    3. Re: the Governor Thomas Harvey and Orange co. Va. connection- There are a lot of people that think that is a good possibility. I have Thomas Harvey, as son of John Harvey and his wife living at the Heath in Snitherfield Parish, in Warwickshire England (near London). His will mentions wife Sarah (Laker),( 1st wife was Johanna Jenkins, some records have Elizabeth Jenkins, relict of Hon. John Jenkins), nephews Thomas and John, sons of late bro. Richard of London, bro. Robert of Snitherfield Parish. I also found a will for Richard Harvey 1732-33 that lists sons John, Richard, Peter, LEMUEL, and Josias, dau. Bridget, son James and wife Mary, unfortunately, it does not list the county, but is in NC. We could look it up in NC will book and see if it is in the same area. Thomas Harvey was in Perquimanns co. I think we are seeing that apparently Lemuel is a family name and that is why we are seeing his name in Ga. NC Tn etc. We need to go back to Oglethorpe co. if that is the last place you are sure that he was and look in the land records etc. to see if it tells you where he came from. A lot of times, the first deed they make in that area will tell where they are from. I just hope Oglethorpe was not one of the burned cos. If it is, I would try for Bryan co. The info that I got was from Genealogical Info from Extant Ga Newspapers and it said Sarah Harvey applied for administration on Lemuel Harvey, Oct. 23, 1797 in Bryan Co. It was published by Huxford, the huge genealogical library in Ga. There may be more info in their quarterlies, but it is time consuming to look through them. If you don't have access to the books or family history center, let me know and I will look for you when I get back to the library. Janice
