The Bushranger Connection
It is well documented that the sons of John Garbutt - James and John Charles Garbutt, were both characters of ill repute, who took part in criminal activities with, and without, Frederick Ward (AKA notorious bushranger Captain Thunderbolt). Fred Ward was their uncle, being the brother of their mother, Sarah Ann Ward. Their offences included everything from petty theft and receiving stolen goods to cattle and horse stealing to indecent assault (James), even murder (John).
(Some sources claim that Sarah was actually Frederick Ward's mother, making John Charles and James half brothers of Frederick)
