Recorded this 17th Oct. 1797 ~~~~ ===================================================================================================== Taking this deed into account then looking at what John Boddie wrote in his account of the Harvey's of Lunenburg County VA. in Historical Southern families volume 1. Under John Harvey he writes that John was a son of and Unknown Harvey and was born abt 1700. He also ahd a wife Mary. He talks about the deeds in Bedford County where they sell their land and move to SC. He lists deeds in Carven county. I have posted those deeds to the list already and believe they show that this was not John Harvey but the 7 Harvey brothers who came to Craven county then called 96th district then called Laurens County and Berkeley County SC.. The ones in Granville or Greenville county or district are the John Harvey whose wife was Mary and the Father of the four Harvey brothers and not the son John Harvey. The John Harvey in What was Craven county then Laurens also had a wife name Mary but had only 2 sons and 3 daughters total. He appears in the 1790 Census of SC in Laurens County with 3 daughters and 1 son under 16 years of age who I believe is my Thomas G. Harvey. Getting back to Greenville County. 1756 H610 GREENVILLE, SC HARVEY George TaxR 000 236 Muster Roll H610 GREENVILLE, SC HARVEY James TaxR 000 232 Muster Roll H610 GREENVILLE, SC HARVEY John TaxR 000 236 Muster Roll H610 GREENVILLE, SC HARVEY John TaxR 000 236 Muster Roll H610 GREENVILLE, SC HARVEY William TaxR 000 229 Muster Roll This then shows John Harvey the father and two of his sons possibly more. George Harvey may be another son of John Harvey and his wife Mary. William Harvey who married Elizabeth Mikel had no son George. All these Harvey's would have to be about 22 years old or older which means they were all born before or about 1734. James may also be another son becuase he would be too young to be a son of William Harvey from what I understand. William Harvey had a son John but am not sure when he was born. I believe he would be to young yet to be listed here. If the other John Here is a brother to William Harvey then this would cause a problem for the sons that John Boddie says may belong to John. John was thought to have gone to NC but this data would present a problem because Why would John be here in 1756 but his sons Michael and Thomas Harvey not show up in Edgefield county SC and stay in NC instead. Michael Harvey died in NC in 1805 and from what I understand never came to SC. His children did though. Thomas Harvey did come to Georgia how early is not certain. This may also raise a question of if all the sons John Boddie assigans to John harvey, brother to Thomas, William, and Charles, are actually his. John Harvey assumes the John who came here was their brother but the deed above states it was their father. So the John harvey senior and junior by John Boddie was actual The Father of the Harvey's of Lunenburg County and his son John, William, Maybe George and James. So all total there may have been 6 brothers from Lunenburg County VA. instead of just 4. I need to do extensive research in this area. I also noticed that before 1775 people had to go to Charleston to register their deeds and such. If you look at the Census and other information before 1790 you see a John Harvey in or near Charleston as early as 1740. Now question would be who is this John Harvey?
