Biographies

DIVINE, NICHOLAS (1739?-1830), superintendent of convicts, was born in County Cavan, Ireland, the eldest son of Patrick Divine and his wife Amie, née Ellis. After some years of farming he went to England, and about 1782 became a superintendent on the government hulks at Woolwich; then, as a result of Governor Arthur Phillip's request for proper overseers in New South Wales, he was engaged with several others as a superintendent of convicts. He left England in September 1789 in H.M.S. Guardian, where he was recorded as Philip Divine. After the ship was wrecked off the Cape of Good Hope, he proceeded in the Lady Juliana and on arrival in Port Jackson in June 1790 at once took up his post as principal superintendent of convicts in Sydney. He was married to Margaret Smith, a sister of the wife of the notorious George Crossley, and had a son in 1791 and a daughter in 1794. By then he had been granted 120 acres (49 ha) at Bulanaming, near Newtown, and he received a further 90 acres (36 ha) there in October 1799; these grants he named Burrin Farm after his birthplace. As a tenant at will he also cultivated for some years land on either side of the stream which ran into Farm Cove, and by 1818 he had an additional 500 acres (202 ha) forty miles (64 km) from Sydney.
