John
and Frances Perry
John Perry was b: 03 Aug 1795 in Wendron,
Cornwall, the son of John Perry  and Elizabeth Thomas. He was a
carpenter by trade and d: 04 Aug 1879 aged 84 yrs at New
Plymouth where he was bur: 07 Aug 1879 at Te Henui. He mar: 30 Oct 1820
in Wendron to Frances (Fanny) Pascoe (b: 31
Jul 1798 in Wendron and d: 16 Jul 1872 in New Plymouth aged 75 yrs and
bur: 19 Jul 1872 Te Henui cem.)
They immigrated to New Zealand on the "Oriental" in 1841
In 1848, Mr. John Perry, carpenter, and an old
settler of the province, made an attempt to smelt the iron sand by erecting a small furnace, on the
banks of a small stream, which flows into the Huatoki river on the
Carrington Road. Mr. Perry was encouraged in this work by Governor Grey,
who promised him a lease of the sand, if his experiments were
successful. Mr. Perry found a great difficulty in the fineness of the
sand, which made its way to the bottom of the furnace before the fire
could operate upon it with sufficient power to smelt it. Some small
quantities of iron were, however, produced by him, and forged into small
articles by Mr. Wood, the blacksmith.
After this, Mr. C. Sutton made some experiments in the same
direction on the town cliff, near to Mount McCormick, but was
unsuccessful.

x Edwin Thompson Perry (b: 27
Mar 1841 at sea d: 06 Jan 1922) mar: 13 Dec 1864 in New Plymouth
to Sarah Keturah Ford
31 Mar 1922: Hawera 7 Normandy Star:
"Fifty-one" writes: Just a few lines in remembrance of Taranaki's
pioneer settlers. The William Bryant landed the first pioneer settlers
at Moturoa on March 31, 1841, followed six months later by the Amelia
Thompson. Of the William Bryant's passengers I cannot say anything, but
I think there are one or two still alive. Of the Amelia Thompson I call
to mind Mr. William Dawson Webster, who was born on the voyage out; Mrs.
R. Jury (nee Miss Grylls), and Mr. John Grylls. Another birth took place
on the Amelia Thorny , son—Mr. Edwin Thompson Perry, who died a short
time ago in New Plymouth. Both infants were awarded i names
commemorative of the voyage— i Dawson after the. captain, and Thompson
after the ship. The foundation of Taranaki was well and truly laid by as
'sturdy a band of pioneers as ever sailed from the shores of the Old
Country' and to the few who are left of the first voyageurs I take off
my hat.
