About Emma Linton Cowen

2002 Administrative Appeals Tribunal -
"It has now been established that Sarah Challis (Linton/Mace) was a convict.
She was not aboriginal or part aboriginal. However, as will appear, the discovery of
that fact did not alter the long history of belief in aboriginal descent in many persons
who could trace their ancestry to the person known as Emma Challis Linton. Nor did it
alter the fact, which will also appear, that photographs of persons in the line show the
presence of dark skin colour and other aboriginal features. The applicants now suggest
that the person known as Emma Challis Linton was not the natural daughter of William
and Sarah Challis but an aborigine adopted by them"

DNA confirmation of connection between descendants of William CHALLIS and Sarah LINTON and descendants of CHALLIS siblings of William CHALLIS and MACE siblings of Sarah LINTON (MACE).

There is conjecture that her mother was an aboriginal woman and she was adopted by William CHALLIS and Sarah LINTON
