Notes |
- John and Mary and their children sailed in the "Mandarin" to New Zealand, arriving in Wellington on Christmas Day 1841. Mary Jane Gilfillan remembered there was an earthquake which occurred when the boat was in mid-ocean. The family did not proceed to Wanganui immediately on their arrival in Wellington. By early 1842 they had moved to Wanganui, sailing in a small 10 ton boat "Catherine Johnson". In 1847 Mr Gilfillan's farmhouse at Matarawa was attacked by a party of six Maori youths. Mrs Gilfillan and three children were killed and later another daughter and a grand-daughter died of injuries. Mr Gilfillan wore a throat cover to hide the scar caused by the severe tomahawk wound he received in his neck and his daughter Mary had scars from tomahawk wounds on her forehead. Mr Gilfillan was an artist of considerable talent and his pencil sketches and oil paintings are important records of early New Zealand and Australia.
