What is in common with the American civil war, mapping UK counties in preparation for a Spanish invasion, surveying a tunnel linking Switzerland to Italy, paying the British fleet during the capture of Havana in Cuba, a shooting event that changed British law, trading English goods in New Zealand during the 1840s, building one of the Southern HemisphereÕs largest one-man enterprises, transforming motherhood, gifting Brooklands gardens to New Plymouth, and pioneering aerial topdressing to transform high country sheep farming?
They all have a part to play in the ancestors of Jennifer King, who emigrated to New Zealand in the 1840s. The emigrants include those from the Saxton, Shaw, St George, Chilman, and King families who were early settlers of New Plymouth.
