In February 1830 he was living in Herts, where with his eldest brother Thomas and John Llywellyn, they broke into the house of John Carswell and stole a timepiece and two spoons. John was sent to Guildford for trial and sentenced to life transportation for burglary. He sailed on the John on 9/10/1830, landing in Van Diemen's Land on 28/1/1831. His indent says he was 23, could read and write and was a plasterer by trade. John's conduct record shows he was regularly in trouble and often lashed for it. He received a conditional pardon in 1845.

In 1853 John married Honora Kennigan. They had four children, three of who survived to adulthood.
