Hannah (Hervy), d. Nathan and Martha, d. John Stephens, Jan. 19, 1743-4.

Notes:

Edmund Harvey had a brother, Nathan, who purchased a piece of land joining his on the South and a short distance from the brook are the remains of the cellar and a stone fireplace and chimney. It seems he made an effort to start in for life there but gave up and nothing has been heard from him since, except that he left the land in the hands of the family to pay taxes and keep the title good.

"Happy Valley".... "This cabin he gave up to Edmund Harvey in April, 1783...."

Page 98.
"Next above Josiah Clark's place came the farm and residence of Edmund Harvey, who was born in Attleborough, Mass., 1757, where he spent his boyhood. On the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, he enlisted in a company under the command of Captain Goldsmith, and served through a portion of the war. Having finished his period of service in of the army, he came with his father's family to Hartland, whence be found his way into Woodstock about 1781. In the early part of 1782, he married in Bridgewater, Mass., Mary Harvey, his second cousin, and the next year, in the month of February, started for Woodstock with family and stores. On his way he left baggage and stores at No. 4, and pushed forward with wife and child to Cornish, where he put up at Chase's tavern. After being weather-bound here a few days, taking the ferry-boat the 5th day of March, they succeeded in crossing the river safely. Wife and child now pushed forward to Hartland and put up at the house of Mr. Luce, while Mr. Harvey returned to No. 4 for baggage and stores. It took him between four and five weeks to get through and back to Cornish again. No need of ferry-boat now. Such had been the severity of the weather during his trip to No.4 and back that Connecticut River, though in high flood, and though it was now the second week in April, was frozen over solid, so that he crossed it with his loaded teams on the ice. He then pushed on through Hartland, picked up wife and child by the way, and reached and camped down on his own farm just six weeks after the first crossing of the River at Cornish. The farm consisted of twenty-five acres of land purchased of Josiah Clark, not a rod of which was cleared as yet, and the snow was still plentiful and deep, though it was past the middle of April. Harvey occupied at first the log hut Clark had vacated, but after two years he built a better one twenty-five or thirty rods further down the road. This log house had two large rooms on the ground floor, in which the family ate and slept and performed all their domestic labors, including spinning and weaving, making butter and cheese, and preparing fowls for market. ln the summer of 1795, Mr. Harvey put up a frame house about fifteen rods further down the road. This building, after standing many years, was taken down by George W. Harvey, in August, 1878.

On the 29th of April, 1807, Mr. Harvey went with his son Nathan over to Mr. Burtch's store in Hartford, to settle an account. On his return in the afternoon, he attempted to cross the river above Taft's dam in a canoe. The river was high from a spring flood, the current proved too strong for the rowers, and the boat was swept over the dam. The young man escaped, but Mr. Harvey was carried down the stream and drowned.2

Footnote 2: Fortunately the latter (the son, about twenty years of age), after being carried down the falls for some distance, was preserved by means of some flood wood from receiving any material injury. Edmund Harvey's body was accidentally found on Tuesday, May 12th, following, near the mouth of Quechee River. (Spooner's Vt. Journal, May 18, 1807.)"

"After the death of Edmund Harvey the Farm continued in possession of the family, and is still occupied by George W. Harvey, grandson of the above."

Research Note:
*There is a known Y-DNA connection from a descendant of Marshall Harvey to this Joseph Harvey's ancestor Thomas Harvey b. 1716 and this is the only Thomas Harvey descendant that fits all of the known facts regarding Marshall Harvey if the Edmund and Marshall, below, are brothers. There are both an Edmund Harvey and a Marshall Harvey in the 1790 Woodstock, Vt. census.
*Edmund Harvey married his second cousin, Mary Harvey, (daughter of David Harvey & Content Byram)
*Edmund's grandfather is likely this Joseph Harvey, son of Nathaniel b. 1673 and Susannah. If so, assuming Edmund and Marshall are brothers, then likewise for Marshall Harvey.


I know it's a new year but I haven't solved my goal for 1998 yet. I should
have found you people sooner.
Edmund Harvey has me stumped. I know his descendents and I have claimed him
for my admission to DAR but I can't find his parents of any of his ancestors.
He was born in 1752 or 57 in Attleboro, Mass.
He was married 4 Jun 1782 in Bridgewater Mass. to his cousin Mary Harvey who
was from Bridgewater. Her parents were David Harvey andContent Byram.
He was in the Revolution. He was drowned in the Quechee River in 29 Apr 1807.
He lived in Taftsville, Vermont which is just east of Woodstock Vermont in a
place called Happy Valley. I have been there and it is still beautiful.
If you know anything about him please let me know.
