A History of Monroe County, West Virginia, p. 350-351:

HARVEY Four children of John (Margaret) of Orange settled in the southwest of Monroe about the close of the Revolution. These were Benjamin, (17511826) (Susan Ballard of William)—Nicholas (Sarah )—John (Elizabeth )—Elizabeth (1768-1824) (John Stodghill). A James (MarySnidow) and a Joseph are also spoken of.

C. of Benjamin: William, John, Thomas, Millie (John Mann, 1801), Mollie (James Houchins), Nancy (Adam Mann), Elizabeth (Robert Creed, 1804).

C. of John: Dicea (Bartley Pack, 1811), Elizabeth (Ephraim Broyles, 1805), Nancy (Thomas Paul, 1815), Polly (Edmund Dunn, 1805).

Other very early marriages among the Harveys were these: Elizabeth (Mark P. Duncan, 1803), Jacob (Hannah Swope, 1802), Joshua (Sarah Swope, 1808), Frances (James Swope, 1807), Barbara (Andrew Nickell, 1802).

Nicholas, or according to another account, James, built several log cabins at Red Sulphur Springs and was thus the first person to open the resort to the public. A daughter married William Adair. A grandson of Joseph was governor of Kansas.

Spouse: Mary Margaret Burke Harvey (1729 - 1800)

Children: Elizabeth Harvey Stodghill (1749 - 1824)* Benjamin Harvey (1751 - 1826)* John E. Harvey (1752 - 1823)* Nicholas Harvey (1753 - 1826)* Joseph Harvey (1754 - 1828)* Joshua Calvin Harvey (1769 - 1849)*

Research Notes

Many people claim that John Harvey is the son of Thomas Harvey, the son of Deputy Governor of North Carolina Thomas Harvey (1698) and Elizabeth Cole, the daughter of Col. James Cole, of Nancymun in Virginia.

The article "The Harvey Family" in The North Carolina Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. III, No. 3 (July 1903), pp. 476-480 appears to disprove that claim. Their son who was named John Harvey was born ca. 1726, married Mary Bonner, daughter of Thomas and Abigail Bonner, of Beaufort Co., NC, and died in 1775. He was Speaker of the Assembly and Moderator of the Provincial Congress in New Bern, NC.

Additional evidence that John E. Harvey is not the child of Thomas Harvey is provided by the Dictionary of North Carolina Biography. Their subject, Col. John Harvey was born around 11 December 1724 in Perquimans County, North Carolina. His parents were Thomas Harvey and Elizabeth Cole Harvey. He married Mary Bonner around 1745 and they had ten children. Thomas and Miles both served in the 1776 Assembly. ^[1]
