Hello List, It's been a while since I posted my query: I am seeking ANYTHING on Andrew HARVEY, who came to the Colonies in about 1773 (give or take a few years) from Scotland. He ended up on the estate of Col. David MASON in Sussex Co. VA, possibly as an indentured servant - possibly in the stables, by 1776. He was often used as a messenger, delivering papers and dispatches between the plantation and Williamsburg. He also lived for a while with MASON's son-in-law, Jordan RICHARDSON. He accompanied MASON into the war as a private. Col. MASON was taken ill early in the Rev. and Andrew HARVEY ended up re-enlisting in Caswell Co. North Carolina, and I have no evidence that he ever returned to the MASON estate. He married in Caswell Co. NC to Sarah [unknown] c1780 and then migrated to Russell Co. VA. He then moved on to Clay Co. KY (which became Perry Co. KY, and later, Breathitt Co. KY)in 1814, where he died c1839. I know that he had several heirs who were non-resident of KY: Patsy Alley, Katherine Alley, Sally Castle, Peter Alley, Jonathan Alley, & Henry Castle. I believe that these are the daughters of Andrew and Sarah [unknown] and their husbands: Martha (Patsy) HARVEY and Peter ALLEY, Katherine (Katy) HARVEY and Jonathan ALLEY, Sarah (Sally) HARVEY and Henry CASTLE. I know that Katherine & Jonathan ALLEY ended up in Indiana, and believe that the others did, too. Andrew had several 'natural' children by a woman in Russell Co. VA named Susannah HALL. These children were, as named (and recognized by Andrew) in court records at the death of Susannah HALL: 1) Peggy HALL 1810 Russell, VA 2) Wesley HALL 1812 Russell, VA 3) Jemimah HALL 1814 Russell, VA Additional court records of indentures show that the 2 girls, at least, used the HARVEY surname. Susannah HALL had older children that may have also been Andrew's : John, Betsy, Andrew & William. My research leads me to believe that these children used the HARVEY surname as Adults. My latest theories support the following descendency: 1 Andrew HARVEY (This is Andrew "the Fornicator") b: c1775 + Susanna HALL b: ? d: 1814 in Russell Co. VA 2 John HALL/HARVEY b: Abt. 1801 (John Harvey, Russell Co. 49, 1850 Census) + Mary (HARVEY) b: Abt. 1804 in VA 3 Ransom Harvey b: Abt. 1827 + Mary (HARVEY) b: Abt. 1826 4 Lewis Harvey b: Abt. 1853 4 Fernandes Harvey b: Abt. 1857 3 Nancy Harvey b: Abt. 1828 3 Andrew Harvey b: Abt. 1830 + Amanda (HARVEY) b: Abt. 1835 4 Anderson S.
