James Macandrew, the son of a merchant, Colin Macandrew, and his wife, Barbara Johnston, was baptised in Aberdeen, Scotland, on 18 May 1819.
Macandrew endorsed this demand, declaring that 'we have two governments, and so need to dispense with one.' He carried the nomination meeting decisively, but a poll was demanded.
Yet there was an air of unreality in the alliance between Macandrew, the separatist, and Vogel and the runholders, for the latter increasingly saw the provinces as obstacles to progress.

 MACANDREW, James - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
Macandrew was born in Aberdeen, educated at the Ayr Academy, and trained in London for a mercantile career.
Macandrew was indeed addicted by temperament to new enterprises both for himself and for the public, first shipping wool direct to London, projecting an Otago Bank, which could not be floated owing to legal restrictions, and, instead, issuing his own notes (which obliged his rival, Johnny Jones, to do the same).
In 1865 Macandrew was returned again to Parliament to represent Bruce: he remained a member for the rest of his life, for Clutha, Dunedin City, and Port Chalmers.

 BARR, James - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
James Barr was born at Glasgow in 1820, the son of Peter Barr, manufacturer, and Helen, née Graham.
Little is known of his early life beyond the autobiographical details he later contributed to the Otago Witness, under the pseudonym of Peter Gentles, which suggest that he was brought up in accordance with the strict standards of the day.
He was not interested in colonial politics but, as an ardent provincialist, he supported Macandrew, the Otago Superintendent, in the stirring campaign of 1876 against the abolition of the provincial system of government by the General Assembly.

The other principal memorial in the church is a very small and rather disappointing tablet in the chancel to James J MacAndrew, d 1915, and his wife Barbara, d 1929.
James J MacAndrew almost single-handedly organised the fund-raising campaign for the restoration of the church in 1879, himself donating £275 of the total of £931 spent on the work.
He was also responsible for the building of the first school in the Parish - the building, now a private residence, which stands adjacent to the churchyard (children had formerly been taught in a barn next to the rectory!).

 Johnny Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The decline of whaling forced him to close the Waikouaiti station in the late 1840s, and he concentrated on developing his farm which soon became an important food source for the new settlement of Dunedin, where he moved to in 1854.
During the early days of settlement in Dunedin, Jones' shipping and trading interests set him up as the chief rival to James Macandrew.
During the 1860s, Jones' interests again turned to shipping, firstly as a shareholder of the short-lived Otago Steam Ship Company, and then through his own venture, the Harbour Steam Navigation Company, which served the ports of Dunedin, Port Chalmers, and Oamaru, and later also traded with Hokitika on the West Coast.
