Hi Fay,
According to "The Women of Botany Bay", Portia Robinson, pub Penguin
Books, 1988, 1993, Elizabeth Jones of the "Neptune" was hanged in Sydney
(1799/1800) as an accomplice to the murder of Samuel Clode, a
Missionary. There is quite a bit on her on pp198, and ref to
correspondence & court proceedings on pp348/349. She was married to
Thomas Jones and settled at the Eastern Farms when they received a
parcel of land in 1794, they had 2 colonial born daughters with them at
the time. There are several other references to (presumably other)
Elizabeth Jones's throughout the book, but I can't see a reference to
the ship on which they arrived. This may help you eliminate or confirm
the "Neptune" Elizabeth.
Regards Chris
