The Descendants of John Jeffreys, circa 1695.

20. Henry JEFFREYS [35324] (Henry⁵, Richard (Rev)³, Edward (Rev.)², John¹) was born on 5 Jul 1824 in India, was baptised on 5 Oct 1824 in Bombay Maharashtra India, and died in 1863 at age 39.

General Notes: Henry went to New South Wales . He also Visited New Zealand where he met his cousin Ellen Penelope Valpy whom he married

Henry married Ellen Penelope VALPY [35366], daughter of William Henry VALPY [35364] and Caroline JEFFREYS [35317], on 15 Jan 1852 in Christchurch Canterbury New Zealand. Ellen was born on 12 Feb 1827 in Hummeripore Uttar Pradesh India and died on 8 Sep 1904 at age 77.

General Notes: Ellen Valpy was born in Hummeripore (Hamirpur), India, on 12 February 1827, the second daughter of William Henry Valpy and his wife, Caroline Jeffreys. Ellen came from a talented family: there is evidence that her mother and her sisters Juliet and Catherine were accomplished artists, but Ellen seems to have been especially gifted. After her father's retirement from the East India Company she spent a year with her family travelling through Europe, receiving tuition from an Italian governess and drawing master. The influence of this early training is apparent in her later works.

In January 1849 the Valpys, with five of their six children, arrived on the Ajax in Otago, New Zealand. Valpy, with an income reckoned at £1,200 a year, was the richest man in the settlement. Mrs Valpy selected their suburban lot at the foot of the Caversham hill and a house named The Forbury was built there. It was at The Forbury on 15 January 1852 that Ellen Valpy
married her eldest cousin, Henry Jeffreys. Henry, as a member of the small Church of England community, was quickly enlisted by A. R. C. Strode, the resident magistrate, as a juror, a justice of the peace, and chairman of a committee designed to oppose Captain William Cargill's grip on the press.

Henry Jeffreys had property in New South Wales to which he decided to return after the death of Judge Valpy in September 1852. At this time Ellen Jeffreys was expecting their first child. A daughter, Caroline Emma, was born in January 1853, baptised in February and in March the Jeffreys family and a servant sailed for Sydney. Ellen and Henry stayed in Australia until 1860. In the interim several of their children were born and died. When Ellen returned to The Forbury in June 1860, she was accompanied by only one son, Henry Arthur. The following January another son, Edmond Francis, was born in Oamaru.

In 1863 Ellen Jeffreys was widowed. She continued to live in Oamaru near her mother and some sisters until 1873. In that year her son Henry was admitted to the Dunedin Lunatic Asylum suffering from a religious mania. Ellen Jeffreys moved with Edmond to Dunedin where Henry, a day patient, was able to visit his mother until his discharge from hospital in 1876. After Edmond died in 1887, Ellen Jeffreys's sole source of income was property to the value of £360 in Oamaru. To supplement her income she rented a studio in which to paint, intending to take pupils. Courage to advertise classes seems to have failed her and her only sales were to members of her and her sisters' families.

Ellen Jeffreys never joined the Otago Art Society or exhibited with it even though she was acquainted with its founder, William Mathew Hodgkins, and was friendly with many members. Her paintings survive in the Otago Early Settlers Museum and the Hocken Library. While she attempted oils of subjects such as Naples, most of her works are watercolours which depict local scenes: views of Dunedin from The Forbury, or houses in Caversham. Her paintings failed to capture a wide audience, her vision being of the ideal rather than the romantic. In the last decades of the nineteenth century fashionable artists strove to follow the example of William Turner. Those artists whose training was rooted in an earlier century were thought to be too natural and as a result their work was dismissed. It seems now that the paintings of Ellen Jeffreys have been undervalued; they are not merely of historical interest.

Ellen Jeffreys had evangelical beliefs which derived from her education and upbringing. She joined her sisters Arabella Valpy and Catherine Fulton in a variety of charitable schemes and movements including the Band of Hope Coffee Rooms, the Salvation Army and the Women's Christian Temperance Union. She died a Baptist at Mornington, on 8 September 1904.

The Wikipedia online Encyclopedia has this to say about the Ashanti Wars.
The Anglo-Ashanti Wars were a series of four wars between the British and the Ashanti Confederacy in 1826, 1873, 1893-1894 and 1895-1896.[1] The Ashanti, a major ethnic group in what is now Ghana, was one of the few African nations to offer substantial resistance to British imperial ambitions in Africa. Britain annexed the territories of the Ashanti and the neighbouring Fanti in 1896, after the fourth war. The Ashanti were finally overcome by the British in 1900 with the suppression of the Ashanti Uprising led by Yaa Asantewaa, Queen Mother of Ejisu.

