the Campbell genealogy in question, which only a few days ago I was able to slightly enlarge due to some info in the files on Campbells at www.stirnet.com/ Your backchecking info seems ok, no complaints there re the info.
But I had better tell you where I got my original information on this Campbell genealogy, because not only have you lifted my genealogical material here, (that's ok, I lift other people's stuff, but with acknowledgement) - you have not given the original citations for the genealogical material.
Which are - correspondence various I have long had with Clan Campbell HQ in Scotland, who put me onto noted Campbell/Argyllshire genealogist, Marion Campbell of Kilberry, now deceased, who kindly sent me five or six sheaves of handwritten papers on the genealogy.
All Marion's info supplemented my earlier source, which was material still lodged with the Mitchell Library Sydney (which also might be interested if you have breached their copyright - as I have not), in the form of a set of papers by one William Dugald Campbell, a descendant in Australia of the hulks overseer, a civil and mining engineer here, whom I abbreviate in my writings as "WDC". WDC from Australia made one if not more voyages back to England -SCotland in pursuit of his family history, some of which he got wrong, or otherwise incorrect. But what I have done is based on WDC's original information - which I of course got after negotiations with Mitchell Library, Sydney.
You may also wish to be advised, re your article there on Bligh, which I have deliberately not read, that I have a long-term literary intention of trying to destroy the legend the Bligh and the Bounty, of which you might care to remain aware. If you wish to use my text, and my transcriptions from the Letterbooks of Duncan Campbell, as you have, without sufficient acknowledgement, then you will soon make a literary enemy, and you will maybe inadvertantly have entered a history-writing hornet's nest.
That is, if you continue to use my material, without proper attributions, then I will draw attention to this situation on my own websites, and you can then do what you wish.
You and I both know how easy it can be to (a) lift other people's material from the Net, and (b) change text material on a website.
That's enough for now. Except, be advised that the very phrase, "The Blackheath Connection", and as is a matter of traceable record, in print-published media, derives from conversations between myself and Neil Rhind, local historian of Blackheath, London, in mid-1989, and all references to that material, including my transcriptions from the Duncan Camnpbell Letterbooks, are ultimately traceable to those conversations between Neil Rhind and I.
I have had materials of, and about, The Blackheath Connection on the Net since March 2000. You seem to be the first person to have abused the conventions of referring to the info. I realise the Net is a new medium, and that conventions of referring to other people's materials are still fluid, but I feel you have gone beyond the pale with lifting various of the text(s) that I have produced.
Please feel free to get back to me on any points you wish to discuss - but I will keep a watch on the situation and will have to ascertain how I feel about it for the future.
Yours sincerely, Dan Byrnes, Australia, http://www.danbyrnes.com.au/blackheath/

Mrs Bell is from an NZ family related to Campbells who seem to be related to DC's line. There are some London addresses of today of relevance, plus some NZ history and archives of which Mrs Bell is aware. Mrs Bell has an article on some of her forebears in the above issue of Cruachan, whilst I have an article on conundrums in history associated with Duncan Campbell and various topics. Mrs Bell's genealogical information will be further explored. Cf., Mrs Zena Bamping, "Cimarron", Hollywood Lane, Kingsdown, Sevenoaks, West Kingsdown, Kent TN15 6JG, England, mentions it might be a coincidence re DC's hulks capt, Capt James Hill, but Mumfords bought their house at Sutton-at-Hone from a William Hill in 1780, whose family had owned that estate for 120 years, see Archaeologia Cantiana XXIV, 1900, Kent., pp. 227-236. Bamping conveys information from a letter from the National Library of Jamiaca re Saltspring and its later owners, entries from the Campbell family bible which has been given to the Bromley Library, Inscriptions from the Mumford/ Campbell obelisk in Sutton-at-Hone Churchyard, and a family tree of Campbells of Kingsdown, Kent. On Scots-American Links see W. Brock, Scotus Americanus, Links Between Scotland and American in the 18th Century. Duncan Campbell was the overseer of the Thames River Prison Hulks between 1776-1801. The hulks to their abolition will by January 1994 be the subject of a new book by criminologist Charles Campbell of Juneau, Alaska. Duncan Campbell was also a West Indies merchant (not apparently an active member of the London Committee of West India merchants and traders as chaired by Lord Penrhyn from 1787 - the records of that group are at the research institute for Commonwealth Studies, Russell Square, London). Campbell was also a noted London tobacco trader, at least till the outbreak of the American Revolution. He had up to eighteen children, it is thought. It is to be noted that Campbell from 1753 dealt much with his Campbell relatives of western and south-western Jamaica, but little is known of them (and they ought to be studied). Some of these Jamaican relatives are thought to be "the first Campbells on Jamaica" and John Campbell of Black River arrived on Jamaica after military duty with one disastrous expedition of the Darien Company before 1700 (See Feurtado's readings of Jamaican headstones, etc). Dr Lorne Campbell genealogist of London says the Parish Records of Jamaica are available at the Mormon Church family history centre in London.
