There were two persons in Boston at the same time bearing the name of William Harvey. One of them lived and died there ; the other subsequently removed to Taunton. Our Col. John Harvey was descended from William Harvey of Boston. Oscar Jewell Harvey, author of " The Harvey Book," of the Taunton Line, Wilkesbarre, Penn., 1899, says: " I think it very clearly proved by the public records herein referred to, and by other records, that there was no William Harvey residing at Plymouth in 1639, and that the two Will- iams ' then in New England,' were (1) William of Taunton, whose wife was Joanna Hucker, and (2) William of Boston, who married Martha Copp." (Page 35.) William Harvey of Taunton married Joanna Hucker of Co- hannet, April 2, 1639, and resided for some years in Boston. From what part of England William Harvey came is not known. We have a clue from the Will of Agnes Clarke of Ayshill, or Ashill, Somerset, three miles west of Ilminster, and 3 4 Ancestry of Col. John Harvey. nine miles east of Taunton, widow, dated Oct. 20, 1647, proved May 10, 1648. I give and bequeath unto William Harvey the son of Thomas Harvey deceased, my kinsman, now in New England, eighteen pounds, which sum is to be paid as soon as it can be recovered, if he shall come to demand it at any time within four years, but if he come not then my will is that William Harvey the son of James Harvey shall have the said money at such time as he shall be of lawful age to give a discharge. I give to the said William son of James Harvey fifteen pounds when of age. I give and be- queath unto William Harvey in New England all my household stuff during his life, if he come to claim it, and after his decease to remain in the house to the use of James Harvey, his brother, and the said James to make use of it until William, his brother, shall come to claim it. (N. E. Hist. Geneal. Register, xlvi : p. 453 ; Waters' Gleanings in Eng., i : p. 645.) She mentions Elizabeth Harvey, wife of Richard Harvey " my kinsman," whom she makes her sole executor and to whom she leaves the residue of her estate. The name of her husband was John Clarke. Ashill Church Registers begin 1558 : unfortunately the Reg- ister of births, marriages and burials from 1628 to 1653 has been lost. The entries for 1625-1628 are almost illegible. There seem to have been three families of name of Harvie at Ashill, — Richard, Thomas and Nicolas. But for the loss of these Registers we might have been able, perhaps, to connect the Family with the Parish of Ashill. The Rev. W. R. Hart- wright, Vicar of Pitminster, Eng., has kindly made for me a transcript of the records. Baptisms. Agnes, dau. Thomas Harvie, Jan. 20, 1599. Thomasine, dau. Thomas Harvie, March 12, 1601.

There were other Harveys in New England who were per- haps connected with our branch. Joan Harvey, who died March 31, 1705, married about 1641 Robert Barnard of Salisbury, 1642-1644, of Andover 164 5 1663, and subsequently of Nantucket, where he died in 1682. Thomas 4Iarvey married 1643, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Wall of Hampton, N. H., and living Aug. 20, 1663, when he sold land at Hampton, and perhaps in 1683. William Harvey of Taunton was perhaps related. 6 Ancestry of Col. John Harvey. I am indebted to Hoyt's work entitled " The Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury," for much valuable information ; also to the " History of Sutton, N. H.," by Mrs. Augusta Har- vey Worthen. I have also visited three ancient cemeteries in Amesbury and Merrimac, and found only one Harvey grave- stone, that of Joseph 4 Harvey, who died Jan. 18, 1761. Prior to 1752 the new year began on the 25th of March. After the last day of Dec, 1751, the neAV year began Jan. 1, in 1752. FIRST GENERATION. 1 WILLIAM 1 HARVEY, born , in England; died Aug. 15, 1658, in Boston; married , Martha Copp, daughter of William and Judith Copp, of Boston. He was admitted to the First Church, July 4, 1640 (" 4. 5. 1640 "), and his wife Judith, Jan. 24, 1640-1 (" 24. 11. 1640 "). She married (2), Nov. 10, 1659, in Boston, by Gov. John Endicott, Henry Tewxbery, or Tuxbury, weaver. Some have thought that William Harvey of Boston, and William Harvey of Taun- ton, were the same person, but there is no proof of tins, and the Public Records show the contrary. He is also said to have married Martha Slocum, which must have been a second mar- riage, but there is no evidence of this, and the Will of William Copp, cordwainer, shows that his daughter Martha was the mother of William Harvey's children. His Will, dated Oct. 31, 1662, probated March 15, 1669-70, mentions the widow, now married again, and her four Harvey children : Daughter Tewxbery to live in the house where son David lives, on her death to grand child William Harvey, he to give his brothers Thomas and John Harvey ten pounds apiece, and Maiy Harvey five pounds. 