Davis, Ann (1773-1854)

John Nicol described her as 'a noted swindler, who obtained great quantities of goods under false names, and other equally base means'. Convicted of breaking and entering and stealing multiple items of clothing, she was transported for seven years. She lived in Toongabbie and Seven Hills with her de facto partner and later husband, Simon Moulds, and was listed in the 1814 census as a 'blind woman'.
