The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

Ferrall, Robert

Ferrall, Robert, Farmer, “Te Whareti Farm,” Parkhurst, Kaipara. The subject of this notice is a son of the late Mr. George Ferrall, who was for many years a member of the Auckland Provincial Council from 1863 up to the time of his death. Mr. R. Ferrall was one of the first that went into the “King Country” before and after it was opened to Europeans. He has executed many large works in the North Island, but what he looks back upon with most pleasure is being the builder of the first water-works in the town of Onehunga, the place he was brought up in. Mr. Ferrall, who has six sons and three daughters, married the daughter of Dr. Hamilton, of Waikato, one of the oldest colonists in New Zealand. Dr. Hamilton took an active part in the Waikato war, and on one occasion his life was saved by the celebrated chief Rewi.
