Hi Sherry - Regarding the Lemuel Harvey son of William b. 1749 in Orange Co, VA which I posted -- I believe William's parents were John Harvey and Margaret Burke of Orange Co, VA. This family moved into Monroe Co, WV and I believe one of the sons, (brother of William) Benjamin married a BALLARD. Sorry, I don't have an address for V. GAY. I do know her name was Vannetta Gay. Her research notes are dated 1977 and on many pages she states "not proven" and often gives the name and address of other researchers who were her sources. In looking over these and other notes I've collected, looking for more clues for a Lemuel or a connection to Scotland, I've found the following which might provide you with some clues. A) I've found several references to "Lemuel" mostly in KY in early 1800's -- This may well be the Lemuel son of William noted above. B) In V. Gay's notes I've found the following: "Brothers who came to America from Scotland: (settled Elkten, Cecil Co, MD 1753) 1) William Harvey 1727/67 m. Rebecca Carruthers, 2) John, 3) Andrew, 4) James. --- James & Wm to Cumberland Co early, Andrew a bit later" (note: Cumberland Co, PA?) Sherry, I know I've seen this William Harvey / Rebecca Caruthers on lineage charts from South Carolina! This suggest to me that some part of this family moved south. This is at least closer to you GA connection with Lemuel.. However: Here's another clue - with an Olgethorpe Co, GA connection! "John Harvie, bapt. 20 Dec 1706 at Gargunnock, Scotland. His will prob. 1767, Alemarle Co, VA. mar. Martha Gaines on 10 Jan 1742 (she d. 7 Oct 1802; her will at OGLETHORPE CO, GA; she was dau of Daniel Gaines and Martha Taylor) See book "Georgians" by G.R. Gilmore, American Book Co., Americus GA, 1926, pp. 109-122 and reference: --- For the Harvie family who came from Scotland and lived in Georgia (et al) see book, "The Harvie Family of Virginia" by John Harvey Creecy, pub. 1949: addr: 4100 Grove Ave., Richmond, VA" Sherry, Please keep me in mind if you find any stray John Harvey's who were born abt. 1750 -- Mine's running loose out there somewhere!
