Pioneers of Foxton : Book One.

Foreword:

This booklet has been compiled by members of the Foxton Historical Society in an effort to record something of the lives of the pioneers of this District - from all walks of life. We hope it will stimulate local interest and that more people will offer their family history and thus enable us to produce a series of these booklets.

In this first booklet we feature people who were in the area in the 1840s. Their lives are intertwined and they depended on each other. We can imagine a friendship between Cook, Nye and possibly Burr. Francis Robinson probably held himself aloof. Ihakara was influenced greatly by Duncan, who in turn, stood alone because of his strict and somewhat narrow religious ideas. They were all important in their own way in the development of the District.

Arranged and printed by Margaret Speirs, Secretary Foxton Historical Society, December 1988.
