Arrived in America in 1766. Married Jemima Dill, in Delaware on April 12, 1782. Jemima was daughter of Joseph Dill of Pennsylvania, Delaware and South Carolina. Divine moved to South Carolina prior to 1790. Children born in South Carolina are:
James Divine born April 20, 1793
Thomas Divine Jr. born February 24, 1795
Nancy Ann Divine born January 30, 1798
Margaret Peggy Divine born June 30, 1801
The Divines moved to Tennessee in 1820.
The second picture at right shows a stone placed by Thomas Divine descendant Milburn Divine. Milburn did a lot of research on the Divine family and her work is the basis for much of the work done since then; we all owe her a debt of gratitude for what she did. However, there is no evidence in any records available - including Milburn's own notes - to support the use of the name Lee as a middle name for either Thomas Divine, Sr. or Jr.
Additionally, there is no evidence that has been produced to support the claim that Thomas was a Revolutionary War soldier. Jemima's Rev. War Pension application was denied because there was not enough evidence to support her claim. There is a possibility that the evidence that was supplied was falsified and that is why the application was denied. More work is being done to establish whether the facts were true or false.
