CONDITIONAL CONVICT PARDONS OR REWARDS

Did your ancestral convict get a pardon? All states that had convicts sent to them also granted pardons to some convicts. Some were conditional, some were absolute. There were also some offers of rewards offered... the amount did vary, according to the level of crimes committed or in some cases, behaviour of the convict while imprisoned.

The following clippings are selected from the numerous posts that are available through TROVE.
