I thought Mrs. Q was identified when the authorities found a napkin that she had wrapped food in for the fugitives. The napkin, like most of that time, was embroidered with the family's initial(s).

Someone please check the trial records also, because I don't think young Rousby testified at the trial. For some reason, I thought he was just a toddler in 1865. The brain fadeth, however, so...

Also, the beginning part about how Jones met the pair is a little shaky.

I don't see a Rousby listed among the witnesses in Pitman.
