Immigration	July 17, 1791 (aged 24 years) Source: Email - Starr, Marion - March 2009 Text: Reuben was a convict. His was tried at Lewes Quarter Sessions, Sussex at age 26 for 'false pretences' and sentenced to be transported for 7 years (East Sussex Record Office; Session Roll QR/647; May 1791). He and his wife Elizabeth, who came free, departed Yarmouth England on the ship Pitt on 17 Jul 1791. The ship arrived in the colony on 14 Feb 1792. Reuben died during the voyage and Elizabeth, aged 17, formed a relationship with a soldier on the ship, Richard Tuckwell of the New South Wales Corps. Source: Email message Citation details: Woolley, Bev. 'Elizabeth Budden/Reuben Buckner", email message to Marion Purnell Mar 4 2012 Text: Rueben Buckner appears under the name of Thomas Williams, on 17th March 1791 at the Quarter Sessions in Lewes, East Sussex, where he is found guilty of fraud, false pretences and theft. The items he was found guilty of stealing, or obtaining by fraud, (he claimed to be a merchant,) included books, linen, china, glassware and pictures, suggest that he was trying to set up house! At the Easter Session of the Lewes Court, May 1791, he is convicted and sentenced to Transportation for Seven Years. He was subsequently transferred to the convict transport “Pitt”
Death	after July 17, 1791 (aged 24 years) The high Seas Source: Email - Starr, Marion - March 2009 Text: Reuben died probably during the voyage of the ship 'Pitt' from England to the colony or shortly after it arrived in the colony on 14 Feb 1792. The journal of George Thompson, who sailed in the Royal Admiral, May 1792 records that of the 450 that came from England in the Pitt only twenty nine were alive six weeks since at a general muster. Reuben Buckner does not appear in the return of those Convicts who have died or run from the 'Pitt', but this return lists only those who either escaped or died whilst attempting to escape. No mention of Reuben Buckner in New South Wales appears on musters or other documents and one can assume, because of the high death toll amongst convicts on the Pitt that Reuben Buckner died on the voyage or soon after landing in 1792.
