      January 1860 - he was then aged 30. Daniel made his first home in Akaroa, being its first doctor and Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages and was a generous benefactor to the people and town of Akaroa in its formative years, presenting land for the first Anglican Church and the Literary Institute. Stephen became a nurseryman and in 1862 married Elizabeth Ellen Pavitt who emigrated to NZ on "Monarch" in 1849 and settled in Akaroa.

      From the "Lyttelton Times", January 28, 1860. Arrived January 27, ship Roman Emperor, 793 tons, Dewar, from London. Passengers: Steerage - Watkins, Stephen. Total of passengers 213. The Roman Emperor, one of the provincial emigrant ships arrived in harbour on Thursday a little before midnight. She has had a lengthened passage of 117 days, having left Gravesend on October 1. No incident of importance occurred during the voyage and the passengers are landed in good condition. The report of Mr. J.T. Rouse, surgeon superintendent of the ship, shows that no sickness of consequence appeared on board, though a few cases of chronic malady an some severe seasickness occupied the time fully. The births on board were three equal to the number of deaths, one the latter being an adult, a single young woman who was carried off by consumption of long standing. The matron, Mrs. Qualtrough, lands we regret to say in an extremely precarious state of health.
