Biographical history
Rev. Molesworth Jeffery (1811-1900) was the fifth son of Bartholomew Jeffery, Governor of the Royal Exchange, St Thomas's Hospital and Bartholomew's Hospital. He was privately educated, and several of his brothers studied at Cambridge University. He served in the army for several years before working with the family trading firm before emigrating to Van Diemen's Land in 1834. He bought property at Lachlan, near New Norfolk, where he built the house Bournbank (completed in 1845), and became the first J.P. for the district. In 1865 Jeffery was the architect for a new school-house and chapel in the village of Lachlan. He was elected a Fellow and Life Member of the Royal Society of Tasmania in the early 1870s.
