| Notes |
- Oates, Joseph, Farmer, Taumatu, Greytown East. Mr. Oates, who was born in Derbyshire, England, in 1817, is the third son of the late Mr. Samuel Oates, a Derbyshire farmer. Mr. Oates, senr., left his native land for Victoria in 1852, and after trying his fortune at the Ballarat and Bendigo diggings, where he had only indifferent success, he decided to try New Zealand. He landed in Wellington in 1856, and soon afterwards removed to the Wairarapa district. Mr. Oates, senr., who died in 1894, accomplished the feat of conveying the first mail to the Wairarapa, which crossed the Rimuaka Range by a narrow track, the vehicle being a wheelbarrow. Mr. Joseph Oates's farm, which has an area of some 600 acres, is considered one of the best properties in the Wairarapa valley. Mr. Oates married Miss Jury, daughter of Mr. John Milsom Jury, of Glendower, and has a family of two sons and two daughters. An enthusiastic volunteer, he is one of the best rifle shots in the district, having won quite a number of medals and cups. He has been the district representative at rifle meetings on several occasions, and fills the office of captain in the Carterton Rifle Corps.
