William was born in 1815, in Bristol, England. His father was a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, who raised him to be a seafarer. He attended the Blue Coat School (Christ's Hospital), a school in Greenwich, established for the sons of naval officers. His uncle was the Lord Mayor of Bristol. before and apprenticed him on a ship sailing from London. [1] His early voyages involved brigantine trading in Portugal, Spain and the Mediterranean for fruit. He also travelled to Newfoundland, in Canada, after which he joined the Royal Navy and became a midshipman on board the HMS Brig Snake, which fought against piracy on the Brazilian coast at one point. [2] He eventually ended up on one of the first voyages which took prisoners to Van Diemen's Land, Tasmania in Australia. It is likely he deserted the navy while docked in Sydney. [3] He arrived at Otago, New Zealand on the Mediterranean Packet or the Micmac or the Merrimac on March 17, 1836, St. Patrick's Day, where he became a whaler for a number of years, first spending a season (mid-March until mid-October) with the Weller brothers and later setting up his own rival business in Moeraki in 1842. [4] Moeraki had developed as a whaling station bolstered by Kai Tahu refugees from the war with the Ngati Toa fighting chief, Te Rauparaha. When the whale stocks gave out, by about 1843, he sailed in coasting vessels, and suffered shipwreck on the Rory O?More on Wairarapa Beach in 1842. [5] Haberfield married Mereana Teitei Te Pahi, a local Maori woman, and they had four children together: Mere Pi (Mary) born 1837 married Robert Fortune, Vincent Pike and Charles Chapman; Mereana (Annie), born 1840 married George Reynolds; John Kerle born 1845, married Elizabeth (Noki) Newton; Joseph William, born 1849, died 1879; Mereiana born 1849, died 1850. In 1848, he received a land grant of 25 acres after being described as ?the most respectable of the Squatters?. [6] After Teitei's death in 1852, remarried Kararaina Kiti Hakiri, a sister of Taare Wetere Te Kahu, a Kai Tahu rakatira from Otakou. He passed away in 1906 at Oamaru Hospital, at the age of 91.[7] [8]. William (Jerry) Isaac Haberfield immigrated to from Sydney to Otago on the "Micmac" arriving 17 mar 1836 in 1836.13,5 He resided in Moeraki and Otago in 1836.3 He was a whaler, Moeraki in 1836.3,5
