About John Horton McKay

Her Maori name was Te Paea, her 'English' name was Irihapeti (Peti) (Elizabeth) Hahau. Her mother was from Ngati Pukeko of Poroporo, near Whakatane and her father from Ngati Mahuta of Waikato. She lived from about 1820 to about 1900. She and her first husband, John Horton MacKay, who was originally from the town of Paisley in Renfrewshire, Scotland, lived at Putataka bay, Port Waikato, for about twenty years. John MacKay drowned in 1859, soon after the birth of their eleventh child, Mere. Irihapeti remarried and she and her second husband, Sam Joy (Joyce), lived at Raglan, and had three children. Irihapeti left Sam Joy soon after the birth of her last child and moved to Taupiri, where she lived with one of her daughters, Clara, on repatriated confiscated land she was able to claim because of her Waikato heritage.
