     Convict James William Keating was born in 1753 at England. He was convicted on 30 October 1802 at Dublin, Ireland,
The following reproduced from the book: “The Brave Old Pioneers”. “A history of the Hodgetts Family in Australia”, with kind permission from the author Richard John Hodgetts.
James William Keating was tried in Dublin and sentenced to life. He was transported on the ship "Atlas" which arrived in Sydney on 30 October 1802. (James’s wife, Ann Middlebrooke), was also a convict.
By 1805 James and Ann were living in a small cottage at York Cove, Van Dieman’s Land. James was the settlements cooper.
On 18 January 1805 James was involved in a theft from the Government stores. Considered a serious and capital offence, and there being no court system in Van Diemen’s Land at that time, James was unable to be tried at York Town. With three other offenders (soldiers) he was sent to Sydney for trial. The trial by the Judge Advocate took place in Sydney on 1 February 1806 and included the three soldiers, now prisoners, Thomas Baker, John Roberts, Thomas England as well as James Keating. From the testimonial of various witnesses it was alleged that on January 18th 1805, sometime between , five and seven thirty in the evening, James Keating the Cooper was asked to secure the tops of two casks of pork situated in the stores which were not sufficiently secured to the satisfaction of the Sergeant of the Guard. Later, at about eight thirty, Keating was seen in the store by John Harris, a servant of the Deputy Commissioner of Yorktown, taking at pieces of pork from the cast and placing them in a sugar bag that he gave John Roberts who proceeded to walk past the sentry Thomas England and go to Keating’s house where he threw the bag onto the kitchen for.
Harris challenged Roberts at Keating's house and proceeded to find and inform the authorities. Robert’s, quick to get rid of the pork asked Thomas Baker to take the bag to Thomas England the stores sentry, indicating that he had been in on it by turning a blind eye. A little while later however the guard was turned out and Baker was apprehended with 35 pounds of pork in a sack of which Baker now stated he was taking to the Governors kitchen after finding it. He later admitted that the prisoner Roberts had told him where to find it and take to the Governors kitchen but he was unaware of what was in the sack. The offence, although appearing trivial and opportunistic, was considered most serious due to the extreme threat of starvation in the colony and the authorities run it too willing to make examples of offenders. In their defence Keating in England denied knowledge of crime, while Baker maintained that he did not know what was in the bag that he had been asked by Roberts to deliver to the Governors kitchen. All were convicted and Keating and one of the soldiers, Thomas England, were sentenced to death and the other two received seven and fourteen year sentences. The Judge Advocate, Richard Atkins unsympathetically remarked that the crime was most heinous and inexcusable.
Keating was taken on board the ship “Estremina” and first stopped off at Port Dalrymple, where Keating escaped into the bush but was captured three days later in his wife's cottage. England was hanged, the first man never to be hanged in Tasmania, Keating was to be the second. “Estremina” arrived in Hobart on Thursday, April 10, and Keating was landed next morning and lodged under guard in a private house. The Government was very keen to set an example of the convict Keating and any soldiers for that matter and is ordered that he be publicly hanged before all convicts and soldiers. The Rev Bobby Knopwood was assigned to attend him and recorded in his journal that he “attended James Keating all the day to near 11 PM”. On Monday the 14th Rev Lockwood again recorded the following. “At daylight went to see the said James Keating and continued with him till 8.30. I went to him again and administer the Sacrament and continued with him. We went together to the place of execution; he prayed fervently and was truly prepared to meet his unhappy fate. At 10 he was numbered with the dead”. He arrived 30 October 1802 in Port Jackson, New South Wales, Australia from England on the convict transport ship 'Atlas'. He married Convict Ann Middlebrooke circa 1803. Convict James William Keating died in 1806 at Hobart, Van Diemen's Land, Australia.
