McGregor - Thames Coromandel

Hi,

My name is Bronwyn and my Great, Great, Great Grandmother was also Hohipaea Nga Puhi. We have one image of her with the Moko dressed in European clothing. We would really like to learn more about her and where her and Alexander Mcgregor may be buried. Hohipaea is the link to our Maori heritage in our family history. We have information that she was a Maori Chiefness but are unsure if this is true. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you:)

Kia Ora,

I am descendent of Alexander McGregor and Hohipaea Ngapuhi.

My line of descant is as follows:
Alexander James McGregor + Hohipaea (Sophia) Ngapuhi
- My Great, great, great grandparents
James Alexander Hemi Paritu Te Riaki McGregor + Heneti Te Wairama Te Ohaere
- My Great, great Grandparents
Christina McGregor + Wiremu (Bill) Connor
- My Great Grandparents
William Connor + Dorothy Jessie Margaret Coxon
- My Grandparents


I have just been in touch with The Whakatohea Tribal Database Admin, and I was informed that Hohipaea's mother is not Matarena Waitangi, a common mistake it appears. I am still researching her mother's name, possibly Puata, but I have yet to confirm this.
Her father's name is Tuterangikawhia, this was obtained from a Maori Land Court document dated April 1st 1867, in which Hohipaea was making a claim for her mother's land at Te Tawa and Te Ruahoata in Opotiki.

I hope this helps

Also,
I have found a Cemetery record for Alexander McGregor at the Symonds Street Cemetery at the corner of Symonds St and Karangahape Rd in Auckland.
Although some of the information contained here does contradict itself.
There is a photo of the obelisk / headstone attached to the record.
You can search for it here:

Hohipaia Ngapuhi was my great, great, great Grandmother and I am wondering please if there is any information on her ancestors?  I can't work out if her parents were  Tuterangi Kawha and Puata Kawha OR Takoto Waimua and Materena Waitangi? Does anyone know if she was adopted? Any information you'd be happy to share would be greatly appreciated! I'd like to follow Hohipaia's ancestry back as far as possible

Thank you so much for your time