10 acres ground beyond Braintree to grandchild William Harvey. (N. E. Hist. Geneal. Reg., xlviii: p. 459.) 7 8 Ancestry of Col. John Harvey. The " ground beyond Braintree " was granted William Copp at a Town* Meeting in Boston, March 8, 1657-8 : " Itt is or- dered that Goodman Copp shall have some land given him att Braintree, according to the discretions of the select men." (Boston Records, ii, Pt. 1 : p. 144.) William Harvey's Will was probated in Boston, and widow Martha was appointed administratrix. The Inventory was made Jan. 18, 1658-9 ("18. 11. 1658"). There was a house, garden and pigs. The widow was to have care of the four young children. (Suffolk Probate Docket 207, and Vol. iii : p. 144.) Henry Tewksbury, Tewxbery, or Tuxbury, was of Newbury in 1662 ; he took the Oath of Allegiance in that town May 25, 1669; he sold his place the same year and removed to Ames- bury, where he took the Oath of Allegiance Dec. 20, 1677 ; was si member of the Train-band in 1680, and signed the Norfolk County Petition the same year ; was a Freeman in 1690 ; a Tythingman in 1693, the first time they were chosen, and was living in 1697. A Martha Tuxbury died Jan. 12, 1729-30, and may have been his wife. Many removed from the old town of Salisbury and made a new settlement, which was commonly called the new town, or New Salisbury, March 14, 1654-5 (" 14. 1. 1654 "). A covenant was drawn up between the old and new town, and the inhabitants of the latter were taxed for certain purposes in the old town till 1667-8, when it was incorporated under the name of Amesbury, sometimes spelled Eamsbury and Almes- hii iy. The first Meeting-house was erected in 1665. No trace of it now remains, but a big stone with a bronze inscription, in the old cemetery, marks the place. The West Parish of Ames- bury, where the Second Church was organized May 19, 1726, and where most of the Harveys resided, is now the town of Merrimac, incorporated in 1876. First Generation. 9 The children of Henry and Martha (Gopp) Harvey Tuxbury, born in Newbury and Amesbury, were : 1. Hannah Tuxbury, b. Aug. 31, or Sept. 1, 1662 ; in.

In 1710, he petitioned for liberty to build vessels at " Jamaco," as the west part of the town was called. The Harveys owned a large tract of land near where stands the Universalist Church, and where probably they lived, and a mill on Cobblers' brook. lie was a prominent man and was called Captain Harvey. Son William was appointed administrator, March 19, 1716-17. The Inventory, Jan. 21, 1715-16, mentions a rapier and arms, valued at 50s., a negro, three farms of 22, 35, and 20 acres, all mortgaged to the Province. The value of the estate was small.

Think she married (2), July 5, 1758, Benjamin Tucker. He owned land in Amesbury and in "Bugmore," South Hampton. Prior to 1741 the present northern boundary of South Hampton, N. H., was wholly a part of Amesbury and Salisbury. The boundary line between New Hampshire and Massachusetts has been altered. In 1726 he was taxed to support preaching in the Second Church, and renewed his baptismal covenant there about that time. His Will, in which he is styled "yeoman," was made Jan. 20, 1757, and probated April 4, 1757. Son David was executor. It mentions wife Dorothy, sons Thomas, David, who was to be executor, and Joseph, daughter Mary Currier, grandson John and granddaughters Molly and Dolly, children of son John, de- ceased, and granddaughter Martha, daughter of son Timothy, deceased. He made provision for the children of his deceased son John : "I give to my grandson John Harvey one-third part of an acre of land on the North side of my Barn, including 19 20 Ancestry of Col John Harvey. the orchard the said John's son set out. I also give to my said son live acres of land in the Pines, so called, in Amesbury abovesaid, bounding westerly and easterly on highways, South- erly on William Moulton, Northerly on Gideon Davis. Pro- vided always that my said grandson pay to each of his sisters, namely Mary and Dolly Harvey, £s 3, to be paid them, or their heirs, by their brother John Harvey within one year after my decease."

