The "Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society", for the year 1891, shows Nathaniel Divine listed in the muster roll of Capt. Dimock's Company at Durham, New York in 1755. (Nathaniel lived in Kent, Connecticut, which is only 3 miles from the New York border.) The same collections, Vol. X, 1905, shows Nathaniel, Joseph, and Timothy Divine in Capt. McNeal's Company, Third Regiment in the Campaign of 1759. Nathaniel enlisted April 2 and died Aug. 10; Joseph enlisted March 30 and was discharged Dec. 1; Timothy enlisted April 6 and was discharged Dec. 1.


From Albert Divine's letter to Lois Divine, dated February 14, 1992:

"In August of 1759, these two above mentioned brothers, Samuel and Joseph, along with a third, younger brother, Timothy, with the father Nathaniel, were with a small party of continentals on patrol, a little north of Fort Ticonderoga. They were ambushed by a group of French & Indians. Nathaniel was killed outright; and Timothy was taken prisoner to Quebec. Samuel and Joseph were among the few survivors to escape that day, and they fled back to Ft. Ticonderoga. They were immediately released from further duty and returned home to Waramaug (near Kent), Connecticut. They were of course devastated. Before the winter was over they settled up their father's estate and assuming their younger brother Timothy had also been killed, they probated his small estate and left immediately for unsettled territory on the Pennsylvania border of New York State, then called Wallkill. They were there in 1760, where Joseph married in the local Dutch Reformed Church. (The Dutch spelling of his name was not immediately recognizable.) Samuel also married around this time, and Eleazer and Nathaniel are but two of his ten children. Both Samuel and Joseph were very reluctant to participate in the War of the Revolution because of their personal loss at Fort Ticonderoga, and Joseph was able to claim exemption because of age (born 1728-30); Samuel was a little more vocal, got into trouble, swearing and cursing the war, he was accused of being a Tory and sentenced to be hung at Kingston; but then Gov. George Clinton of New York knew them personally because they had been under command of his brother Col. James Clinton at Fort Ticonderoga. He wrote a reprieve, and Samuel, along with another younger brother James, spent the early part of the Revolution in jail at Kingston, and later was sent to a Prisoner of War camp in New Hampshire.

"My grandfather told me that Samuel lies buried under what is now the Neversink Reservoir, Sullivan County. His brother Joseph was buried in a small family cemetery at Divine Corners in which all the stones were eventually removed by a farmer shortly after 1900. Joseph died in 1802 and Samuel died only a few years later. When I visited the site in an attempt to locate this cemetery in 1958, the site had grown into a forest, and its general location could only be pointed to by my grandfather."
