Executed at Tybirn for highway robbery. 25 years old at the time of his death. Claimed to have been born to a respectable farming family, but began stealing while still young. Moved to London, apparently to avoid the farming lifestyle, and worked as a cattle-drover for a time, before travelling around fairs and markets with a rigged game of cup-and-ball. Subsequently moved on to career as a highwayman.