FOURTH GENERATION. 22 JOHN 4 HARVEY (Joseph? John? William^, born March 29, 1719, in Amesbmy ; baptized Sept. 14, 1729; died Aug. 18, 1756, at Fort William Henry, Lake George, N. Y. ; married June 9, 1743, Mary Whittle, born June 22, 1722, died Nov. (her son, Col. John Harvey, in his Diary, 1779-1781, gives the date thus), and probably the daughter of Thomas and Mary Whittle, who had a son Thomas, baptized Aug. 7, 1726, in the Second Church. He was a carpenter by trade ; was enrolled in the Train-band of Capt. Sargent, Col. John Greenleaf's Regiment. Carpenters and shipwrights were wanted to build boats and vessels on Lake Champlain and Lake George. In 1756, drafts were made upon every Company in the Province for soldiers. These were picked men, and their services, in addition to doing strictly military duties, were em- ployed in constructing vessels to combat the French on the lakes. They were shipwrights and carpenters. They were constantly so employed in 1755, 1756 and 1757. This work went on, summer and winter, and more progress was made in the latter season, because there was less danger of attack then from the French and their Indian allies. Those vessels that survived the French and Indian wars did valiant service in our Revolutionary struggle. 23 24 Ancestry of Col. John Harvey. John Harvey was drafted and enrolled in the Company of Capt. Stephen Webster, Col. Bayley's Regiment, according to a Descriptive List, dated at Fort William Henry, Aug. 9, 1756, being then 37 years old. He died soon after. According to the Massachusetts Archives (xciv : 118), " John Harvey served for 43 days, 2 s - per day, <£4 : 6 : 0." This report was made up Feb. 3, 1757, at Crown Point (see Massachusetts Archives, xcv: 154), where John Harvey was reported "dead," and that he served till Aug. 22, 1756, " 20 wks, and 6 days, £8. 6. 11." Amesbury town records say he died Aug. 18, 1756. The name of Theophilus Harvey, aet. 27, of Kingston, and born there, occurs next to that of John Harvey. He may be the Theophi- lus, son of William Harvey, baptized in 1726 (see page 11). Ages in muster rolls are often incorrect. Widow Mary Harvey was appointed administratrix, Oct. 14, 1756. The inventory, Oct. 9, 1756, shows very little property. They both renewed their baptismal covenant at the Second Church in 1744. Children, born in Amesbury : 80 Mary, 5 b. May 26, 1744; bapt. May 26, 1744 ; d. young. 31 JOHN, 5 b. Aug. 4, 1745; bapt. Aug. 11, 1745; d. Feb.—, 1812; m. about 1771, Sarah Blake. 32 Molly, 5 b. Nov. 27, 1747; bapt. May (Nov.?) 29, 1747; d. (alive 1757). 33 Dolly, 5 b. May 25, 1750; d. (alive 1757). FIFTH GENERATION. 31 Col. JOHN"' HARVEY (John* Joseph, 3 John, 2 Wil- liam 1 ), born Aug. 4, 1745, in Aniesbury; baptized Aug. 11, 1745 ; died Feb. — , 1812, according to Parson Bradley's Diary, in Falmouth, now Westbrook, Maine; married about 1771, Sarah Blake, of Epping, N. H., born Dec. 5, 1747; died Nov. 14, 1827, aet. 79 years, 11 months (g. s.), in Northwood, N. H., and daughter of Joseph Blake. He probably came to Nottingham about 1765, where Jonathan Harvey settled about 1755 (see pages 15, 16), and afterwards removed to that part of the town which was set off Feb. 6, 1773, as Northwood. April 1, 1772, he bought land of Samuel Dearborn, cordwainer, of Epping, bounded west by a pond, afterwards called Harvey Pond, now Harvey Lake, for £32: 10s., where he lived. The first meeting of the freeholders and inhabitants was called March 23, 1773, when he was chosen one of the fence-viewers. June 9, 1774, he, with others, petitioned for Benjamin Hill to be Justice of the Peace. When he first enlisted as a soldier in the Revolution is not now known, but in the pay-roll, Aug. 1, 1775, of the Company of Capt. Henry Dearborn, of Nottingham, Col. John Stark's Regiment, which was at the battle of Bunker Hill and in sub- sequent campaigns, occurs the name of a John Harvey, who enlisted May 11, 1775, served 2 months, 26 days, and Oct. 16 25 26 Ancestry of Col. John Harvey. he received |4.00 for his regimental coat, promised by the Colony of New Hampshire. In the fall of 1775, Dearborn's Company was in Arnold's Regiment, which marched to Quebec by way of the Kennebec. In April, 1776, the Association Test was drawn up in the town of Northwood, and a return made of all those who signed and of those who refused to sign. The name of John Harvey does not occur in either of these lists. He was probably in the Army. When he became a member of the New Hampshire Society of the Cincinnati in 1784, he signed as a Lieutenant, having served four years, to the end of the war. But he