Biographies
Joseph Bennett was given a Life Sentence and transported to New South Wales as a convict on the "Elizabeth" in 1820. He was a Protestant and in 1828 was a Ticket of Leave man who lived in Parramatta at 20 George Street, where he was a shopkeeper. Then he owned 4 head of cattle. He married Ann Hanlin who was born in the colony in 1805. At the time of the 1828 Census, there were 3 lodgers living at the home of Bennett, namely his father-in-law, John Hanlon, (60), John Morton (30), freed by servitude who was a bargeman, and John Brady a carpenter, who was also free by servitude. These former convicts had come to the colony in 1800, 1820 and 1819 respectively.
In 1840, he fathered a child to a mother named Nancy, who is believed to have been an aboriginal woman of the Dharug people. The child, William, was raised by Joseph and Ann. After Joseph died, Ann married William Monks, and the boy, William changed his name to William Monks.
