Anne Chapman (missionary)

Anne Maria Chapman (nee Maynard, 13 January 1791 – 12 December 1855) was an English Anglican missionary in New Zealand. Chapman and her husband gave hospitality to early European explorers passing through on the route between Tauranga and the centre of the North Island. The most notable explorers and botanists who were assisted were John Carne Bidwell, Ernst Dieffenbach, and William Colenso. Chapman may have collected seaweeds specimens recorded in J. D. Hooker's Flora Novae-Zelandiae.
