About John Jefferis

Ann and John were farming at Court Farm, Whitchurch at the time of the 1851 census. They arrived in NZ with their 8 children on the Nourmahall on the 20 May 1858 after a 54 day trip non-stop. Ann had been very ill for most of the journey so they decided to stay in Dunedin rather than continue on to Auckland.

They farmed at North Taieri, extending their home as "Racecourse Hotel" during the Otago goldrush. They also purchased land at TeHouka and in 1870 moved to farm at Flag Swamp.
