Prudence A. Harvey (b. 4-6-1835 NC; d. 5-1-1901 TX) married on 2-13-1861 in Floyd Co., GA to M.L. Overby (b. 2-6-1839 VA; d. 2-25-1886 TX; buried in Ratler Cemetery, Mills Co., TX) In 1900, Prudence is in San Saba County, Texas with Ida & William Windland (dau & son-in-law). Their first three children were born in GA. I don't know where in GA yet, I just received a lead this morning that indicated the mother county from which Newton Co. was taken. MILITARY: 3-13-1862 M.L. Overby enlisted in Rome, Floyd, Georgia Confederate Roster. He was a private in Company G, 1st Regiment Georgia Volunteer Calvary. He was enlisted by Capt. John L. Kerr (Notes 226, Box# 46, Extraction# 2228). He was a private upon discharge. His extra duty was as a wagon driver.

Harvey, Martha Husley, James August 8, 1841 Harvey, Sarah Poaet, W. D. October 23, 1836 Harvey, John P Nealey, Naomi September 14,1837 I found these HARVEY marriages in Lumpkin Co., Georgia. If anyone claims these fine people as kin... would you look and see if they have a George M. or an Ezekiel P. HARVEY as a brother? I would appreciate it. My HARVEY's came from North Carolina to Lumpkin and Forsyth Co., GA. The dates below fit in with my HARVEY line as well. Thank you! Ellen researching: Martin, Pruitt, Clack, Harvey, Rockmore, Cash, Buffington, Hooper, Bailey, BoBo, Cheek, Adams, Lindsey, Early and many more...

Ezekiel P. Harvey was born in North Carolina. I do not know when he came to GA and I am still trying to find his family in the 1840 census and before. I will keep this information and see if I can find anything that matches up in the future. Thank you for your reply.

This message may not directly relate to genealogy but, we have all had family members for which this is applicable. By Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, May 23, 2000 -- The British called it "The Great Silence," as if there had never been a moment's silence in the world before. The Great Silence marked the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 -- the moment marking the armistice ending the fighting during World War I. All over Great Britain, people stopped where they were and reflected on the sacrifice of a generation in the trenches of the Great War. The Great Silence continues in England, and now something comparable will happen in the United States. "We want to put memorial back in Memorial Day," said Carmella LaSpada, event coordinator for the National Moment of Remembrance. The National Moment of Remembrance calls for all Americans to stop at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day -- wherever they are -- and take one minute to think of the Americans who died to ensure freedom around the world. LaSpada said the White House is asking radio stations to play "Taps" during the Moment. "We selected 3 p.m. because that is the time of the day that the majority of Americans are out enjoying the freedom for which these people died," she said. She said she hopes the moment becomes a new American tradition. DoD officials encourage service members to participate. "At Army posts, on ships at sea, on Air Force bases -- wherever people may be at that time -- they should participate in the moment," she said. www.whitehouse.gov/remembrance And folks you might also consider making a contribution to the WW II Memorial Campaign. Check it out at: www.wwiimemorial.com This day of all days it seems appropriate that we recognize what our fathers, grandfathers, brothers and friends did for us in the 1940s! Ernie Alf Boerne, TX

While searching for my "own" Joel Harvey b. 1779 in Westminster, Worcester Co., MA, I have managed to gather enough information about this fellow to present on-line with the hope that we can place him in one of our HARVEY lines. Here is what I have found thus far : Joel A. HARVEY b. 1838 in prob. Herkimer Co., NY. The birth year of 1838 is supported by Joel's biography as found in Memorial & Biographical History of Northern California - 1891 [I will post this biography when the Rootsweb system is accessible again ] and by the 1850 Federal Census which lists Joel's parents and siblings as follows : (LDS Film # 0017089 for 1850 Census - Town of Herkimer, Herkimer County, New York; Page 6/33 Dwell/Family = 214/223) Ira Harvey age 45 Male Farmer $6000 real estate value b. New York Malincia? Harvey age 41 Female b. New York Hellen Harvey age 19 Female b. New York Amanda Harvey age 17 Female b. New York Joel Harvey age 12 Male b. New York Norman? Harvey age 6 Male b. New York Gasary? Harvey age 2 Male b. New York Polly Harvey age 77 Female b. New York (ironically, a majority of the 1850 census information found on the film was beautifully clear with precise penmanship except for the work of the enumerator who did this portion - his spelling and penmanship were close to unreadable for some names - hopefully they will provide some clues for the correct people/spellings) 1860 Census HARVEY, Joel UT , Carson Co. , Carson Valley Pg 171 [before Nevada state established] 1870 Census HARVEY, J. A. CA , Solano Co. , Vallejo Pg 78 (probably will be found in 1880 and 1890 records as well --- since Joel A. did not show up in the California Death Index which began in July?, 1905 I believe he had died before then.) Highlights of the above mentioned biography are as follows : Joel A. HARVEY born in Herkimer County NY in 1838, came to CA overland in 1859. He lived in Placerville [El Dorado Co.,] and Vallejo [Solano Co.] Married Almeda L. HUBBARD in 1862 in CA. She was a native of Canada and daughter of Tily and Hulda (PARISH) HUBBARD of VT and NY who had left Michigan in 1849 for CA. Joel and Almeda had six children: Joel H., Amanda L. (Mrs. T. M. DOYLE), May A., Inez A., Blanch(e) L. and Maud F. They lived in Vallejo where Joel was elected County Clerk for Solano County and alternatively practiced law. He lived a quite interesting and diverse life, all in all. Joel H. HARVEY, son of Joel A. and Almeda, was found listed in the Calif. Death Index as being age 53 when he died April 17, 1918 which would place his birth year as about 1865. He was Deputy County Clerk for Solano County ca. 1891. I am hoping this will be enough information to begin adding Joel and his folks into one of the William b. 1614 or Thomas b. 1617 HARVEY lines of ENG >MA>NY. Let me hear from you!
