Heaphy, Charles 1820-1881 :View of the Kahu-Kahu Hokianga River [December] 1839 Shows G. F. Russell's house and timber yard at Kohukohu, Hokianga Harbour, with a ship and a barque, the Francis Spaight (nearer vessel) and the Bolina (on the left) loading kauri spars; and a row-boat hauling spars. On the hill behind is dense native forest. For many years, this watercolour was thought to show Horeke with Lieutenant Thomas McDonnell's house. However Maureen Lander's "Turnbull Library Record" article cited below proves that the image is of Kohukohu and of G. F. Russell's house. See Turnbull Library Record vol.22. no.1, May 1989, p.33-40 for an article by Maureen Lander establishing that this view is of Kohukohu and is accurate in its details. The view dates from a trip Heaphy made with other New Zealand Company employees in December 1839, looking for appropriate areas to establish cities. The New Zealand Company's vessel the "Tory", with the artist on board, was in the Hokianga Harbour between 2 and 16 December. See also the article by Brian Byrne in "Turnbull Library record" 1997, pages 73-76, identifying the "Francis Spaight" and the "Bolina", with evidence. Exhibited in 'Two centuries of New Zealand landscape art' Exhibition at Auckland City Art Gallery, 2 February - 22 April 1990.

George Frederick Russell

RUSSELL, GEORGE FREDERICK, was at Hokianga before 1830 and built the Sir George Murray there in that year. He married a niece or close relative of Tamati Waka Nene. Russell had a good timber business at Hokianga and loaded with sawn timber the first ship, the Bolina, for Logan Campbell to take to the English market (1844). He was with Nene when he erected his pa at Okaihau against Heke (1845), and saw much of the fighting in that campaign. In 1846 he with difficulty persuaded the commander of H.M.S. Osprey not to attack the Ihutai tribe, since Heke and Nene had both declared Hokianga to be neutral. Russell died in 1855.

His son, FREDERICK NENE RUSSELL, was elected unopposed to represent the Northern Maori in the first parliament in which the native members sat (1868). He declared that Maori representation would be a sham if the natives were not permitted to choose European representatives if they wished. He did not contest the seat at the election of 1871. Nene left to Russell's family the goblet presented to him by Queen Victoria.
