John Alexander Wilson | WILSON, JOHN ALEXANDER (1809-87) was born at Ipswich, the second son of Captain J. A. Wilson, of the 2nd Regiment (Queen's Own). At the age of 13 he entered the Royal Navy as a gentleman volunteer (Apr 1822), and saw considerable foreign service. He was at the capture of a pirate in the Gulf of Campeche, and in the ship which rescued the King of Portugal at Lisbon. In 1828 Wilson married the daughter of Major Francis Hawker. Four years later he retired from the Navy with the rank of lieutenant to offer his services as a lay missionary to the Church Missionary Society. On 5 Oct 1832 he sailed with his family in the convict ship Camden for Port Jackson, and on 11 Apr 1833 arrived at Bay of Islands in the schooner Byron. He entered at once upon his duties as a catechist, mastered the Maori language, and in Dec proceeded with Preece to the station just opened at Puriri (Thames), where they were joined later by Fairburn and Morgan. In 1835 Wilson assisted Brown to open the station at Matamata, and in 1836 he went with Wade to Te Papa. When Waharoa raided Tauranga in Mar 1836 the missionary families were sent for safety to Puriri, but Wilson remained at his post. He was ordained deacon in 1852. In the Taranaki war, with the approval of the Government, Wilson accompanied the Waikato taua to Waitara, with the object of lessening their ferocity and protecting the wounded. He was at the battle of Puketakauere (Jun 1860), at Pukerangiora (Jan 1861) and at Huirangi (Dec). He persuaded them to accept a code of humane treatment, and to attend to the wounded day by day. Wilson died on 5 Jun 1887. His book Missionary Life and Work in New Zealand was published in 1889. His fourth son, Major-general George Alfred Wilson, died on 21 Jan 1889. (See J. A. WILSON, H. T. KEMP) J. A. Wilson, op. cit; Wells; Gudgeon; Cowan; Sherrin and Wallace; Grace; Davis | Volume 2, page 264 |
John Alexander Wilson | WILSON, JOHN ALEXANDER (1829-1909) was the eldest son of the Rev. J. A. Wilson (q.v.), and was born at Conde, France. He arrived in New Zealand with his parents in 1833 in the schooner Byron, and was educated mainly at the Waimate grammar school, the King's school at Parramatta, N.S.W., and St John's College, Auckland. His early years were spent at Bay of Islands and Bay of Plenty, and he was then engaged for some years farming at Opotiki and Tamaki. In 1857 he was elected to represent the Pensioner Settlements in the Auckland Provincial Council, of which he was a member until 1861. In that year he joined Nixon's cavalry, and two years later, on the outbreak of the Waikato war, he raised a company of the 3rd Waikato Regiment, and was appointed to command it with the rank of captain. He greatly distinguished himself at Rangiaohia (21 Feb 1864), when Nixon was killed. In 1866, at the conclusion of hostilities, Wilson was appointed special commissioner and crown agent for the settlement of confiscated lands in Bay of Plenty; in 1868 general native agent for the northern district, and in 1873 native land purchase officer for the East Coast. He became a judge of the native land court (1878-80) and from 1886 for 30 years was occupied with the duties of that court, the appellate court and the validation court and as a trust commissioner. He had a profound knowledge of Maori language and lore, and published two important books, The Story of Te Waharoa (1866) and Sketches of Ancient Maori Life (1894), as well as pamphlets on The Immortality of the Universe (1875) and other subjects. He died on 28 Apr 1909. Who's Who N.Z., 1908; Gudgeon (p); J. A. Wilson, op. cit., The Modus Operandi (1884); R. Cooper, Land Purchase on the East Coast (1877); N.Z.
