♂Joseph Harvey

Joseph Harvey was, on compiled family lines, a son of John Harvey (1757–1819) and Jane Beauchamp (1760–1821). He was the third great-grand-uncle of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), the brother of Beauchamp Harvey (1788–1859), Nancy Jane’s third great-grandfather.

Family

A birth year of 1791 and a birthplace of Baltimore, Maryland are given for him, but neither is documented, and no death date or place is documented either. His place in the family rests on compiled lines. A typed descent sheet for a Mount Carmel branch of the Harveys, which cites the Daughters of the American Revolution, says that John Harvey married Jane Beauchamp in Virginia in 1784 and had “Two children”, Joseph, “married to Wright”, and Beauchamp, “married to Hester Saylor”. The second marriage matches Beauchamp’s own: he married Hester M. Saylor in Pickaway County, Ohio, in 1816. The first gives only a surname for Joseph’s wife, with no forename or date, and no record in Joseph’s own name confirms that he was the son of John and Jane.

Notes

Same-name men in Clermont County

Index entries for Clermont County, Ohio, name a Joseph Harvey on tax lists in 1814, 1817, 1820 and 1822, and a Joseph Harvey who married Elizabeth Leming there on 25 March 1830. Nothing ties either to John Harvey’s son, and the bride’s surname is not Wright, so neither is entered here.
