8. Hugh Sholto Douglas was born about 1794; and died. Notes:
Convited at the Inverness Court of Justiciary in 1833 and sentenced to be transported (on the Hive) for 7 years.
Possibly originally from Lanark or Glasgow.
Possibly had a brother, William
He fell on hard times or else he was up to no good already, and his wife Euphemia separated from him, He went to his relatives on the Isle of Skye by walking/getting lifts from passing carts. He was arrested there for stealing a blanket of the community line and a spoon from a farmhouse, He had been to visit a relative earlier that day so something musn't have worked in his favour. He was found in the home of a Shepherd. I like to think he just borrowed the blanket for warmth and the spoon for his porridge, After he was arrested the family tried to help him escape, and he was violent to the guards even though he was 4 feet 9 inches tall according to his ticket of leave papers. 7 years in Australia (it must have been horrendous) I would like to know what happened to Euphemia back in Glasgow she had been left to raise her children alone. Hugh was able to read and write. and was classed as a household servant on the convict log.Hugh married Ann or Euphemia before 1833. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
