Robert MAGSON: Robert Magson arrived in New Zealand to join his elder brother John Magson. Robert was born in Welburn, Yorkshire in 1842. His first endeavour in New Zealand was labouring on road building projects on the West Coast and Lochinvar roads. He was then lured to the West Coast goldfield, but this only lasted six months. Instead of making money somehow he lost one hundred pounds. At this point he returned to Canterbury and to his brother at Craigieburn who set him on a new path. He entered the service of Charles Withell of Brookside with whom he remained for four years. He took up state settlement land in Dunsandel and purchased his Rokeby (near Rakaia) farm of 518 acres in 1873 while still in its native state. The land was cropped with good results. After growing grain for six years he stocked his land with sheep. Robert married Catherine McPhail in 1870, she died in 1884 leaving a young family of four sons and two daughters. In retirement Robert lived in a house in Rakaia, passing away in 1911. Descendants of Robert and Catherine still live in the area. If you have a connection with this family or would like to know more please contact Rae Magson. |
