- ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
Philip Gidley King, 1758-1808, joined the British Navy in 1770 and after service on several ships was selected by Arthur Phillip as second lieutenant on the Sirius. Subsequently in 1788 and 1791 he went to Norfolk Island in charge of the settlement. In 1791 he married Anna Josepha Coombe and returned to England in ill health in 1796, but returned to New South Wales in 1799 with a dormant commission as Governor. He became the third Governor of New South Wales in 1800. In 1806 he resigned and sailed on H.M.S. Buffalo to England where he died in 1808.
Phillip Parker King (1791-1856) was the son of Philip Gidley King and Anna Josepha (nee Coombe). Phillip Parker joined the navy in 1807. In 1817 he married Harriet Lethbridge. In 1826 he sailed in command of HMS Adventure in company with HMS Beagle to survey the southern coast of South America. He settled in Sydney in 1832 where he owned land at St. Mary’s which, with his mother’s farm, become known as Dunhevid. His sister Mary married Harriet’s brother, Rev. Robert Lethbridge, and his sister Anna Maria married Hannibal Macarthur. - Scope and ContentI. PHILIP GIDLEY KING, RECORDS OF THE NEW SOUTH WALES COMMISSARIAT, 1801-1806
