Harvey 423 Falls Ave. New Castle, PA 16105 EMail rharvey@ccia.com Richard J. Harvey cites "The Harvey Book"(two vol.) by Oscar Jewell Harvey, 1899, Wilkesbarre, PA The chronicles of England show the early records of the name Harvey to be derived from the Norman race. The name appears in England from about 1066 A.D., and its history is interwoven within the majestic tapestry which contains the history of Britain. Professional researchers used such ancient manuscripts as the Domesday Book (compiled in 1086 by William the Conqueror), the Ragman Rolls, the Wace poem, the Honour Roll of the Battel Abbey, the Curia Regis, Pipe Rolls, the Falaise Roll, tax records, baptismals, family genealogies, and local parish and church records to establish that the first records of the name Harvey was found in Norfolk where they were seated from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D. Your name, Harvey, occurred in many references, but from time to time, spellings included Harvey, Hervey, Hervie, Harvie, and many others. Scribes recorded and spelled the name as it sounded. It wasn't unlikely that a person would be born with one spelling, married with another, and buried with a headstone which showed another spelling. The Normans were commonly believed to be of French origin, but, more accurately, they were of Viking origin. The Vikings landed in the Orkneys and Northern Scotland about the year 910 A.d, under their King, Stirgud the Stout. Later, under their Earl, Thorfinn Rollo, they invaded France about 910 A.D. The French King, Charles the Simple, after Rollo laid siege to Paris, finally conceded defeat and granted northern France to Rollo. Duke William who invaded and defeated England in 1066, was descended from the first Duke Rollo of Normandy. The surname Harvey emerged as a notable family name in the county of Norfolk and Cambridge where they were recorded as a family of great antiquity seated with Manors and estates in those shires. They were descended from Robert FitzHarvey from herve in Normandy, a Norman noble at Hastings. They became the first Bishops of Ely and founded the monastery of Thorney in Cambridgeshire. However, in assisting King Stephen of England against the Empress Maude he was defeated by the Earl of Gloucester and forced to retire presumably to Scotland where they established large estates in Aberdeenshire. By 1200, however , the clan had also returned to England to Risley in Bedfordshire, and in Wiltshire, where the Herveys became the marquis of Bristol. William Harvey (1578-1657), Doctor and Scientist, was Physician Extraordinary to King James I, he became famous for discovering the circulation of the blood in 1616. He was the son of the Mayor of Folkestone. Meanwhile in Scotland, Andrew Hervey was the Dean of Guild in Edinburgh. Outstanding amongst the family at this time was Marquis of Bristol. The surname Harvey contributed much to local politics and in the affairs of England or Scotland. During the 12th century many of these Norman families moved north to Scotland. Later, in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries England was ravaged by religious and political conflict. The Monarchy, the Church and parliament fought for supremacy. The unrest caused many to think of distant lands. In Ireland, settlers became known as the "Adventurers for Land in Ireland". They "undertook" to keep the Protestant faith, occupying the lands of the Irish. In Ireland they settled in Ulster and county Wexford, although a small group settled in Galway. The democratic way of life of the New World beckoned many. They sailed aboard the fleet of sailing ships known as the "White Sails". In North America, migrants which could be considered a kinsman of the family named Harvey, or variable spellings of that same family name included Edward Harvey who arrived in Virginia in 1649; Grace Harvey settled in the Barbados in 1679; George Harvey and his wife settled in Virginia in 1648; John Harvey settled in Virginia in 1640; William Harvey settled in new England in 1630; Alexander Harvie settled in Virginia in 1635; Anne Harview settled in Virginia in 1635; John Harvy settled in the Barbados in 1674; Nicholas Hervey settled in Maryland in 1634; Martha Hervey settled in Pennsylvania in 1772; followed by Thomas Hervey in 1850. In Newfoundland, John Hervey settled in Chapples Cove in 1681; William Harvey settled in Trinity in 1708; Lawrence in Pettery Harbour in 1739; John held a fishery at Portugal Cove in 1794; William Hervy settled in Carbonear in 1810; William Harvey was a planter in Carbonear in 1841, and many more. There is a Harvey Cove, Harvey Hill, and Harvey Rock, in Newfoundland. From the port of arrival settlers joined the wagon trains westward. During the American War of Independence