Mike, thank you for your reply. I do not know who James HARVEY'S siblings were or his parents. I do have a few possible names that could be related. There was a John N. HARVEY on the 1845 Rankin Co, MS state census and I believe he is the same person who was the J. N. HARVEY listed on the 1840 Rankin Co census and also believe James and his family may have been living with him at that time. There is a marriage for a John HARVEY to Rebecca TRUMIN July 21, 1836 Rankin Co, MS. I think different John's because the one in the census record would have been to young according to age on census. There is another possible name, Elijah, he is listed in the 1850 Jones Co, MS census and died 1859 Rankin Co. Maybe he was visiting relatives. Elijah was born abt 1804 GA. Then there are the HARVEY'S listed in the 1830 Copiah Co, MS census. Abram A., Joel,Sr, John N.(unsure if correct initial) and Nehemiah. Have some information on these HARVEY'S except John. Nehemiah or a John Wade could be father of James. Does any of this connect? Vicki
