Because she was launched during the Napoleonic Wars, the EIC arranged for her captain, Thomas Pitcher, to be issued a letter of marque, which it commonly did for many of its East Indiamen.

[2] In 1813, Timbrell sold Broxbornebury to Andrew Chapman, and she left the EIC's service.

[1] Under the command of Thomas Pitcher Jr., Broxbornebury sailed from London, England on 22 February 1814, with 120 female convicts, plus passengers and cargo.

Among the convicts were women who had sailed on Emu, which an American privateer had captured and left at Cape Verde, from where they were repatriated back to prison hulks at London.

By this time the fever had killed or incapacitated many on board Surrey, including all the officers, so Pitcher sent a volunteer seaman to take command.

Captain Thomas Fewson left the Downs on 8 June 1825, bound for Madras, Bengal, and China.

For the return trip she left Macao on 10 April, reaching St Helena on 1 August and the Downs on 23 September.

[7] Fewson left the Downs on 15 April 1827, bound for China, and reached Whampoa on 10 August.

He, in turn, sold her in 1841 to Phillips & Co.[1] Broxbornebury was condemned in 1843 at Mauritius after being damaged in a storm while on a voyage from Bombay to London.
