Additional Comments:

Date of birth stated to be 2 February 1743 (o.s.) in book, this has been corrected to new style date. I have been unable to identify the title of the book. http://history-nz.org/discovery1.html gives a quote from something that gives the description but does not say where the quote comes from.
