A Good Deed

A Good Deed

1800s

My great grandfather and his wife arrived in New Zealand November 1859 on the Zealandia. Parents told me John Hepworth did a good deed for a Maori chief and was presented with a Huia feather. The feather was in the possession of my father's older brother .. in about 1940 ... but the ... family can no longer find the feather. I believe but am unable to confirm that the European man with the hat on in the photo is my Great Grandfather.– John Hepworth, Christchurch, 2010..
