During April 2020 the month of this #AtoZChallenge I will be sharing short posts on some of the 2,000+ descendants I have identified of my 3x Great-Grandmother, Elizabeth Phipps. Elizabeth Phipps 1785-1869 was a convict who was transported from England to New South Wales in 1814 per Wanstead.
Sophia Westbrook, a daughter of James Westbrook and Elizabeth Phipps. married William Sly a convict who had arrived on the “Moffatt”, in Richmond in 1844,
Sophia had been adopted by the Seymours, childless owners of The Black Horse Inn, who left her the property. Elizabeth and William operated the Inn for many years until Sophia's death when their son William took up the licence.
