Williams entered the Royal Navy at the age of fourteen and served in the Napoleonic Wars. He went to New Zealand in 1823 as a missionary.

His younger brother, William Williams, was also a missionary in New Zealand and known as "the scholar-surgeon".

Although Williams was not the first missionary in New Zealand – Thomas Kendall, John Gare Butler, John King and William Hall having come before him – he was "the first to make the mission a success, partly because the others had opened up the w ...

New Zealand State Highway 10
State Highway 10 (SH 10) is a road in the Far North District of the North Island of New Zealand. Both ends of the road adjoin . With the exception of SH 1, it is the country's northernmost state highway. Route SH 10 begins at a junction with SH 1 near Pakaraka, east of Ōhaeawai, and initially runs north to pass Kerikeri and Paihia to the west (the latter accessed via ). Passing the Bay of Islands, the road turns to the north-west and reaches the coast at Whangaroa Harbour, then heads inland again before meeting the coast once more at the Taipa-Mangonui settlements. From there it runs west-south-west to its terminus at a junction with SH 1 at Awanui, north of Kaitaia. As with several roads in the Far North District, the highway is prone to flooding at some times of the year. Heavy rains in August 2012 caused major subsidence to undermine parts of the highway near Kaeo, which required substantial repair. The road is narrow in places, due to the nature of the landscape a ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Flagstaff War
The Flagstaff War, also known as Heke's War, Hōne Heke's Rebellion and the Northern War, was fought between 11 March 1845 and 11 January 1846 in and around the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. The conflict is best remembered for the actions of Hōne Heke who challenged the authority of the British by cutting down the flagstaff on Flagstaff Hill (Maiki Hill) at Kororāreka (now Russell). The flagstaff had been a gift from Hōne Heke to James Busby, the first British Resident. The Northern War involved many major actions, including the Battle of Kororāreka on 11 March 1845, the Battle of Ōhaeawai on 23 June 1845 and the siege of Ruapekapeka Pā from 27 December 1845 to 11 January 1846. Causes The signing of the Treaty of Waitangi started on 6 February 1840, and conflict between the Crown and Māori tribes was to some extent inevitable after that. Ostensibly, the treaty established the legal basis for the British presence in New Zealand. However, the actions of Hōne Heke and Te ...
