have no idea where James o'connor was from

he was ship wrecked in Tahiti in 1792 ,the ship was called Mathilda the captains name was weatherhead

He was killed early 1820's fighting in the local wars,he died in Bora Bora and was the first European to settle there,Matira point was where his home was,and was name loosely after the ship Mathilda.

Any information would be much appreciated,he was my Great Grandfather x7