some declared their loyalty to the crown and moved northward into Canada and became known as the Untied Empire Loyalists. Meanwhile, the family name was highly regarded in the social stream. There were many notables of this name, Harvey: Anthony Harvey, Film Director; Ian Harvey, Public Relations; Patrick Harvey, Real Estate; William Harvey, Professor of Law; Marquis of Bristol (Hervey). ========================== (this came from the Harvey website which had a graphic of the coat-of-arms Research has determined the above Coat of Arms* to be the most ancient recorded for the family surname Harvey. source: The Hall of Names, Inc. *the Coat of Arms eluded to is the center Coat in The Harvey Genealogist Logo, 3 trefoils diagonally on a field of crimson. ===================================== What's In Your Name? Harvey Origin Legendary by Charles Guearino and Albert Seddon Herve was a minstrel of ancient Brittany. His name, which means "battle-worthy", was introduced into England perhaps in legend or in song at the time of the Conquest. The first English census was ordered by William the Conqueror in 1086 and the names of the citizens were recorded in what is known as the Doomsday Book. Both a Herveus and a Herueu de Berruarius appear in the book of that year. The name of William Hervi or Herevi is recorded on the Kalendar of Abbot Samson in 1190 and again on the Curia Regis rolls of Suffolk in 1196. The vowel "a" found in the eastern regions of England is often replaced by an "e" in the west. William Harvey (1578-1657), was the English physician who discovered the circulation of the blood. It may seem incredible that the circulatory system could have remained undiscovered until the 17th century. Much earlier, even as early as Homer or Plato, men realized that the blood was not stagnant in the body, but they imagined some sort of irregular movement, similar to the stop and go circulation of city traffic. They realized that the heart beat, but they attributed this to an expansion of the spirits which it contained. It was William Harvey who first realized that the heart was the motor power of the blood and that the circulation of the blood was regular and continuous. (See encyclopedic references of William Harvey.) The Harvey name can also be found in Scotland and parts of Ireland. It is, however, nearly always of English origin. In Ireland, it is found predominantly in the province of Ulster, which was settled by English Protestants. There is a small Irish sept in County Galway, whose Gaelic name of O'hAirmheadhaigh has been Anglicized to Harvey. The Harvey name arrived in America long before the Revolution. In 1636, Thomas and William Harvey, originally of Somerset, England, were recorded in the annals of Dorcester, Mass. The coat of arms granted to this branch of the Harvey Family is blazoned: "Sable, a fesse or, between three squirrels sejant argent, cracking nuts of the second."

Several years ago my Mother and Father were vacationing in Scotland when they spotted a "Harvey" flag flying over a tent at a Scottish military parade. Excited about this discovery, they entered the tent and were given the following historical account: In the time of David I, King of Scotland (about 1160), a Scottish Knight named Hervey is said to have obtained a grant of the north-west portion of the lands of Keith, in East Lothian (near Aberdeen). From it owner, it was called Keith-Hervey. It was this Hervey who held the office of King's Marischal under Malcom IV and William the Lion. The title Marischal became hereditary, and was passed to his grandson Philip upon Hervey's death in 1196. As was the custom at the time, the family became known by the name Keith, after the lands they possessed. The Keiths were a very powerful Celtic family in the far north of Scotland and their chiefs continued to hold the important office of Marischal of Scotland for six hundred years. Numerous Earl Marischals used the name Hervey or Harvey throughout their history. Famous episodes of their chronicles are a bloody and treacherous battle with their Norse neighbors, the Gunns, in 1464 and the rescue in Cromwell's time of the Scottish Regalia which the sixth Earl Marischal hid safely at Dunottar Castle. ========================================= HERVEY/HERVIE/HARVEY/HARVIE. From HERVE' a Breton personal name introduced into Britain by the Normans. In Latin records Herueus, Herveius and Herveus. Herueus, son of Philip Marescall, confirmed the church of Keith to the Abbey of Kelso. etc. etc. Contributed by: Earl Ross, Special Contributor, Prodigy Genealogy BB ========================================= Harveys In Elizabethan Essex The following was extracted from a website containing 6 indexes from "Elizabethan Life" by Dr Frederick George Emmison.
