Arrival of Singleton FamilyPrint Page

The plaque commemorates the arrival of the Singleton Family in the colony of New South Wales. The plaque was unveiled on the 200th anniversary. 

William Singleton was sentenced to seven years transportation for stealing twenty-seven yards of calico, valued at twenty-seven shilling. He arrived in Sydney in 1792, with his wife and two of his children, aboard the Pitt. His occupation was given as warehouse porter. William was assigned as a servant to his wife and was granted an absolute pardon in 1795. By 1797 the family was living on a 70-acre farm at Mulgrave Place.
