Allan Cunningham stays in the home of Henry and Marianne William at Paihia New Zealand in 1826 Botanist Allan Cunningham . . . in 1826, . . . was visiting the bay of Islands and occupying a room in the house of Henry and Marianne Williams. On 4 November Cunningham returned to Paihia from a botanising expedition: It was not until after sun set that I reached Paiai when on observing an augmentation of the number of ships in the bay I learnt that of them were the New Zealand Company ships Rosanna and cutter Lambton, under the direction of Capt Herd who had come up from the Thames. Allan Cunningham, friend of Dumont d’Urville, and described by Marianne Williams as a very pleasant man, had sought permission from the New South Wales authorities to take his convict servant John Law with him on his investigation of the flora of New Zealand. He had applied in writing to colonial secretary McLeay but permission was refused. Source: http://www.wcl.govt.nz/wellington/rosannachap8.html
