William Pascoe Crook (1775–1846), a missionary, schoolmaster and pastor was born in Dartmouth, Devon, England on 29 April 1775. He was the first missionary to document the Marquesas Islands in an ethnographical account after he was sent by the London Missionary Society, embarking on board the Duff in June 1797. Originally he was accompanied by John Harris but was left to his work alone when Harris travelled with the ship to Tahiti after Crook had landed in Vaitahu Bay. Source: Wikipedia
