Edward McGlashan (c.1818-1889)

Edward and his family emigrated from Australia on the Alpha on 17th January 1850. Edward owned a block of land in Maori Hill, which in 1856 he sold to his brother John McGlashan ( part of this land would later be gifted to the Presbyterian Church to establish a school for boys, John McGlashan College). Edward and his family then moved to The Mill in the Leith Valley.
