For 18 years before he arrived in this colony he served in the Light Dragoons in various parts of the world. he unfortunately met with a serious accident in the early days of the settlement,which made him an invalid to the end of his life. His only son went to Australia more than 25 years ago, and for many years has not been heard from. Deceased, besides a widow, leaves two daughters, who are residing with large families near Wellington.
