- Description
John McLeay's arrival in New Zealand in 1858 was the beginning of an exodus of his immediate, and more distant, relatives from Scotland. This essay provides a background into their Scottish lives, traces through family stories and research, and gives an account of their movements and life in New Zealand. The story deals chiefly with three families: John McLeay's, Alexander McLennan's and John Souter's, but gives brief accounts of other family immigrants between 1870-1884, records details of the first generation born in New Zealand and looks at the life of one grandchild growing up in Southland.