was a soldier for a longer period. According to the New Hampshire Muster Rolls (imperfect), he enlisted Feb. 22, 1777, for three years, as Sergeant, in the 1st Company, Capt. James Gray, 3d New Hampshire Regiment; was Ensign, May 1, 1778, to Jan., 1780, and promoted to be Quarter-master, Sept. 15, 1780, from Ensign. In the new arrangement of officers in the 1st Regiment, Col. Joseph Cilley, he was Ensign, and pro- moted to be Lieutenant, May 12, 1781. In 1779, and later, he served in Pennsylvania and along the Hudson River. His Regiment formed a part of Sullivan's ex- pedition against the Six Nations of Indians of Western New York. He was present at the execution of Maj. John Andre, Oct. 2, 1780, at Tappan, N. Y. He kept a Diary during this campaign, from 1779-1781. It is a small book, in excellent preservation, of some 130 pages, and about 120 words to a page. The writing is plain, and the language used is good, though the spelling, of course, is not always correct. He records that he left Northwood March 7, 1779, and marched 15 miles to Epping. It has two well-drawn plans of battles. At the end he gives the record of his own family, the date of the birth and death of his father, and the date of birth of his mother, without giving her maiden name, and the month only of her death. This Diary he gave to Joseph Quinby, Jr., son of widow Quinby, at whose house he was then living, Jan., Fifth Generation. 27 1812, not long before his death in the following February, as Joseph has marked on a fly-leaf. This Diary is now in the possession of Miss Lillian Quinby, granddaughter of Joseph Quinby, Jr., and Librarian of the Westbrook Public Library. In 1904 I called at her residence to see the book. She was very courteous, and allowed me to examine as much as I pleased the Diary, which she values very highly, but would not part with it on any consideration, and, unfortunately, would not allow it to be printed ; so that the descendants of Col. John Harvey may probably never be able to see the work of their ancestor. But, fortunately, in the " Journals of the Military Expedition of Maj. John Sullivan against the Six Nations of Indians in 1779," there have been printed by Frederick Cook (Auburn, N. Y., 1887), five Diaries written by New Hampshire officers, from which may be gathered the same information as that contained in Lieut. Harvey's Diary : — Lieut. Col. Henry Dearborn, 3d N. H. Regiment, with plan of order of march and battle, the same as in Harvey's Diary, pp. 62-79; Sergeant Moses Fellows, 3d N. H. Regiment, pp. 86-91 ; Maj. James Norris, 3d N. H. Regiment, pp. 223-239 ; Maj. Jeremiah Fogg, 2d N. H. Regiment, pp. 92-101; Ensign Daniel Gookin, 2d N. H. Regiment, pp. 102-106. After the close of the war in 1783, he returned to North- wood, where he was a prosperous farmer, and interested in the welfare of the town. In 1783 he bought various lots of land sold for taxes, 1779-1782, and in the Deeds he is styled "gen- tleman" (Rockingham Deeds, cxiv: 496-501 ; cxxxii: 195, 199). He had the title of Colonel at least as early as 1788, probably from service in the militia. In 1781 the Congregationalists built a Meeting-house. June 3, 1784, the pew privileges were sold, varying from 112.00 to #19.50. A first, second and third was sold to John Harvey, and he was one of the committee men to sell them. His wife Sarah became a member when the church was organized, Nov. 29, 1788, but he did not. He was 28 Ancestry of Col. John Harvey. Town Clerk, 1784-1788, and a selectman in 1787. He signed a petition for laying out a road, Dec. 15, 1788. THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. At the close of the War of the Revolution, the officers of the Continental Army, at Newburgh-on-the-Hudson, May 13, 1783, formed a Society to be called the Cincinnati, to perpet- uate the memory of the struggle, and to promote mutual friendships and acts of beneficence among its members and their posterity. For convenience the Society was divided into thirteen State Societies. Gen. Washington was the first Presi- dent-General. A Society of the French officers was also organ- ized July 4, 1784, under the presidency of Count d'Estaing, who was guillotined April 28, 1794, — the first and only Presi- dent of the Society in France. It included among its members many illustrious nobles and military officers. Louis XVI, by decree in council, permitted them to wear the Order. No other foreign Order, except that of the Golden Fleece, was allowed to be worn in France. The institution was formally sanctioned by Louis XVI at Versailles, Dec. 18, 1783, with the head of the