Note According to Tasmania Convict Records (online) (15 Aug 2017), Ian L Gordon proposes that, as "Israel" is an unlikely British name, her name was probably Icheral or Acherill. However, mtDNA (direct female line) from descendants turns up east-European Jewish names, so a Jewish ancestry is likely for Maria. Migration

Maria Israel was a convict on the Second Fleet. Convicted at The Old Bailey, Middlesex Gaol Delivery, on 22 April 1789, for stealing linen. Transported in Lady Juliana to NSW, arriving 3 June 1790 then to Norfolk Island in Surprize arriving 7 August 1790.

Biography
Maria Isreal
Detail provided by Pam Ellis
[Ref: 790t0001]
Second Fleet Convict per Juliana
At the age of 17 years, Maria Israel was arrested in London and indicted for the theft of two pieces of muslin valued at three pounds, from a haberdasher’s shop near Leicester Square on the 6th April 1789.

She appeared before Mr Baron Hotham at the Old Bailey Sessions of 22nd April 1789.She had no defence counsel at her trial but she sharply questioned the prosecutor in the witness box, attempting to discredit his evidence. She claimed she had paid for her goods and, as she was leaving the shop, the shopman came out with some muslin in his hand, and accusing her of stealing it. In spite of this, she was found guilty of stealing and sentenced to seven years transportation.

On 7th May, barely two weeks after her conviction, she was embarked on the Lady Juliana, which was moored in the Thames, London. She remained on board for nearly three months prior to departure to Australia, sailing from Plymouth on 29th July 1789.

Soon after her arrival at Botany Bay, Maria was among 194 convicts sent to Norfolk Island aboard the Surprize arriving on 7 August 1790, along with her future partner, Thomas Chaffey (b. 1762, tried Old Bailey per Scarborough).

In August 1791 she was issued with a pig in her own right. At about the same time she was living with Thomas Chaffey on a farm at Cascade (Phillipburgh). (For further information see biography of Thomas Chaffey).

Maria Israel died on 19 October 1849 at Hobart, age given as 88, only 17 days after her husband’s death. The Chaffey family are buried in St David’s Cemetery, Hobart.
