Definite records regarding 'Mad' Dan Morgan's date of birth do not exist, but it is thought that he was born in 1830, and adopted in 1832 by John Roberts, a stockman or landowner in southern New South Wales. Morgan stayed with Roberts until he was 17, learning skills of being a stockman.
Morgan's earliest crime was stealing two horses in 1847. After he moved to the Victorian goldfields after 1851, he continued to steal horses until he was arrested in 1854. He was sentenced to 12 years' jail at Pentridge, where his sentence involved hard labour on the prison hulks in Port Phillip Bay.
He absconded while holding a ticket-of-leave in 1860, and then moved to Lambing Flat (now Young) in NSW. Between 1863 and 1865 he earned a reputation as a particularly vicious and ruthless bushranger, committing several murders.
It was this which led to him being a wanted man.
