Ledingham, George , Farmer, “Ledinghall.” Maheno. This old settler is a native of Aberdeen, Scotland, where he was born in 1829. He was brought up to farming on his father's farm, and came to Port Chalmers in September, 1858, by the ship “Jura.” Shortly afterwards he settled in the Otepopo district, with which he has since been closely connected. He had a short experience on the goldfields before fettling at Otepopo, and was one of the partners in the second claim in the celebrated Gabriel's Gully. Mr. Ledingham's property consists of 330 acres of freehold land, and is in a high state of cultivation. Mr. Ledingham has for many years been connected with the Presbyterian Church, and has held office as one of the managers. He has been connected with school committees, and was a member of local road boards before the inauguration of the county system. Mr. Ledingham was married, in 1868, to a daughter of the late Mr. Millar, of Stone House, Scotland, and has six sons and two daughters.
