The Life of Henry Williams.

Henry Williams was born on the 11th of February 1792 he was the fifth Child of his Family and their third son, before he was born there were 2 boys and 2 girls. When time passed he had eight siblings. Imagine having all of those siblings growing up since he had that many siblings and pretty strict parents and rules he had to learn how to lie and be quite stubborn for his own good. 

Henry Williams grew up in a pretty rich family, He had a great education and he learnt how to speak more than 2 languages when he was young.

When he was growing up he had 9 other siblings he was living with.

Once he was 14 he went to the Navy for nearly 10 years working till the dawn of the dust each day every day training until you puke, doing that  for 10 years or your life. He would have to do exactly what he was told or he would get whipped with the belt, but it was probably with it because he would get paid with thousands of dollars each day for working, well that's what he did.                                             

Once he was the translator the treaty was made.

Not long after that he traveled round all of New Zealand in a ship for over a year getting people to sign the treaty,  with blood boiling meat thirst pirates travelling around you in circles trying to hunt you down and murder you. 

Later on in his life he found his wife Marianne, and they then had 10 kids running around wanting as much attention as they could get!

When he got older he started to be a translator for James Busby, all of the English used to call him four eyes (because he had spectacles.)

Once he was a translator as his Job James Busby got sick and he had a heart race as fast as a flash, so he struggled to get to each and every meeting he had about complaints and what they wanted  about the treaty, 

What Henry really liked was tabako, that was his favorite part of his Job getting which is getting tabako. (Tabako is something like cigarettes.) That's what all of the Maori and English used to have. 

He was a great guy Once he got older he got quite sick and died on 16th July 1867.
