(Oness) arrived on the
Glatton
in 1803 after receiving a life sentence in 1801 in Kent.

of the Glatton on
the 19th March - the Glatton had put into Rio de
Janeiro en route and arrived in Sydney Cove with 263 male
convicts and 130 female convicts, twelve having died on the
way. One hundred scurvy weakened convicts were put on
board the Supply the day before the Glatton arrived
in Sydney Cove. Half of these were sent immediately to the
Sydney Hospital to recover.
Joseph Onus lived in the Windsor district and he and his assigned servants made several
journeys with cattle in the 1820's from Windsor to the farm
of Benjamin Singleton.
Joseph was allowed temporary
occupation of land at Cockfighters Creek to use as a grazing
run in 1825.
He died 22nd June, 1835.
