Mr. J. A. Taylor

Mr. J. A. Taylor was born in 1849 in the Orkney Islands, where he passed his early years in following farming. He came to Port Chalmers in 1868, in the ship “Helenslea,” from Glasgow. After staying about a year in the neighbourhood of Dunedin, he removed to the Duntroon district, and settled on the tablelands six years later. At that time there were very few permanent settlers, who were large growers of grain, and wheat sold at from 4s to 5s per bushel. Mr. Taylor was married in 1889, to Miss Don, and has three sons and two daughters who drove daily to the Duntroon school, seven miles distant, and travelled over 30,000 miles in that manner.
