James Duncan in Wellington about April 1843, staying there while he learned the Maori language and something of their customs from pa in the vicinity. About six months later he decided to make the Manawatu his base.

On 7 January 1844, the first Scots Church in New Zealand was dedicated. The minister, Reverend John McFarlane took the morning service and Duncan preached in the afternoon and evening. After about six months in Wellington, Duncan decided to make the Manawatu his base. At this time, there were several large Maori villages with a population of about 1,000 adult males and 400 women and children along the Manawatu river. The nearest missionary was Octavius Hadfield based at Otaki.
