of his mother's brother Pokaia, after whom he was named, at the battle of
Moremonui (also known as Te Kai-a-te-karoro and Te Haenga-o-te-one), at
Maunganui Bluff, in 1807 or 1808. He was the third born child, his brothers, Tuhirangi and Peia,
were considerably older. His sister, Taingarui, died at an early age. His major tribal affiliation was
with Nga Puhi, and also with the hapu Ngati Rahiri, Ngai Tawake, Ngati Tautahi, Te Matarahurahu
and Te Uri-o-Hua. Although as a third son he did not have the authority of the first born, his mana as
a descendant of Rahiri was beyond dispute, and it was further enhanced by the reputation he gained
through his own energy and prowess.
Hone marena Ono TeRiria [4778] [MRIN: 1753], daughter of Te Pahi [4781]. Ono was christened on 9
Aug 1835. Another name for Ono was Lydia.
Rapunga Kupu Akoako: (korero taken from "GENi: Hone Heke") Heke's marriage to Ono,
daughter of Nga Puhi leader Te Pahi, occurred during the years of calm spent with the missionaries.
They had two children, a son, Hoani (Hone), and a daughter, Marianne. Heke and Ono were
baptised on 9 August 1835, Ono taking the name Riria (Lydia), and Heke the names Hoani (usually
rendered as Hone) and Wiremu, although he continued to use his birth name, Pokai. The baptismal
record described their 'Quality, Trade or Profession' as 'Lady' native chief' and 'Gentleman 'native
chief'. Marianne's baptism followed on 23 August. These baptismal names all came from the family
of Henry Williams. Heke acquired a deep knowledge of the Scriptures, and often referred to them in
later years. His powers of oratory led him to become a lay reader of the Church of England. Riria
died soon after her baptism, and their two children did not survive infancy.
