He left his wife and daughter (Eleanor ) behind in England. Once he was pardoned his father in law brought his wife and the 12 year old Eleanor out to Australia. Thomas then had a second daughter Emma who was possibly the first white child born in Tasmania. Eleanor went on to marry Sir Robert Murray.
