She was sentenced for several years transportation and was one of the longest living first fleeters.[1][2] Early lifeBellamy was born in 1770 to Richard and Elizabeth Bellamy and before she was convicted, she was unemployed. Crime and sentencingShe was convicted on the 9 July 1785 for robbing twenty-four silk handkerchiefs and one wallet which may have contained 630 shillings.
