• • Thomas Newby and his wife Sarah Jones are recorded as being on the Second Embarkation HMS "Porpose" for the Derwent Van Diemen's Land 26th Dec 1807.  
• • John Beamont (1798 – 1872) arrived in the colony in 1813.  He held many and varied posts  until his death on December 19, 1872. John Beamont’s most noted contribution to the development of Van Diemans Land was his exploration in December 1817 of the Central Plateau including the Great Lake. Beaumont’s government man was John  Smallman. He ran the farm near Herdsman’s Cove and owed money to a number of people (including Thomas Peters). Today, a short walk from Hydro Tasmania's Miena Dam, is the Beaumont Memorial. 
• • The list of Free women on Muster of Free Persons - Hobart Town, VDL - September to October 1818 shows Elizabeth Peters as a separate entry (i.e. she is not included with the 6 children recorded for the Peters family). Mary Ann Peters, wife of Thomas, is shown as having the maiden name Hughes.
• • On 29 Sep 1818 Elizabeth Peters, the daughter of Thomas and Mary ‘Ann’ Peters, married George (Jnr) Armytage.   Bronwyn Meikle observes ‘Some free immigrants benefitted financially from the skills or influence of their convict partners. George Armytage, of the impoverished European aristocracy, was eligible for a land grant of 500 acres on his arrival in Van Diemen’s Land in 1815, but it was his wife, daughter of the prosperous Calcutta convict Thomas Peters, who supplied the capital. The Armytage family expanded their pastoral operations into the Geelong district and became one of Victoria’s prosperous squatting families.’ https://eprints.utas.edu.au/22425/1/Whole-Meikle-thesis.pdf  p.25
