Signed by all parties and with the original seal.Richard Hayman (1771 - 1826), one of 404 convicts transported aboard the Pitt, arrived in New South Wales in February 1792. He had been found guilty of stealing a watch and was sentenced at the Old Bailey to seven years transportation. He did not return to England and around 1811 was granted some land at Windsor. He was married to Ruth Yardley in September 1813 at St.Matthews Church at Windsor but shortly afterwards he was charged and fined for a breach of the Peace, often a euphemism for violence against a wife.
