HENRY KENDALL in ILLAWARRA Thomas Henry Kendall
lllawarra Historical Society Bulletin 1 April. 1984 15 HENRY KENDALL IN ILLAWARRA Thomas Henry Kendall. "Native Australian Poet," was born on 18 April, 1839, in Ulladulla, on the South Coast of New South Wales, the twin son of Basil Kendall and his wife Melinda, nee McNally. Basil was the son of Thomas Kendall, who came to Sydney in 1809 and five years later went as a missionary to New Zealand. In 1826 Thomas returned to Australia and obtained a grant of land at Ulla dulla where he entered the timber trade1• In 1832 a survey party, including Thomas Kendall and his son-in-law, Mr. Florence, left Ulladulla in the "Brisbane" for Sydney. The cutter foundered off Jervis Bay and all hands were lost.2 Basil Kendall, Henry's father, was spoken of as being bright and amiable, but unstable. Alexander Sutherland3 describes him as a mild gentlemanly man of evident education and refinement but thin and delicate, one lung almost gone through the ravages of consump tion. It was said that one evening at a dance in Sussex Street, Basil met the bright and pretty Melinda Anne McNally. Overcome, he proposed to her on the spot and they were married the next morning 4 As both were rumoured to be of intemperate habits this m3} well have been so! Melinda McNally was the granrl-daughter of Leonard Mci\Jolly, a leading Irish wit and barrister who Lurned informer on his fellow United Irishmen and for his pains was disgraced and made almost penniless by an ungrateful British Government. One of his sons, Patrick, came to Australia and it was his daughter whom Basil Kendall so precipitately married. -

Sign the Treaty of Waitangi on 6 February 1840
THE TREATY OF WAITANGI TIM ELINE C1800 Early Mäori and European contact A pattern of contact was established between Mäori and early whalers and sealers. Europeans (or Päkehä) numbered barely a handful in any one place, and they often lived as guests of the estimated 100,000 Mäori in their distinct and independent tribal regions. Early interaction with ships visiting to trade or take trees (for ships' spars) sometimes led to misunderstandings and violence. Crewmen sometimes broke local tapu or mistreated Mäori, and occasionally openly plundered, The Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand’s founding document. Over 500 Mäori chiefs and for which Mäori sought utu (satisfaction) by attacking the ships. representatives of the British Crown signed the Treaty in 1840.

'Mangungu Brethren': Talk, Tales and Rumour in Early New Zealand
The ‘bickerings’ of the ‘Mangungu Brethren’: Talk, Tales and Rumour in Early New Zealand ANGELA WanHALLA On their arrival in the Bay of Islands in April 1822, New Zealand’s first Wesleyan missionaries were surrounded by the sound of voices. There was much talk about the Anglican missionary Thomas Kendall, who had recently left his wife and family to co-habit with a chief’s daughter. Reverend Samuel Leigh did not initially believe the reports, ‘but from the first of our arriving onshore to this day it hath been sounding in our ears’.1 Cases of sexual scandal within the Church Missionary Society (CMS) and the Wesleyan Missionary Society (WMS) are productive sites for exploring the cultural work of talk, particularly the ways talk was structured and governed, and how words and speech could be mobilized against individuals.2 Thomas Kendall and William Yate, for instance, were the subject of gossip and rumour in the 1820s and 1830s respectively. Both lost favour, and were dismissed from the CMS.3 William White (1794-1875), superintendent of the Hokianga mission (1830-36), was also dismissed from the New Zealand mission, but, unlike others in a similar situation, he returned to the colony as a settler. On his return, talk, in the form of what White described as ‘telling tales’, followed him during his life in Auckland and Northland. White’s fall from grace has been the focus of a lively scholarship concerned with his mission career. A standard account has emerged, that local traders conspired to eject White from the mission because he was successfully competing against them.4 In 1836 around 90 Europeans worked at Hokianga in the timber trade, and in order to protect Māori interests White used Māori labour on mission saw-pits, acting as their agent. -
The Missionary Marsden an AUSTRALIAN VIEW
The Missionary Marsden AN AUSTRALIAN VIEW SAMUEL MARSDEN, in spite of his outstanding importance in the early history of Australasia, has fared ill at the hands of our historians. New Zealand writers, until the recent publication of Judith Binney's perceptive book on Thomas Kendall,1 have not looked beyond the too simple folk tradition of Greatheart Marsden,2 the Apostle to the Maoris. Australians, with the exception of a few uncritical clerics,3 have perpetuated the equally unsatisfactory colonial tradition of the selfishly materialistic flogging parson that was set firmly by the biased contemporary accounts of William Charles Wentworth and John Dunmore Lang.4 Manning Clark has come closest to bringing out the complicated motivation of the man in his multi-volume History of Australia, but the need remains for a comprehensive and careful study that might rescue Marsden from the caricaturist and present him as a credible human being. My purpose here is to suggest the complexity of Marsden's character and motivation, and to indicate a line of biographical approach that takes account of his activities in every area engaging his interest. The great weakness of the existing delineations of Mars- den is not so much that they are violently partisan, rather that they are too narrowly identified with his work in a particular geographical The theme of this article was presented, with variations, to the 1968 ANZAAS Conference at Christchurch, New Zealand, and as the Anniversary Lecture to the Royal Australian Historical Society in January 1969. Much of the argument has appeared in mv Oxford University Press booklet on Marsden in the 'Great Australians' Series. -

New Zealand Journal of History, 49, 2 (2015) Claims Process Needs to Be Considered by Academic Historians
184 New Zealand Journal of History, 49, 2 (2015) claims process needs to be considered by academic historians. Problematically, it is often hard to access. But for the Muriwhenua and Northland inquiries, evidence by Philippa Wyatt, Joan Metge and Grant Phillipson has a rightful claim to consideration, while evidence by the late Rima Edwards and Erima Henare reveals an authentic Māori voice. A noticeable omission from the book’s bibliography is Angela Ballara’s work – her MA thesis on Ngāpuhi (1973), her PhD thesis (1991) and Iwi (1998) – work that explores iwi and hapū formations and Pākehā (mis)conceptions of the same. Nevertheless, the book is based on a rigorous engagement with the primary archive and raises new lines of enquiry. One of these is the extent to which missionaries were changed by the use of te reo Māori in the course of translation of scripture. The book postulates such change (p.5) but does not substantively elucidate it in the way that Salmond, for example, describes how Cook’s Pacific encounters affected him at a deep cultural and personal level. Further close readings of missionary texts and contexts are needed with this question in mind. SAMUEL CARPENTER Wellington Pēwhairangi: Bay of Islands Missions and Māori 1814 to 1845. By Angela Middleton. Otago University Press, Dunedin, 2014. 335pp. NZ price: $50.00. ISBN: 9781877578533. Angela Middleton begins the preface to Pēwhairangi with a personal comment, noting that ‘Pēwhairangi, or more literally, Te Pē-o-whairangi, the Bay of Islands, has been a place of intrigue and mystique for me’. Such a kaupapa is a good foundation for any research project. -
