About Mary Anne Hodgson
Mary arrived in NZ on 8th Feb 1840 on the ship "Duke of Roxborough" She came with her parents and 5 siblings. Her people were Quakers, farmers from Devon. She became a companion-help to the minister Rev. Williams' family in Waimate North, Bay of Islands. She was cutting ham for lunch when she met Joseph Hodgson, who became the Rev Williams farm manager and vet. The result, a romance started and they were married in Waimate North by the minister Taylor on 5th November 1840. They came to Auckland and started the the first butcher's shop at the bottom of Queen Street..The family then acquired Rocky Bay, Waiheke Island, now called Omiha. Joseph's father was furious when he found out his son had been married in New Zealand and cut him off without a shilling. Joseph farmed beef cattle, sheep and pigs, and planted fruit trees and purchased 125 acres on Waiheke in 1868.
Duke of Roxburgh Ship: 417 tons Captain: James Thomson Surgeon Superintendent: Francis Healy Sailed Plymouth 5th October 1839 - arrived Port Nicholson 8th February 1840 "The 'Duke' made the third vessel of the fleet to reach Port Nicholson, and by that time the foreshore at Petone had became a busy locality. Tents were supplemented by shanties of various descriptions, but some of the whares put up with the help of the Maoris were of a more ambitious character, and so well built that they lasted several years. Round about this somewhat incongruous camp-settlement the belongings of the settlers were scattered, and as there were by this time about 500 white people ashore the scene was decidedly animated."