Government as patron of the Order. It became dormant and the members were dispersed by the outbreak of the Revo- lution in 1792. (See " The Order of the Cincinnati in France," by Asa Bird Gardiner, 1905.) The New Hampshire Society of the Cincinnati was organized at Exeter, Nov. 18, 1783. The original members were twenty- seven, whose names were subscribed on that occasion, and at a subsequent meeting, Feb. 4, 1784. Lieut. John Harvey sub- scribed in 1784. Owing to a lack of interest in creating new members, many of the original ones having died or re- moved to other States, the Society became dormant in 1 823, and the last meeting was adjourned after voting " that the next annual meeting be held at Portsmouth." So it is plain that the Society never intended to disband. A few years ago the Fifth Generation. 29 work of resuscitation was begun, and the Society is now in a very flourishing condition. It was chiefly owing to the action of the New Hampshire Society in 1784, in opposing the pro- posed amendment to the Constitution abolishing the rule of hereditary succession, that the Order was preserved. Nov. 1, 1902, the Society purchased the " Gilman House," a fine old Colonial building, as a permanent headquarters, and here its meetings are held every Fourth of July and on other occasions. The house was built by Nathaniel Ladd in 1721, and was the residence, during the Revolution, of Col. Nicholas Gilman, Treasurer of New Hampshire from 1775 to 1783. After serving so long in the war, it is no wonder that many of these men had become incapacitated for hard farm labor. Large arrearages were also due them from the Government, which it was promised should be paid them with interest as soon as the state of the finances allowed. Many with broken fortunes and health could not wait, and their claims and cer- tificates were sold to sharpers for what they could get, often a mere fraction of what was due them. John Harvey owned many farms, had a good house, and was an innholder, but he desired a better dwelling ; so he erected the house, afterwards the residence of his son Judge John Harvey till 1820, when he built a new house for himself, now a hotel, the " Harvey House." It commanded a fine view of Harvey pond, or lake, as it is now called, and here his former companions in arms were always welcome to a generous hos- pitality. His new home was so much superior to most other dwellings that it caused general comment. His hospitality was such that he went beyond his means, and he became badly involved in debt. He began selling his property. In 1790 he sold John Blydenburgh, of Durham, 168 acres and buildings, being the whole of lot No. 20, and 50 acres of lot 19, south of the pond. In 1791 he sold other lots. (Rockingham Deeds, cxxvii: 433, 521 ; cxxix : 127.) April 23, 1795, his son bought 30 Ancestry of Col. John Harvey. back lot 21, about 100 acres, for £50, which his father had sold March 21, 1791, and also bought of Sherburne Blake for •1800 the lands sold John Blydenburgh, Aug. 31, 1790. (Rock- ingham Deeds, cxli: 17-19.) He also paid many debts con- tracted by his father. Later, Col. Harvey went "down East," as Maine was called, to visit some friends, old soldiers. One of the daughters of Jonathan Harvey of Nottingham had also settled in what is now the town of Deering (see p. 16). He went to what is now the town of Westbrook. The town of Falmouth was incorporated in 1718, and included the present towns of Portland, Falmouth, Cape Elizabeth, Westbrook and Deering. Westbrook was set off and incorporated as Stroud- water in 1814, and in 1815 the name was changed to West, brook. Deering was set off and incorporated in 1871. He resided at the house of Azuba Quinby, near Nason's corner, widow of Joseph Quinby, a Revolutionary soldier, and here he died in February, 1812. It is not known where he was buried. In the Massachusetts Records, in a Muster Roll for 1777 at the camp near Valley Forge, the name of Joseph Quinby occurs, credited to the town of Falmouth, who enlisted Jan. 1, 1777, for three years. Till 1820 Maine was a part of Massachusetts. It is not known when John Harvey went to Maine ; but the Rev. Caleb Bradley, locally known as Parson Bradley (H. U. 1795), who died in 1861, records in his Diary, June 24, 1799, a subscription of $2.00 from John Harvey towards his settle- ment as minister. He died here during one of his visits.

The traffic and travel on the road was very great, and as the tavern was noted for its neatness and excellent fare, it was much patronized. Mrs. Piper, a very capable woman, contrib- uted not a little to its success.
