John Brander was born in Elgin in Scotland in 1817 and died in Tahiti in 1877. Between these two dates, he left the misty land of his ancestors to traverse the oceans. He spent part of his youth in Tasmania, then returned to Scotland to collect his inheritance before embarking on maritime trade through the Pacific Islands, between South America and Australia. He met in Tahiti Alexander Salmon and married a few years later in 1856, one of his daughters Titaua related to the royal line of Pomare. Titaua! Titaua Salmon married John Brander on the day of Valentine in 1856. From this union nine children were born between 1856 and 1876. He developed trade between the islands of Polynesia thanks to its fleet of schooners that plied the different archipelagos. He also became a large landowner and was one of the notables of the island of Tahiti. He joined the French Dutrou terminal and vessels transported cargoes of products from the exploitation of Easter Island. John Brander died in 1877, leaving a wife and nine children, and a huge land holdings.
