Text: The year after he arrived in the colony he was working at his trade at Pennant Hills, where he was listed as James Holloway. At the end of January 1822 he was working for Daniel Matthew who paid the government for his services. He was then transferred to Emu Plains as a sawyer. When his sawing mate received his freedom, Holloway was transferred into a regular gang, from which he ran away. He was punished by being sent to work on the treadmill in Sydney. His case came to the attention of Thomas Hyndes, who petitioned the Colonial Secretary, pointing out that Holloway was of sober and industrious character, and requested that Holloway be assigned to him. Hyndes would support Holloway at his own cost and pay the government the usual 3/6 per week for Holloway's skill as a pit sawyer. |

Cause of death: Enteritis Text: In December 1835 he was arrested and tried for aiding and assisting in highway robbery. His wife said that he was a kind-hearted man who merely gave the bushrangers food. He was placed aboard the ship 'Carnarvon' in Jul 1836 and sent to Norfolk Island where de died of enteritis on 11 Feb 1838 at the age of 42. According to the family, he died in an accident in the carpenter's shop. Before she died, his wife Mary wrote a story of the early days in Pennant Hills, where she lived during her first marriage in a bark hut in the bush. 'Bushrangers infested the district' she said ' and especially do I remember Butler. He was the son of a gentleman in England, and was a harmless enough fellow whose worst fault was that he would not work, and as everybody had to battle for a living, he could not be kept in idleness, so took to the bush. There was a heavy penalty upon giving an outlaw food, and my first husband was a kind man, who could not bear to know anyone was hungry. Someone informed, and he was arrested for harbouring bushrangers. I never saw him again, as he died in prison. They were cruel times. I was left to struggle with three little daughters, and nothing but a shilling and some tea in the house'. |
