NOTES

There is some suggestion that the father of Sarah's children was James Lee, Marine "Scarborough" 1788 rather than George Lee, Convict "Admiral Barrington" 1791 but there is substantial evidence that James was never on Norfolk Island and that he was alive after Sarah's partner/husband drowned on Norfolk Island in 1795
