Fatal Accident. On Wednesday evening Mr. James Anderson, a very old and much respected settler in New Zealand, who has lately been living in Parnell, met with a watery grave on his way from Auckland to Coromandel. He had started for Coromandel with the intention of fetching away hi s goods in consequence of the threatening attitude assumed by the Maoris; and on crossing the Firth of the Thames he was unfortunately knocked overboard by the main boom. The deceased was a man upwards of seventy years of age, and had been in the colony more than two-and-twenty years. He had been twice before driven away from his location by the Maoris, once from the Bay of Islands, and once from Wangarei, and he was proceeding to Coromandel (where he had resided for some years back) determined never again to take up his abode where there was any danger of trouble from them. James Anderson immigrated to from Sydney to Hokianga on the Nimrod with Baron de THIERRY in October 1837.13 He was a sawyer, Maremare kauri, Hokianga in 1838.4 He was a plumber and glazier, painter Wahapu? in 1840.1,14

PPA Thames Star, Volume XXIII, Issue 7211, 15 June 1892, Page 2
The announcement is made in our obituary columns this evening of the demise of an exceedingly old and respected colonist ?one Œwho, having borne all the heat and burden of the strife, has at length, entered into her rest at the advanced age of 92 years. We refer to Mrs Anderson, of the Beach road, mother of Mr Peter Anderson, one of the amalgamators at the Waiotahi Co.'s battery. The life of Mrs Anderson has been a very varied one, and the following particulars which we have been able to gather may prove of interest to our readers. Along with her husband, Mrs Anderson arrived in Australia in 1829, being amongst the first batch of emigrants to arrive in Western Australia at what was then known as the Swan River. After a stay of a year or two there they left for" and went to Hobart, and after a brief sojourn then went over again to Sydney. In the year 1835 or 1836 they came over to New Zealand, landing at Hokianga, from whence they travelled overland to the Bay of Islands. While on this journey the Maoris, who were assisting them in the removal of their luggage, turned on them, and robbed them of all their impedimenta, including all papers, &c. They were present at the proclaiming of the Queen's sovereignty in 1840 by Governor Hobson, but during the troublous times which followed, the Heke War, &c, they were residing in Auckland. Shortly after they settled at Whangarei, but being burned out there by the Maoris, they again went to reside at the Bay of Islands, and afterwards at both Tauranga and Auckland. In 1866 the whole family went to reside at Coromandel, for by this time a numerous family of sons and daughters had sprung up, and were engaged as shipwrights. In 1861, however, consequent on the war with the Maoris, all Europeans were ordered to leave Coromandel," and they again returned to Auckland to reside. Mr Anderson then engaged in trade berween Auckland and Coromandel, and it was while on a journey to Coromandel in either 1862 or 1863 he lost his life, being drowned. At the opening of this goldfield they were amongst its pioneers, and have resided amongst us from that time, Mrs Anderson was the mother of twelve children, three of whom were born in Australia, and nine in New Zealand; of these cix are now living, viz., two sons and four daughters, while the grandchildren and great grandchildren are fairly numerous. Gradually the old ?andmarks?those who have been the pioneers of this colony?are passing away, and the death of each lessens the links which bind the rising generation to those who were instrumental in laying the foundation of settlement in New Zealand. The name of Mrs Anderson, will, however, long live jn the memory of all with whom she came in contact, as she was esteemed and beloved for her many sterling qualities. Mary Ann Broughton immigrated to from Sydney to Hokianga on the Nimrod with Baron de THIERRY in October 1837.5
