Samuel:

The list of deaths in the Geelong hospital for the present month contains the name (says the Advertiser 1871) of Samuel Westlake, a man who was born in Norfolk Island, and was eighty years of age at the time of his death. He stated that he was the first white person born in Australia. He died of pneumonia.


Mary                She married twice once to John Broadhurst Boothman and secondly to                             Samuel Cash. She had 7 children
Ann                 It is presumed that Ann married Joseph Morris (sea captain) Sydney 1812.

Joseph was the captain of the ss Hunter and the ss Atlantic and often had dealings in Hobart.  At the time of the marriage in 1812, there were no other Westlake families in the colony. From the marriage in 1812, the is nothing to be found about in Australia, regarding Ann Westlake (Morris). 

Susannah       She had a daughter Amelia when she was 16, father unknown.
                       Then she married Thomas Shone, lived at Stanton New Norfolk, and had two                                children.  Mary Ann and Thomas Shone Jnr
                   **  Mary Ann Shone married Thomas Jillett son of Robert and Elizabeth Jillett  
                        (Bradshaw) thus linking the two Norfolk Island families.

Richard           Died in 1881 in Bourke, NSW, As late as 1837 he was still farming in                                 Clarence Plains.

George             Died aged 12 and is buried in Hobart

Charles           Buried 4th June 1877 was a patient at Brickfields Department, and is buried                   at Cornellian Bay Cemetery in the paupers section.

Strength of the establishment on the 31st 'December 1854. Secondly, as regards the Cascade Factory, Female House of Correction, and Brickfields Establishments. State of Prison Buildings. S3. 

Looks like our Charles was either a prisoner or in a mental asylum as Brickfields seems to be what that was used for.