General Notes: In a discourse on the Family, dated 2005, Katherine Helen Campbell [Thomson] Bowden wrote:
Campbell was fourteen when the family reached Australia and for a time worked for a mercantile firm. Then he set off for the Ballarat goldfields and with other young men developed a business packing in stores for the miners. This venture seems to have been profitable since in 1857 he moved to Otago and took the lease of Rocklands, an eighty thousand acre sheep station.
All went very well for some time and in 1861 he married Sarah Juliana Jeffreys, a daughter of the Reverend Charles Jeffreys a Cambridge scholar, Chaplain to the Valpy family. However within a few years "scab" had decimated the flocks of many Otago run holders and plagues of rabbits completed the devastation. Ironically "scab" had been introduced to Rocklands by a mob of undipped rams from the holding of cousin William Valpy. Dipping was not a simple affair then. Tobacco wash was the remedy and cartloads of firewood had to be transported thirty miles to heat the dip for just one day. By 1874 Rocklands was abandoned and with the help of an older brother Campbell was able to buy a small farm, "Hikutaia" out of Opotiki.
The journey north doesn't bear thinking about, already depressed and devastated by their failure the family took a boat," Ladybird" form Port Chalmers to Nelson, thence to New Plymouth. Onehunga, across Auckland by dray where they spent a week in a "temperance hotel" then set sail for Opotiki via Tauranga. There too problems arose, Campbell did not understand that Poverty Bay required very different treatment. Here regrowth after burning was alarmingly rapid and when he found that scab existed in the area Campbell pestered the government so much that he was given the job of Sheep Inspector, a somewhat lowly task for a man who had been one of Otago's largest run holders.
The farm was left in the care of Charlie the eldest son while everyone else moved north, first to Warkworth and later, in 1883 to Gisborne. Although, according to the letters, Charlie was "wasted" there, being" no farmer but a born mechanical engineer" the property became quite valuable. Agnes, his wife did not get on with the neighbours and persuaded Charlie to sell. I remember Aunt Agnes well and can quite understand that comment. Both subsequently spent many years as brethren missionaries in India but eventually retired to Auckland, a rather dour old couple.

General Notes: Catherine Henrietta Elliot Valpy was born on 19 December 1829, the third daughter of William Henry Valpy of the East India Company and his wife, Caroline Jeffreys. There is some confusion about her birthplace: it may have been Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, or Reading, Berkshire. She was educated mostly in England, by an uncle, the Reverend Peter French. At this time she was also influenced by another uncle, the Reverend Charles Jeffreys, who had strong evangelical beliefs. Her formal education was supplemented during 1845 and 1846 when the Valpy family toured Europe. The young Catherine's impressions of Italy were chronicled in painstaking detail in the earliest of her surviving diaries.

In January 1849 the Valpys, with five of their six children, arrived at Otago on the Ajax. On 22 September 1852 Catherine Valpy married James Fulton, at a joint wedding with her sister Juliet Valpy and William Mackworth. The ceremony took place at her parents' home, The Forbury, Dunedin. James Fulton held land in West Taieri, called initially Ravensbourne, and later Ravenscliffe, to distinguish it from the West Harbour suburb of Dunedin. Except for brief sojourns elsewhere, Catherine Fulton lived there for the rest of her life.

On arrival in Dunedin Catherine Fulton had been a member of the most prominent family of Anglicans in the Otago community. The ease with which she took her place in Presbyterian Dunedin may be explained by her familiarity with evangelical views. Not long after her marriage she and James Fulton joined the Presbyterian ministers' sustentation fund at West Taieri, where they took leading places in the congregation. Weekly church services were held for many years in their house, and Catherine Fulton started and taught a weekly Sunday school and Bible class which continued to meet under her guidance for nearly 70 years. She was also baptised at the Hanover Street Baptist Church in 1868. The baptism did not change her religious adherence, but she experienced a state of grace.

Throughout her marriage Catherine Fulton kept daily diaries in which she attempted to record dispassionately the fine detail of her daily life. The surviving diaries, which cover the years from 1857 to 1919, reveal the trials and successes of pioneering life. From them we learn that the bread often did not rise; that Dolla Richmond was a most 'aesthetic young lady & Isa Blackett also too-too'; and that household help was occasionally insolent. Catherine Fulton records her involvement in numerous organisations. She also describes the talents of her sisters and brother and their families, her husband and her eight children.

While facility with pencil or paintbrush was common to many members of her family, Catherine Fulton was best known for her musical talent and taste. She regularly played whatever instrument was available at the local church services, and the story of how her piano came to grief in the Taieri River before reaching its new home is recorded in her autobiography as well as by her brother-in-law, F. C. Fulton, one of the party responsible for its loss.

Catherine Fulton's beliefs led her to become involved in various social, political and religious movements. She organised and chaired the Tract Depot for a number of years, and started the Band of Hope Coffee Rooms which she helped run with her sisters Ellen Jeffreys and Arabella Valpy. She was a constant attender at Dorcas and mothers' meetings, and was deeply concerned for the moral and social welfare of the young people in the Otago Benevolent Institution and the Otago Industrial School, which she and her husband supported.

In May 1885 Catherine Fulton helped found the Dunedin branch of the Women's Christian Temperance Union and was its first president. She was the dominion president from 1889 to 1892, when she resigned because a constitutional amendment with which she agreed was not passed. The amendment stated that members of the WCTU could be eligible for election as officers only if they accepted the biblical doctrine of the Atonement.

Catherine Fulton was also an ardent advocate of women's suffrage and in 1891 records her and her friends' bitter disappointment when John Hall's Female Suffrage Bill was lost in the Legislative Council by two votes. She expressed her exasperation with Henry Fish, a Dunedin MHR, whose opposition to the bill was, in her words, 'outrageous and insulting'. She was also infuriated with Walter Carncross, MHR for Taieri, who introduced what she called a 'mischievous' amendment. He moved that women should be eligible to be members of the House of Representatives. As he had intended, the motion enraged members of the Legislative Council and the bill was defeated. Two years later in November 1893 when Catherine Fulton voted for the first time, Carncross did not get her vote, nor that of the many women she drove to the Outram polling station on election day.

Catherine Fulton's political sympathies were echoed by her husband, who, as a prominent politician, supported women's suffrage and the temperance cause. Her unmarried daughter, Caroline Fulton, was also a tireless worker for temperance, women's franchise and evangelical church organisations. After James Fulton died in 1891, Catherine Fulton managed the stud farm at Ravenscliffe, and continued to pursue her many interests until her own death on 6 May 1919.
