Hi Shirl,
Thank you for the corrections. I'm waiting to see if there are other
corrections,
but will get it updated by this coming weekend.

Hallo all,
I think I have talked on this list before, but it must have been some time
ago, and I may have new knowledge since then.
My great x 3 grandmother Mary Christmas was one of the founding
women/mothers of Australia.
I do not know much about her beginnings except that her mother was Sarah
Christmas (also written as Chismas) and that her step-father was George
Cowcher and that she was from London, born about 1768.
Mary was tried in London on 24 Oct 1787 for trying to pawn a silver spoon
claiming it was her father's who was a plasterer who lived in Shoe Lane,
London. (This is probably her step-father George Cowcher.) Mary was found
guilty and sentenced to seven years transportation. Mary was held at
Newgate Gaol until 14th March 1789 when she embarked on the "Lady Juliana"
(Second Fleet) convict transport.
The "Lady Juliana" was a Whitby built 410 ton ship. She held her contingent
of 230 women and five children on the Thames, some for up to six months
before leaving Portsmouth on 29th July, 1789. Most of the women on the ship
had been hand picked for various reason, including being good looking, good
seamstresses, good cooks or even just well educated. The voyage lasted for
309 days before arriving on 3rd June, 1790. Five women died on the voyage.
The "Lady Juliana" was the first ship to arrive in New South Wales after
the First Fleet, having made the voyage alone. "Lady Juliana" was known as
a free ship - when she entered a port it was open to all men, which is why
it was known as "The Floating Brothel". The women had no choice.
This is a long story and I will not bore you with it, but just to tell you
that Mary and her second husband Thomas Crowder left Norfolk Island (it was
being closed down because the French were not seen as a threat any longer)
two hundred years ago this year and moved to Tasmania.
Would love to hear from anyone who thinks they may be connected.

Thanks for all your hard work Herbert.
It's always interesting that I usually get an increase in "Christmas" email
right around 'Christmas'!
I'm still interested in the 'genetic' health issues possibly in the Christmas
line.

Herbert;
Thank you so much for keeping up with ALL of this stuff! What an amazing
adventure to read through it all.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the 'Christmas' family! And to some who may read
this - the Christmas family member who, at one time, lived a block from me
in Athens - and I did not know at that time we were related - hope to hear
back.
Best,
Farley Daniel

Minnie Edith Boshears (listed in your Christmas families unable to connect)
was the second wife of Thomas Allen Christmas b. Oct. 28, 1867 d. Nov. 3,
1954. Her parents were William Riley Boshears and Elizabeth Adkins. That is
as far back as I have her but she married into the Christmas family and as
far as I know has no further Christmas ancestors. Her children were
step-sisters and step-brothers to my wife's mother, Dona Jeanette Christmas.
