Duccorron's book "The Boy King of the Cannibal Islands" published 1932 was written about John Hart(2) and the birth of his son John Ralph Hart who was the first white child born in the Marquesas Islands Islands and who the natives kidnapped to be their king. I have fairly complete information about John Ralphs' and Georges' decendants who are numerous and live on the islands of Tahiti and Raiatea in French polynesia. I know very little about Alice Hart who moved to New Zealand with her mother after her father John Hart (2) died. John Hart (2) grew cotton in the Marquesas islands and was considered an extremely powerful and wealthy man. He tried to have the Marquesas Islands annexed by the USA. Any Information on this very unusual branch ??
