FOOTNOTES:[1]Known also as Toi-Kai-rakau.[2]One-taunga (Mooring’s beach)[3]Subsequently the first Maori king.[4]The marriage of Kati with Matere Toha, brought about in accordance with ancient Maori custom, was designed to perpetuate the peace made between the Northern and the local tribes. The high rank of both Kati and Matere Toha, and their personal influence and worth, made the union a great success from the diplomatic standpoint. The marriage was one of the epoch-making events of local Maori history, and was a happy consummation to all the events that had gone before. Kati and his wife lived and died at Mangere. At their death they were interred in the old cemetery near by the venerable church which was erected by the Maoris on the Mangere hillside in those far-off days as a token of the advent of Christianity among their people.[5]He was made an archdeacon in September, 1844.[6]SeeAppendix Irename of city.[7]Captain William Cornwallis Symonds;[8]John Johnston, M.D.;[9]Captain David Rough;[10]William Mason;[11]George Clarke, jun.;[12]Felton Mathew.
