Robert Moxon was convicted at Nottingham Town Assizes of shop robbery on 11th January 1821 and transported for seven years. This was his second conviction.
He arrived on the convict ship Adamant on 8th September 1821, and worked for GLM Hawkins in Bathurst. In April 1824 he was listed as returned to Government and assigned to settles in the district of Appin (south west of Sydney).
He received his certificate of freedom on 28th January 1828 and worked as a butcher.
The Moxon name originated in Yorkshire where it continues to have the greatest presence. However, there are now Moxons all over Australia and New Zealand. Moxons Down Under is an informal network within The Moxon Society which is incorporated in the UK. The Society has annual gatherings in England. We'd like to do so in Australia sometime soon. Each Moxon early settler is described separately. Check the topics or search for a name.
