OGILVIE, JAMES (1795?-1828), wine merchant, was 'a native of Banff, North Britain, of very respectable connexions, and no small pretensions to gentility'. He arrived at Hobart Town with his wife and family in the Britomart on 4 February 1822, bringing a letter of recommendation from Downing Street and some £1500 in goods and cash. Within a month he opened a shop at Harrington Street, Hobart, largely stocked with the merchandise he had imported. On 3 February 1823 he was elected to the committee for establishing a Presbyterian church in Hobart with Rev. Archibald Macarthur as its minister. He was an original shareholder in the Bank of Van Diemen's Land and signed the petition to the British government requesting that Lieutenant-Governor William Sorell remain in office.
