Elizabeth Sully/Sulley was found guilty on 7 May 1788 at the Old Bailey, London, of receiving a stolen watch. She arrived in Sydney aboard the Lady Juliana as part of the Second Fleet. She married Curtis Brand on 20 November 1791 at Parramatta; there are no recorded children of the marriage.

Curtis Brand died in 1800 leaving his farm to a blind child named Joseph Love, and a house and garden at the Rocks and a flock of sheep to two male friends. He left his wife a shilling which suggests their marriage may have broken down. Elizabeth Brand has not been located in later records.
