Establishing a timeframe for POHEPOHE

Pohepohe, son of Muriwhenua and Raumako; had two daughters, Ita and Pare Te Kanawa (alias Wikitoria).  Both were married to Wiremu Tamehana.  The first daughter died, and so Wiremu married her sister.

Wiremu Tamehana was born c.1805.  In 1839, he converted to christianity by Brown in Tauranga. Prior to this he was known as Tarapipipi.  He married Ita in 1839, and she died in 1840. He married Pare Te Kanawa soon after.  So Pohepohe can be compared to be in the generation of Te Waharoa, though he was probably markedly younger than him.  In 1839, Pohepohe has daughters of marriageable age.  He could have been anywhere between 35 - 50 years of age at that time.

A year later, Pohepohe is a signatory on the Waikato version of the Treaty of Waitangi, that was signed at Waikato Heads on April 11 & 26, 1840.  Other's related to him signed as well, the most noticeable signatories for the writer's purposes are Kukutai and of course Muriwhenua. Refer following table.

The above Muriwhenua, Ngati Haua from Aotea; is obviously the same Muriwhenua in Angas's painting, "Muriwhenua 1844" published in The New Zealanders (1848).  

If Pohepohe is between the estimated age range of 35 - 50, it would still be possible for his father to be alive, and to be aged between 60-80 years of age.   The description of Angas's MURIWHENUA is that he was between 80 - 90 years old; and if this is so, then it is highly possible that the subject is Muriwhenua, father of Pohepohe.
