Reuben Bason and his nephews Thomas and John, emigrated from England in the late 1840s [Note: actually believed to be 1855] and established a brickworks on the corner of China (now Bell) Street and London Street, in the flourishing port of Wanganui.
In 1900 John Bason and his wife Mary purchased a property at Rapanui just outside Wanganui, a small coastal area newly opened to farming. The Basons had no children and the following year they adopted Stanley, an illegitimate and unwanted baby. Their farm was bequeathed by Stanley to the City of Wanganui in 1966 and today the site the renowned Bason Botanic Gardens. See Stanley's entry for more details.
