Whilst researching my family tree I've come across the name John Squance. My family member, Thomas Akers, was sent to Australia for highway robbery on the Kings Highway and his victim was John Squance. My ancestor was 27 y.o. at the time and stole 10 shillings. This all took place in 1785.
I'd love to find a bit more about this John Squance if I could. Does this man sound like he could be related to you?
