Hello, Michelle. Thank you for your post. Although I have seen Thomas Johns' grave in the St Luke's Anglican Church cemetery, Campbelltown, and there is indication there was a distinct rift in his family, getting to the nub of him was/is very difficult, with records of import non existent, it would seem. Jumping ship was not an unknown practice, and I suppose this isolated little island was ideal for such a feat. I feel sure I have heard about a tenuous Russian connection, beit a freighter - or by imaginings of aristocratic connections (folk lore, I'm guessing). Rose
