Biography
Charles Green ... was a marine who came to Australia with the First Fleet
Charles was a private marine who came to the colony aboard the ship 'Friendship' and served at Port Jackson in the company of Watkin Tench.
Soon after arrival he was in trouble, ordered 10 lashes for being drunk on duty on 9 Feb 1788 (but pardoned soon afterwards) and receiving 100 on the 20th for having connections with female convicts.
Charles Green and First Fleet convict Margaret Dowling conceived a son in Mar 1788. At Port Jackson 22 Dec 1788 Margaret bore a son Charles from this union. The child went with her to Norfolk Island on 4 Mar 1790 aboard the ship 'Sirius'.
(In Sep 1794 Charles Green Sen. made an attempt to get his son from Margaret, but was told she could keep him until he reached the age of seven, and Green apparently did not persist.)
He did duty aboard the shop 'Gorgon' for some five weeks in Nov and Dec 1791, and in Apr 1792 he enlisted in the NSW Corps as a private. He was marked dead in NSW Corps records of 1 Dec 1799.
He is understood to have been buried in Old Sydney Cemetery.
