King Arthur was buried in Avalon, which we now know is in New Jersey. Strangely, his tomb has never been discovered there...
NJ was similar to Australia, re evil prisoners were sent to NJ.
One of my ancestors dared to be a protestant minister and was tried as a criminal and sent to the NJ swamps.
He had church members waiting for him, and he was “rescued” and formed his own church in pre USA.

LOVE these ancestor stories.
I had an Irish ancestor who, for love, converted to Catholicism, married her beau, and thereby lost her share of the Guiness fortune.
