John Williams Harris | HARRIS, JOHN WILLIAMS (1808-72) was born in Cornwall. Going to sea with his uncle in a China tea clipper (in which he learned a good deal about navigation), he deserted his ship and found his way to Australia, where he obtained employment with J. Barrow Montefiore and Co., Sydney. In 1830 the firm sent him to New Zealand as agent for the purchase of flax and other produce, and he eventually settled at Turanga under the protection of the chief Turangi and married a Maori woman. He established the first shore whaling station on the East Coast and was the first European to settle permanently in the Poverty Bay district. Harris had considerable success as a storekeeper and sheepfarmer, but fell upon evil days in his later years and died tragically in Auckland on 4 Feb 1872.

John Williams Hipango | HIPANGO, JOHN WILLIAMS (HOANI WIREMU) (?-1865), an influential chief of Whanganui (Ngati-Tumango hapu), was a landed proprietor and lived at Putikiwaranui. Though inferior in rank to Te Anaua, his personal influence was greater. He early befriended the Europeans, embraced Christianity as soon as the missionaries arrived at Whanganui, and was himself an exemplary teacher. In 1846, when the Taupo chiefs and Mamaku made a hostile raid upon Wanganui, Hipango and the Putiki chiefs were appealed to for protection, and they garrisoned the town pending the arrival of a military force. On the murder of the Gilfillan family Hipango offered to pursue the murderers, and with five of his tribesmen he followed them up the river. Both canoes were upset in the fight, but five of the six murderers were captured and brought back to Wanganui for trial. Governor Grey granted Hipango a pension for his services and he was appointed an assessor (1849). In 1855 the Whanganui natives furnished Hipango with money to enable him to accompany the Rev Richard Taylor (q.v.) to England and convey their gifts to the Queen. These included Te Anaua's greenstone mere (a token of allegiance), a bag made by his wife, Rawinia, and an ancient family weapon sent by Pehi Turoa. The gifts were presented in audience with the Queen and Prince Albert at Windsor. On his return to New Zealand Hipango at once went to Taranaki with other chiefs and Mr Taylor to endeavour to effect peace between Rawiri Waiaua and Katatore, but without success. He then entered St Stephen's School at Auckland to study for the ministry, but having to desist owing to failing eyesight, he accepted with reluctance from Sir George Grey a position of trust at Wanganui. When the Hauhau, after recovering from their defeat at Moutoa, threatened Wanganui again by advancing down the river, Hipango was chosen to command the friendly force which advanced towards the Hauhau camp at Ohoutahi, above Hiruharama. Having skillfully manoeuvred to gain the advantage of his opponents, he declined to be the first to shed blood, and twice sent back to the enemy a captured picket. The Hauhau then commenced the attack, and after some blood had been shed Hipango led the assault on their position. Receiving a bullet in the chest, he walked to the rear and handed over the command to Hakaraia. He was carried down to Wanganui where he died on 24 Feb 1865. He was accorded an impressive public funeral and some time later a monument to his memory was erected in Wanganui. His son, HORI KINGI HIPANGO (b. 1852) died while visiting England with Taylor (29 Jun 1871). Another son WALTER, presented Hipango park to Wanganui. Buller; Downes; Taylor, Past and Present; Cycl.

John Williams Marshall | MARSHALL, JOHN WILLIAMS (1814-91) was born at Yarmouth, Norfolk, the eldest son of Captain Marshall, R.N. In 1836 he was appointed ensign in the 65th Regiment, with which he served in the Canadian rebellion (1837-38), in England (1841) and in New South Wales (1846). He came to Bay of Islands with his regiment (1846), and took part in the campaign at Hutt and Pahautanui. In 1858 the regiment moved to Auckland and in 1860 to Taranaki. On the conclusion of the Taranaki campaign Marshall retired with the rank of major and settled at Tututotara, Rangitikei (1862). He had a command in the militia and volunteers in subsequent troubles. He married (1849) Mary Frederica, daughter of W. Swain: son, F.L.S. (q.v.). After her death (1854) he married Jane Mary Boulter (d. 1884). Marshall's death occurred on 25 Nov 1891. Ward (p); J. G.

