Thomas Smellie (minister)
Thomas Smellie () was a Presbyterian minister and educator who had a substantial career in South Australia.
Smellie was sent out to South Australia by the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland to replace Rev. Peter Mercer, minister of the Port Adelaide church on the north-west corner of Marryatt and Leadenhall streets, who had transferred to Victoria to become first acting principal of Ormond College of the University of Melbourne. Smellie was ordained and inducted on 16 December 1861, but resigned before the 1865 union of Presbyterian churches, but stayed on until replaced by Rev James Henderson on 18 April 1867.[1]
