William Ezzy was born 1767 in Beenham, Berk, England. He had a twin brother, who did not survive. He married Jane Floyd 13th August 1788 in St Dunstan, Stepney, London. Jane Floyd was born 1765 and the daughter of Caesar Floyd and Isabella MacKenzie. William was a Brewers Servant in London. He was arrested and indicted for stealing a wooden cask and 36 gallons of yeast and sentenced to 7 years transportation to N.S.W. He arrived on 7th October 1792 on the Royal Admiral as a convict with wife Jane, son James William and daughter Louisa. Louisa died shortly after that same year aged 12 months. The Convict Indent for the Royal Admiral describes William as a man of above average height, with black hair. He was sent to Parramatta Town and would have most likely been put to work with other convicts, clearing the country and cultivating the land. William was granted 130 acres of land at Clarendon on 11th August 1804 by Governor King, the greater part of which became the original portion of the Richmond RAAF Base in N.S.W. It was no time at all before he and Jane were entirely off Government Stores and were supplying themselves and their growing family with their daily food requirement and for the next six years the family settled down to farming and raising their children. By 1810 William had entered into partnership with John Boulton, also a former convict, and were in cultivation of acres of Wheat, Barley and Corn. Jane Ezzy died in Sydney in 1821 and William married Jane Mills, his assigned convict housekeeper since 1823, on 18th May 1829 with the Consent of the Governor, as Jane Mills never received a full Pardon during her lifetime. There were no children born to his second marriage. In March 1811 William received a Licence to sell beer in Sydney and from July to December 1815 a battled raged between William and John Boulton over the ownership of Boulton & Ezzys Farm at the Hawkesbury. As well as farming crops William raised horses. William died 23rd April 1830 in Windsor. He is buried in St.Matthews Church of England, Windsor, but does not have a headstone and the location of the grave is unknown.
