"A man of medium stature with penetrating blue eyes and a generous beard, John Grigg has been described as active, quick-tempered, impulsive and generous. A background of generations of yeomen farmers combined with a strong faith gave him a genuine regard for the land. His forthright nature and ability to foresee and adapt to change were qualities well suited to the role of a pioneer." Read the full biography by Morag Lawrence.
