1. [S2164] Carol Baxter - The History Detective, online http://www.carolbaxter.com/douglas-controversy.html, Thomas Canada Douglas. Hereinafter cited as The History Detective.
   Thomas Douglas of Richmond was a convict who arrived on the Canada in 1801. He does not appear to have married in the colony but lived with another convict Sarah Pearce from around 1804 until her death in 1851. Sarah Pearce was born c1780 and was transported per Nile in 1801. The original thesis included copious details about the family of Thomas “Canada” Douglas and Sarah Pearce, however it is now unnecessary to provide most of this analysis as information has since been found which provides conclusive evidence of a connection between Thomas BC Douglas, Philip Douglas and another sibling, and therefore between Thomas BC Douglas and Thomas Canada Douglas. If more information is required, the original thesis at the Society of Australian Genealogists can be examined. Thomas Canada Douglas and Sarah Pearce settled in the Windsor district c1805 and in Richmond c1815 where they remained until their deaths in the 1850's. Sarah was the mother of twelve children, the first three being born to various men, and the final nine to Thomas Canada Douglas. Details of these children are as follows: 1. John was born in the late 1790's and arrived with his mother per Nile in 1801. He apparently used the surnames Pearce/Pierce and Douglass at will, and in court records and the 1828 Census is recorded as John Pearce alias Douglas. 2. Thomas was born 15 December 1802 to Sarah Pearce and baptised at St Philip’s Sydney on 18 April 1803. The baptism entry recorded his father as Thomas Reynolds, however this man appears to have been a convict who arrived in 1802 aboard the Atlas only two months before the child was born. As Thomas Reynolds could not have conceived the child it appears likely that an unknown man conceived the child and that Sarah Pearce was living with Thomas Reynolds at the time of his birth or baptism. Sarah appears to have had little if anything to do with Thomas Reynolds from 1804 onwards (Thomas Atlas Reynolds lived with Mary Nuttle from around 1805 onwards and named a son born in 1811 Thomas). Evidence will show that Sarah's son Thomas (born 1802) was Thomas BC Douglas. 3. Elizabeth was born on 15 July 1804 in Sydney. Her baptism records that she was the daughter of Reynold and Sarah Douglas however no such couple existed. Elizabeth appears to have been conceived while Sarah Pearce was living with Thomas Reynolds and born while Sarah was living with Thomas Douglas, hence the confusion with names. Elizabeth died on 17 September 1804 as a result of being eaten by a pig and was buried on 18 September 1804. The Sydney Gazette reported her death and in so doing confirms her connection with Sarah Pearce and also confirms the existence of the two older children as it notes that "the mother on returning home with the little creature in her arms, placed it on the bed that she might herself go in search of two other children". [NB. This story has generated the title for the recent publication Pig Eats Baby!] 4. Philip bn c1804-1809 and discussed above. His marriage entry was witnessed by Maria (below). 5. Maria was born between 1805 and 1809 to Thomas Douglas and Sarah Pearce. Her parentage is confirmed by duplicate entries in the 1823/4/5 Muster List. Under the surname Douglas, Maria was recorded as 15 years of age, born in the colony, and the daughter of Thomas Douglas of Richmond. Under Pearce she was recorded as 16 years of age, born in the colony, and the daughter of Sarah Pearce and Thomas Douglas of Richmond; she was also linked with a number of later children. Most of the references for Maria suggest that she was born c1808. 6. Ann born 4 August 1810, baptised Windsor, died 1811. 7. Joseph born 1 April 1812, baptised Windsor. 8. Charlotte born 2 April 1814, baptised Windsor.[9] 9. Sarah born 1 April 1816, Richmond, baptised Richmond 10. Henry born 2 Jly 1819, Richmond; baptised Richmond 11. Isaac born 1 February 1821, Richmond; baptised Richmond 12. William born October l824; died 1825 Richmond Information has been found which provides confirmation of the link between Sarah Pearce's eldest sons, John, Thomas and Philip. On 1 July 1809 the records of the Colonial Secretary include three consecutive entries which record that John Pearse, Thomas Douglas and Philip Douglas received rations from the Hawkesbury stores.[10] They were placed on half-rations (indicating that they were children) by order of the Lt. Governor, presumably as a result of the Hawkesbury floods in June 1809. These three children were undoubtedly Sarah Pearce's three eldest living children; the daughter Maria was probably still being breast-fed at this time, and was therefore not in need of the same quantity of food. It is interesting to note that Sarah's eldest son was listed with the surname Pearse while the other two were named Douglas. These were the surnames they used in later life. These three half-brothers appeared before the courts on a number of occasions in the 1820's charged with a variety of crimes committed in the Richmond/Windsor area. In 1822 the case of "The King vs John Pearce and Philip Douglass Free" recorded that John and Philip were "charged with taking down the fence of William Cox Esq. of Clarendon and turning into his paddock seven head of cattle".[11] John appeared before the courts again in 1826 charged as "John Pearce alias Douglass" although he was described in the proceedings as "Douglass".[12] He was again referred to as “John Pearce alias Douglas” when he was convicted in 1828 and transported to Moreton Bay.[13] John's half-brother Philip was convicted of another crime in 1827 and died while a prisoner in Sydney a short time later.[14] The 1822 Muster also reveals that Thomas BC Douglas was "in gaol for trial" at that time. Court records reveal that Thomas Douglass (free) was committed for trial in August 1822 on the charge of "stealing a cow" in Richmond.[15] Interestingly, the proceedings described him as Thomas Douglass Jnr, which strongly indicates a relationship with Thomas Douglass Snr, that is Thomas Canada Douglas. Furthermore, the apparent link between Thomas BC Douglas and the family of Thomas Canada Douglas and Sarah Pearce is supported by the fact that Thomas gave six of his children names from that family: Thomas, Maria, Phillip, Sarah, Joseph and Charlotte (although admittedly the first and last were also the names of Thomas and his wife Charlotte). The various connections noted in the above records between John Pearce alias Douglas, Thomas BC Douglas, Philip Douglas and Maria Douglas, and the connections recorded between Maria Douglas and the family of Thomas Douglas and Sarah Pearce, combined with the fact that all were living in Richmond throughout this period whereas William Alexander Douglas was living in Sydney, indicate beyond a shadow of doubt that Thomas BC Douglass was a member of the family of Thomas Douglas and Sarah Pearce. Presumably Thomas BC Douglass adopted his stepfather's surname as he was only a toddler when his mother established a relationship with Thomas“Canada”Douglas.
