Israel RAYNER
* born 1770
* married 1796 England to Elizabeth CARPENTER (1775-1839)
* daughter Jemima born 1797 England
* arrived in Australia in 1801 with wife Elizabeth and daughter Jemima
* 2 unnamed children with Elizabeth born in Australia (Elizabeth was then sold to Henry BALDWIN in October 1803 and had children with him from 1805 to 1820)
* relationship with Martha HOWLETT
* daughter Martha born 1811 to Martha
* daughter Rebecca born 1822 to Martha

Elizabeth CARPENTER was sold by Israel RAYNER in 1803 and then had the following children with Henry BALDWIN
* 1805 Wellow
* 1805 Edwin
* 1806 Job
* 1807 Eve
* 1809 Otto
* 1811 Wynn
* 1812 Arletta
* 1813 Harvest
* 1814 Tulip
* 1816 Virgo
* 1817 Bemarr
* 1818 Dio
* 1820 Bona

So cannot be the mother of Martha born c1811

NSW Marriage 1826-1834
William Cawell, Atlas 3rd, 1816, 34 years, of the parish of Parramatta and Martha Capon, 22, free, of the parish of ditto was married in this church by banns with consent of parents this 29th Oct 1827 by me Samuel Marsden
William Cawell and Martha Capon made their X marks the register
in the presence of Martha Capon who made her X mark of Parramatta and Richard Corkett of ditto James Buckles of Parramatta

The 1828 census has
* William CAWELL age 36 "Atlas" 1816
* Martha CAWELL age 18 BIC
* William CAWELL age 2 1/2 BIC
* Richard CAWELL age 5 months BIC

So Martha CAPON married William COWELL convict "Atlas" 1816 not William COWELL Convict "Atlas" 1821

I have reversed the merge that merged
Australian born George Stevens - son of James Joseph Stevens, Convict "Hindostan" 1821 and Martha Stevens - Cowell
with
England born George Stevens - son of Joseph Stevens and Sarah Stevens
