John MORGON/MORGAN: John Morgon/Morgan arrived in New Zealand by the ship Roehampton, where he was listed as a gardener. He married Sarah Jane Booker/Brooker at St Michael's, Christchurch, 27.6.1860, and his occupation at that time was a tailor. They had five children, before Sarah died, 18.9.1871 age 30. Several children died young. She is buried in Barbadoes St Cemetery. He is listed in G R McDonald's Dictionary of Canterbury Biographies as a tailor and "an entertainer always ready to perform at a concert to raise funds for a good object". Sometime between 1872 and 1878 John and daughter Emily Jane moved to Napier, where in July 1878 she married James (Tiemi) Frederick Sturm, the son of Pakepake Tiarere and German botanist and orchardist FWC Sturm. John Morgon continued to perform at concerts mentioned in Hawkes Bay papers, before moving to Whangarei and Auckland. He drowned in Auckland Harbour, April 1888, and his death was noted in the Lyttelton Star as "..creating a sad feeling in the minds of the townspeople, for Mr Morgon was a great favourite...a good musician, possessed of a fine voice and always ready to assist at any concert or entertainment, he will be greatly missed in the district."

HILLS
family: I am also descended from Thomas HILLS and wife, also aboard the Roehampton with their young son Walter. He settled in Rangiora too, the families probably knew each other well. In 1884 their son Arthur William Hills, born 1863 in Rangiora, married Mary Adlin Stephens, fifth daughter of Solomon Stephens, born in 1865. They are my paternal grandfather's parents. Thus Thomas and Jane Hills are my great-great grandparents, and Mary Ann Miles is my great-great-great grandmother. If you have a connection with this family or would like to know more please contact Sarah Johnston. |
