Thomas and Hannah had a son born earlier, William born 1745 who was baptized 17 Nov 1745 but he died and was buried on 13 April 1746 at Mollington. William born 1748 was named for him. William was convicted at Kent of stealing a bay horse from John Winder and instead of being sentenced to death for what would have been a capital crime, a petition on his behalf dated 14 April 1790 gave him clemency conditioned upon being transported for 7 years. He was transported on the William and Ann with 188 convicts to Port Jackson (and ultimately Norfolk Island) departing Plymouth 24 March 1791 an anchoring at Port Jackson's Sydney Cove on 28 August 1791.
