John Grono
John Grono (c.1767- 4 May 1847) was a settler, sailor, ship builder, ship captain, sealer, whaler and farmer who migrated to Australia in 1799 from Wales. Captaining the ship the ''Governor Bligh'', he would later go on to be the first European to fully explore and name parts of the south-western coast of New Zealand's south island including Milford Sound, Bligh Sound and Elizabeth Island.
==Early life and arrival in Australia==
Very little is known of Grono's life prior to his migration to Australia. He was born in Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales around 1767. Navy records show Grono was involved in a number of navy operations beginning in 1790 when he entered the HMS ''Royal William'' as an AB (Able Seaman), suggesting he was already an experienced sailor at this time. He was married to Elisabeth Bristowe on the 20th of July 1790 in Surrey, England. By 1793 he was promoted to the rank of Boatswain's Mate.
On the 7th of January 1798 Grono joined the crew of HMS ''Buffalo'' as an AB and later that year was again promoted to Boatswain's Mate. On this ship, John, his wife Elisabeth and his three children travelled to Australia, arriving in N.S.W. on the 4th of May 1799. That year he was transferred from the HMS ''Buffalo'' to the ''Colonial Vessel Francis'' (the first vessel built in Australia), where he served as First Officer.
By mid-1801 he had left the colonial vessels and gone into a farming partnership with James Ryan.
