Biography[]

Early Life[]

On 19 March 1784, at Thetford, Norfolk, Susannah was tried for burglary. She was sentenced to transportation for 14 years, and left England on the Friendship aged about 22 at that time (May 1787). She arrived with the First Fleet on 26 January 1788. Henry Kable married Susannah on 10 February 1788, in a group marriage of three (or possibly five) couples, the first weddings in the colony. They had met in gaol and she had given birth to his child, Henry, in gaol in 1786.
