Mary Cusley (1756–1834)
Mary Chadderton née Moreton was sentenced to seven years transportation for burglary. Her prison record gave her age as 29 and her place of birth as Coventry, Warwickshire. She married William Adams in Sydney in 1791. Following his death, she married William Baker in 1814 and, after Baker's death, married Benjamin Cusley in 1824. The couple were living at Wilberforce in 1828.
