| | Joseph and Jessie Herbert |
 | | Their first child James Todd Herbert, was born 28 November 1859 in Currie, in the Parish of Currie, Mid Lothian, and he was followed by two daughters, Elizabeth, born 15th April 1862 (she died in 1863), and, Charlotte, born 21 April 1864. |
 | | Herbert was well known for years on the river as a storekeeper and farmer and there was not a more hospitable couple in the district. |
 | | Herbert, who, though a "little body" as they say in her parts of the world, was a most resolute and fearless woman, and gave an instance of this during the threatened rebellion among the natives at Waima, Hokianga, some twenty five years ago. |
