David Kennedy Hutchison and Grace Adams

[mineyours+ours]

Hi Aye Right,

I'm a descendant of David Kennedy Hutchison and have information but am not sure what you have from previous members.  Am also wondering if you can help me with the Scottish part of the family.  I have sent a pm to you but not sure if I completed correctly. If you could let me know if you received or not.

Kind regards,  M

Hi Aye Right
Just read your post & you are talking about my great great grandparents. Have been without a computer for a couple of years so I suppose you have all the info you need.
We  went to a family reunion a couple of years ago for the descendants, which was awesome.
Hope to hear from you.

Hi I'm new to roots hat but am looking for D.K.Hutchisons cause of death. I've found record of him fighting inntaranaki wars  approx 1866. I suspect he ended up in Fiji on one of his ships that were establishing a trade route for the cotton being transported to NZ. Is this correct. Pls contact me with any info. Kind regards. Rhi

To Rhiannon840 Hi to you David Kennedy and Grace Adams Hutchison were my great great grand parents here in NZ. Their son young David was my great grandfather. David Kennedy and young David Hutchison in tow went around the Pacific chasing after a ship called the Stanley they had built, a dirty rotten scoundrel had taken it out for sea trials without paying for it. They called into Fiji on one of their calls and it is there that David Kennedy Hutchison became gravely ill and died of a suspected twisted bowel. Young David 16 yrs old had to get a ship firstly to Sydney then back to Auckland New Zealand. Sadly it was the end of the business he had built. Hope this helps

Hi, I would really love to hear what you discovered about David; as I'm also a descendant of his, through Grace and David's daughter Mary.

Yes that would be great to exchange some info! I'm new to this roots site though, and it says I'm not allowed to send private messages, but I'm not sure why. I'm in Australia, but am a kiwi, and all the rest of my family are (mostly) still living in and around the Waikato.
