Alexander GRAY
&
Kotiro HINERANGI
This plaque is at the rear of the old church in Russell New Zealand. While both are buried separately on the church grounds, their actual gravesite plots are not known maybe due to wooden markers that have long since gone. Their children with descendants are Alexander, Margaret, Sophia and Jane. After Alexander GRAY died in 1839, Kotiro (Mary) married William LORD and they had one daughter Lucy LORD. Along with Sophia and Jane these three women were painted by prominent early NZ painters.
