Joseph Thomas (surveyor)
Captain Joseph Thomas (1803–?) was the chief surveyor for Lyttelton, Sumner, and Christchurch in New Zealand. He took up surveying after service in the British army, gaining the rank of lieutenant. In the 1840s, he explored many parts of New Zealand and worked for the New Zealand Company. This gained him employment with the Canterbury Association, which sent him to New Zealand in 1848.
