edit"Nationality: Irish" ? I doubt it, he looks like very much a British Irishman.--218.103.179.98 (talk) 13:48, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

"We are one people"
editJust reverted edit by Wharera re this (and at Treaty of Waitangi). The URL he provided in his edit summary looks pretty compelling - but this 'fact' is so much of the story as understood by many - and apparently baked by A C. Orange ref - that we should not simply zap it, but instead give both sides, via some sort of "..as widely believed, but in fact looks pretty shaky" explanation. - Snori (talk) 12:50, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Birth Date
editHis original baptism register lists his birth date as 25-Sep-1792 and baptised on 09-Jan-1793 (Parents Samuel Hobson and Martha Jones). His birth date on this article is listed as the 26th. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.101.235.115 (talk) 16:57, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
