Mr. James T. Wilson

Mr. James T. Wilson was born at sea in 1842 in the schooner “Duchess of Argyle.” He began life in New Zealand as a blacksmith in Auckland under his father. Subsequently he was engaged at the copper mines at the Kawau and Great Barrier Islands for twelve years. Mr. Wilson then established himself in business at Warkworth, and then joined his brother, Mr. N. Wilson, at the cement works, where they have one of the most successful industries in the colony.
