Elizabeth UNKNOWN Note 1: The elder Thomas HARVEY, in 1785, was residing in Wilkes County, Georgia. He was a soldier in the army of Col. Elijah CLARKE, from Georgia, during the Revolutionary War. There is record, dated 2 October 1784, of his authorization to receive pay for service in the regiment of Colonel Samuel Hammond. Previous to the War, in 1765, he had obtained grants of land in South Carolina. For the terminus ad quem of his date of death (29 February 1792), see (1) Court of Greene County, Georgia, 3 April 1792, Letters of Administration for the Estate of Thomas Harvey, in the DAR Library, Washington, D. C. and (2) Bienville Parish Historical Society, History of Bienville Parish, p. 134, in the Jackson Parish Library, Jonesboro, Louisiana. A terminus a quo often suggested for his date of death (1779) is to be found in Texas Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Texas Daughters Revolutionary Ancestors (1976), p. 978, in the Abilene Public Library, Abilene, Texas. Certainly, at the beginning of 1779, he was residing in Hancock County, Georgia.
Because Thomas HARVEY died intestate, his estate was administered by his brothers John, Michael, Evan, and James. Casual investigators have jumped to the conclusion that the John, Michael, Evan, and James HARVEY by whom Thomas's estate was administered must have been his sons. But, at the time of his death, Thomas HARVEY had no adult (21 years of age or older) male children by whom his estate could have been legally administered. Thus, by fathering Thomas HARVEY onto his own brothers, careless reporters of this line have wreaked considerable havoc. Chief among these have been John Bennett Boddie and Mrs. John Bennett Boddie in Historical Southern Families, vol. 1 (1957). Note 2: In 1802, the Tax List for Hancock County, Georgia, Capt. Lucas's District, shows Evan HARVEY as the executor for Rachel HARVEY (née JONES). She is last known to have been alive on 6 June 1801 when, according to the Minute Book of the Baptist Church of Christ at Powelton, Hancock County, Georgia, she joined the church "by experience." Note 3: John Wade HARVEY was the son of William HARVEY (ABT 1745, Virginia, British North America - AFT 1 December 1787 and BEF 14 January 1788, Edgefield County, South Carolina) and Verlinda <WADE>. John Wade HARVEY and his wife, Rebecca HARVEY, thus were first cousins. Note 4: Mary ("Polly") CLOWER was the daughter of John CLOWER (ABT 1753, <of Morgan County>, Georgia - AFT 23 May 1817) and Jane PERKINS (EST 1757, Georgia - ?)
Note 5: Jesse THOMPSON appears to have been the son of Benjamin THOMPSON (Sr.), whose Will was proven in Hancock County, Georgia, 10 March 1797, and whose wife's name was Anne SPAIN. Jesse THOMPSON is mentioned in the Will.
Note 6: For the marriage of Thomas HARVEY and Priscilla STOVALL, John T. SPENCER acted as bondsman. [See Marion County Marriages: 1816 -1817, p. 122.] In this connection, it is worth mentioning that Benjamin JONES stood bond for the marriage, in Marion County, of Lewis STOVALL and Margaret JONES, Margaret JONES is listed on the marriage-bond as his daughter. This is dated 8 May 1816. [See Marion County Marriages: 1816-1817, p. 119.] Note 7: The following paragraphs are taken from William and Irma Lampton, Partial History of the Harvey Family (1992), pp. 7 - 8, based on the researches of Ralph Ferguson Harvey (2 June 1919, Alabama - 25 September 1989, Denton County, Texas).
Valuable contributions have been made to this web page by Mr. John B. Windham, much based on the research - which was conducted over a period of fifty years - by Ralph Ferguson Harvey (2 June 1919, Alabama - 25 September 1989, Denton County, Texas). Some of Ralph Ferguson Harvey's voluminous work was compiled by William and Irma Lampton and published as Partial History of the Harvey Family. What is expressed on this web page is based, therefore, on the premiss that the account which is given of the Harveys of Virginia and Georgia by John Bennett Boddie and Mrs. John Bennett Boddie in Historical Southern Families, vol. 1 (1957) is rather flawed.