John William Williams | WILLIAMS, JOHN WILLIAM (1827-1904) was a son of Archdeacon Henry Williams (q.v.). From 1863 to 1865 he represented Bay of Islands in the Provincial Council and he sat as member for Mangonui and Bay of Islands in the House of Representatives (1873-79). Williams died on 27 Apr 1904. | Volume 2, page 260 |
John Williamson | WILLIAMSON, JOHN (1815-75) was born at Newry, County Down, Ireland, educated there and apprenticed to a printer. In 1840 he arrived at Sydney, and in 1841 came to Auckland under engagement to the Auckland Printing Co., and worked at his profession till 1845. He then purchased a printing plant from the Rev H. H. Lawry, and on 7 Jun established the New Zealander, in which he was joined in Jan 1848 by W. C. Wilson (q.v.). Williamson held strong views on politics, being a consistent Liberal, and on the inauguration of the constitution (1853) he was elected by the Pensioner Settlements to the Provincial Council, in which he sat until 1856. In Oct of that year he was elected Superintendent of the province, defeating J. A. Gilfillan by 162 votes. After working with a hostile council for a year, he was re-elected unopposed (1857). He carried through his 40 acre land settlement proposals to encourage immigration. At the elections in 1861 he retained the superintendency against Dr Stratford by a narrow majority (1,166 votes to 1,117). The Council was again hostile, and on the passing of the native lands act he felt that his power for carrying out what he considered a good policy was neutralised. He accordingly retired (18 Oct 1862) and Robert Graham, then the most popular man in the province, was nominated. Williamson was nominated at the last moment and defeated (1,625 votes to 1,141). His strong advocacy of a peaceful policy towards the Maori was very unpopular at the time. Had he desired he could have retired wealthy at this period. He did, in fact, remain out of provincial politics for three years. Meanwhile he had been a member of Parliament continuously (for Pensioner Settlements, 1855-60; City of Auckland West, 1861-75). He was a private member throughout, except for three weeks in Fox's executive (1861). He intended to contest the superintendency in 1865, but agreed with Graham to withdraw in favour of Whitaker, as the strongest man to defend provincial privileges against the central government. He re-entered the Council, however, at the head of the poll (Nov 1865); became a member of Whitaker's executive as commissioner of waste lands; and carried the election of O'Rorke to be speaker. Whitaker resigned the superintendency in Mar 1867 and Williamson was elected unopposed. Financial depression lay heavily on the province which the courageous policy of Williamson was powerless to ameliorate. Meanwhile he coped vigorously with the demands of the new mining population on the Thames fields. At the dissolution of 1869 he was opposed by Gillies, and after one of the severest contests defeated by 52 votes. He was, however, again elected to the highest post in the province in Nov 1873 (defeating Dargaville and Lusk), and held it until his death (on 16 Feb 1875). In 1870 he was commissioner of crown lands for a few months. Williamson was a man of high character, strong will and great determination, with advanced Liberal views. His partnership with Wilson terminated in 1863, when the New Zealand Herald was established. Auckland P.C. Proc.; Cycl. N.Z., ii (p); Morton; Cox; N.Z. Herald, 19 Feb 1875, 7 Jul 1876, 15 Jul 1929.

HARRIS, JOHN WILLIAMS (1808-72) was born in Cornwall. Going to sea with his uncle in a China tea clipper (in which he learned a good deal about navigation), he deserted his ship and found his way to Australia, where he obtained employment with J. Barrow Montefiore and Co., Sydney. In 1830 the firm sent him to New Zealand as agent for the purchase of flax and other produce, and he eventually settled at Turanga under the protection of the chief Turangi and married a Maori woman. He established the first shore whaling station on the East Coast and was the first European to settle permanently in the Poverty Bay district. Harris had considerable success as a storekeeper and sheepfarmer, but fell upon evil days in his later years and died tragically in Auckland on 4 Feb 1872. While on a visit to Sydney in 1837 Harris left with a relative the moa bones which were eventually laid before Professor Owen.
