Re: PESO - Convict Barracks Ruins
There are some families in SA descended from convicts who managed to escape overboard & swim ashore when the ships passed by. Probably several didn't make it! Nevertheless, those who did could easily evade the overstretched authorities in the wild days of the Cape Colony & enjoy their new found freedom. One Phalaborwa family claim their G-G-Grandfather (O'Connor) found his way to a sheep farm in Dordrecht where he initially worked as a farmhand but eventually married the farmer's daughter.
