Biography

Birth

Daniel was born around 1758 in Surrey, England.

Marriage

Daniel Tindall was a convict after the Third Fleet transported to New South Wales

Conviction

He was found guilty of treason for his part in a plot to kill King George III in 1803 (known as the Despard Conspiracy). He was sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered in Feb 1803 but he and two other men were given a reprieve - their sentence was commuted to transportation for life. Daniel’s wife, Jane, and children were able to join him as free settlers, sailing on the ship Kangaroo in 1814.

Per the Hull packet Tue 25 Jan 1803 p. 3:

THE Special Commission issued for the trial of the persons concerned in the Oakley-street meeting, was opened at the New Sessions House in Southwark, yesterday morning.

After hearing one of the most able, impartial, and humane charges, ever delivered by a Judge on such an occasion, from Lord Chief Justice Ellenborugh, the Grand Jury retired, and at a quarter past eight o'clock in the evening returned a true bill against thirteen of the persons named in the indictment, viz.:

Edward Marcus Despard, William Lander, Arthur Graham, Thomas Broughton, Thomas Phillips, Daniel Tindall, John Doyle, George Sedgwick Wratton; John Wood; John Francis, Thomas Newman, Samuel Smith; and J. McNamara. - Charles Pendrill was left in Newgate; Winterbottom, no bill found; and John Conolly was admitted in evidence.

The prisoners were then remanded; and after a consultation of the Officers of the Crown, as when the copy of the bill of indictment, lists of, witnesses and jurors could be served upon them, the Court adjourned to Saturday the 5th day of February, then to proceed to the arraignment, when it was understood they would adjourn until the following Monday (February 7) to proceed to the trial of the prisoners.

Note: that Tindall was often spelled Tyndall in accounts of the "Despard Conspiracy" and plot to assassinate and overthrow King George
