About George Grooby

Brothers Francis and George Grooby were born in Nottinghamshire, England, and came to New Zealand as passengers on the settler ship ANNIE LOUGHTON in November 1864.

Hop and fruit growers at Rocky River, Pangatotara, they had a freehold of 338 acres situated at the head of the Pangatotara District on the banks of the Rocky River, much of which was rich alluvial soil. They ran about 400 crossbred sheep on the property, cultivated a few acres of hops and planted 5 acres in fruit trees.
