• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY Thomas Redpath was born in Cranshaws, Scotland on 3 March 1829, the fourth child of George and Elizabeth Redpath. At the time, the Parish of Cranshaws in Berwickshire had a population of about 130 and comprised three farms. George Redpath was a shepherd on one of the farms. In the 1851 Census, Thomas was working as an agricultural labourer on a farm at Whittinghame, East Lothian. The farmer, James Darling, farmed 4000 acres and employed ten people. Whittinghame was about 20 km from Cranshaws. Thomas Redpath and his common law wife Ann Logan (or Leith) had their first child, Elizabeth Redpath in 1856. Thomas and Ann decided to migrate to New Zealand and after organising their passage, got married in Edinburgh on 29 May 1860. A few days later on 2 June 1860, Thomas, Ann and Elizabeth departed from Clyde (Glasgow) on the Robert Henderson, bound for Port Chalmers in Otago. Ann, who was registered under the name Logan, was pregnant again. The Robert Henderson was an Aberdeen Clipper: 522 gross tons, length 158 ft (48.15m) x beam 28.3 ft (8.62m), a three masted rigged vessel, wooden hull, built in 1857, fitted out with every convenience for the comfort of passengers. Passengers for the voyage included: 210 adults, 62 children from 1 to 12 years, and 13 infants. There were three births and 11 deaths during the voyage. There were about 40 cases of scarlet fever on board, and 4 deaths from that disease, the last occurring on the 26 July 1860. The ship arrived in Otago on 3 September 1860, and on the 4 September Ann gave birth to a son, George Redpath, while still on board the Robert Henderson. The ship and passengers were initially kept in quarantine upon arrival because of the scarlet fever. Otago had a population of about 12,000 in 1860, but this had grown to over 30,000 in December 1861 after gold was discovered in May 1861. Ann and Thomas initially lived at Taieri, before moving to Akatore and finally Mount Stuart when Thomas obtained a Crown Land Grant in 1864. Thomas and Ann had a further six children after they settled in New Zealand. Thomas died at home at Mount Stuart on 19 July 1889 and was buried at Waitahuna. The Mount Stuart farm was taken over by May Redpath and her husband Hugh Crozier in 1903 after May's older brother Thomas, who had been managing the farm, committed suicide.
