I am writing this query to see if any othr Harvey researchers have come across this william Harvey. Charles harvey children were said to be according to some researchers as; 1) Thomas Harvey 2) Charles harvey 3) John holcombe Harvey 4) James harvey 5) William Harvey This information is based on some speculation as well as some other sources that surmise who his children may be. In searching Harveys I came across 7 Harvey's in the SC Laurens County Area from about 1772 to 1790. Some sources state that the Harvey's in this area were brothers to Charles Harvey and Charles himself. After much research and several resources on these families it appears these Harvey's are all brothers and possibily sons and grandsons of Charles Harvey Senior. The Harvey's in this area that appear to be sons are ; 1) Thomas harvey in this area who died there in 1782. 2) James harvey who died there during Rev. War service and was not married. 3) William Harvey there in 1775 but no deeds after that date. May have gone back to virginia as did Charles harvey junior. 4) philemon Harvey stayed in Laurens County and moved to Franklin County Indiana where he died with his sons. 5) John Harvey moved to Franklin County GA with his son Charles Harvey and died in Franklin Co. GA about 1806-1808. 6) Littleberry Harvey who moved to Catahoula Parish Louisiana with Charles B. Harvey son of John Harvey his brother. 7) Charles Harvey Junior who stayed in VA until 1782 and then moved to GA about 1783-1787 St. George Parish. 8) Susannah Harvey who married Vincent Glass. Several researchers helped in contributing information as well as documents that point to these relationships. I had thought that William Harvey had died after 1775 of a military Census there shows William there with these other Harvey's. There are no deeds there for William Harvey. There is however a marriage in Charolette county VA for a William P. Harvey and a Milly Brown May 18, 1790 Charlotte County VA.. The P. may stand for Philemon. The wife's name is similar to the surname believed to be the wife of Philemon Harvey of Indiana. Another researcher revealed she may be a Brown who was found in Laurens Co. SC or a Brown line that was in Lunenburg County . VA.. Joel Vincent Harvey who lived among these Harvey's and appears in a deed in Laurens County in 1779 with Charles Harvey son of John Harvey is 15 years old. One of these Harvey's in this area is his father. It could be James who died during the service of the Rev. War or it could be Thomas who died in 1782 in Laurens County SC.. It could also be William Harvey who went back to virginia and lived also. John Bennet's bodie says in his article on the Harvey family in Historical southern families that there was a William Harvey in Charolette county who was idenitical to William Harvey junior who is suppose to be a son of William Harvey who moved to edgefield County SC.. Now if this Harvey is a son of William Harvey senior or Charles Harvey junior I do not know at this time. I do know with the William P. Harvey being married there that William Harvey son of Charles Harvey Senior did live long enough to have children. Charles Harvey Junior lived in Charlotte County VA and Joel Vincent Harvey was married in Charlotte County VA in 1782 to Nancy Amzi Clayton. Joel then went back to GA where he is found with other Harvey's from Laurens County and Franklin and Jefferson County GA. Early tax index's and land lottery show the following Harvey's in Jefferson and Franklin County GA from about 1789-1820. Rev. War Land grants in GA show that John Harvey and his son Charles Harvey had land grants in Richmond and then Franklin County GA.. Littlebery Harvey and Joel Vincent Harvey had land grants in Richmond also. My Thomas G, Harvey who I believe is the Thomas Harvey who married Susannah Aldridge in Columbia Co. GA in 1798, , Columbia county that was formed from Richmond County. In the 1790 Census of Laurens Co. SC John Harvey appears as does Littleberry Harvey as a Elizabeth Harvey with 5 females. This Elizabeth is probably the widow of one of the Wiilam , Thomas, or James harvey o, sons of Charles Harvey senior. The tax digest for georgia show that from 1789-1799 the following Harveys are in Jefferson and Franklin County GA.. These records are not complete.

Greg, you seem to have done a lot of work on the Georgia Harveys. I'm still trying to find any infromation on my Albert G. Harvey, b. Feb 1810, d Nov 16, 1855, buried in Monroe Co., Ga. He had six children, which I know very little about (except the oldest, my ancestor). Any help? Thanks! -- James P. "Jim" Lynch, jplynch@crosslink.net
