OCTAVIOUS [OCTAVIUS] HADFIELD. Came to Waikanae in 1839

[Paragraph 1]

The Christian Church was well established in Waikanae before Hadfield arrived. Waikanae was one of two communities on the coast with a building to worship in and the wrok being done in the area was widely known. Hadfield heard about it in Pahia in the Bay of Islands and was eager to come down.
