Thomas Barnatt (c. 1760–?)

Thomas Barnatt was an able seaman aboard the Supply which arrived in Sydney in January 1788 as part of the First Fleet. At Batavia on 12 August 1790 he was discharged to sick quarters. He does not appear to have continued with the ship. He either died at Batavia or recovered and returned to England with a later ship.
