Description: Patrick McCasker, of Scottish lineage, immigrated before 1820 from Ireland to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. He was a convict on a ship where charges were brought (and later dismissed) against the captain for cruelty to the convicts. Patrick was later shipped to Tasmania, where he married convict Mary (Carr) Hobson in 1827, and settled in the Deloraine municipality of Tasmania. Descendants and relatives lived in Tasmania, Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and elsewhere. Includes family history of ancestry in Scotland to about 1170 A.D.
