Barrell married James Makitterick Adair in 1791, but the marriage was short-lived and Adair remarried the following year. In 1801, Barrell was convicted of passing counterfeit coin in Fleet Street and was sentenced to one year in prison. She was convicted of counterfeit again in 1803 and faced the death penalty, but received a royal pardon. Her punishment was reduced to transportation to New South Wales.
