Notes
Occupation
Was a surgeon with the Royal Navy. At one time was the surgeon-superintendent of convict-carrying vessels.It deeply shocked Rev R Taylor to find that a man of Espie's upbringing was content to adopt such a primitive mode of living. “Mr. Espy,” he says, at page 99 of his journal, “is the son of a naval surgeon of great respectability in Van Diemen's Land [Tasmania]. [His father was Robert Espie, R.N., at one time surgeon at Port Dalrymple and, earlier, surgeon-superintendent of convict-carrying vessels.]
