  • Biography*:      William Harvey probably arrived in Virginia by 1668, if not earlier. Mr. Francis Campfield was given 314 acres in Glouster County, VA, in April 1668, for the transport of six people: "William Harvy, Jno. Roberts, Rich. Peake, Nic. Reinolds, Stephen Pore, and Cha. Gualter." (Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol. II, p. 36, and Patent Book 6, p. 130 in the original record).

          William Harvey served on a Grand Jury in Surry County in 1675 ( Surry Co. Will Book II)

          William Harvey appears in a list of tithables for Surry County in 1678.      

          In January 1695 William "Harvie" of Southwarke Parish sold to John Barker of the same... 235 acres (part of a patent for 335 acres granted to Thomas Cotton in April 1683 and by him sold to William Harvey in November 1685) in Southwarke Parish on the Otterday Swamp and bounded by said Harvey, Jethro Barker and the Holly Bush Island. (Margery Harvey, wife of William Harvey, relinquished her Right of Dower.) Witnesses were Benjamin Harrison, Nathaniel Harrison, Timothy Issell, and Richard Scoging (Surry Co VA Deed Bk 5, p.51).      

          There is no further record of Margery after 1695, and William's wife in his will was Sara, so he must have re-married.      In March 1702 William Short sold land to William Harvey (no further details available, Deed Bk 5, p.266).      William Harvey left a will in Surry County, VA in 1704. He left "To wife, Sara, my land and Plantation for life and then to William Scogging [thought to be his grandson] ye son of Richard Scogging of Prince George. To John Scogging [thought to be his son-in-law] of Surry for life then to Frances Scogging his daughter, a chest that was her grandmother's." There was also a bequest to Joan Adkins of Surry Co. Witnesses were William Killingsworth, Nath. Phillips, and Thomas Adkins.      In June 1714 William Scogin of Bristol Parish in Prince George County sold to Clement Lanier of Southwarke Parish in Surry County for 1 shilling... land above the head of upper Chipoakes Creek between Thomas Farmer and Capt. Cocke. Land was sold by Samuel Swann and wife, Sarah Swann, to William Harvey in July 1689, who willed it to said Scoggin. Witnesses were Robert Nicholson, Jr., and Joshua Nicholson (Deed Bk 6, p.192).      In March 1718 John Scoging and daughter, Frances Scoging, of Prince George County sold to William Mixon of Surry County for 5 shillings... 100 acres in Southwarke Parish (formerly land of William Harvey, decd., who gave it to John Scoging during his life). Land is part of a patent to William Short. Witnesses were John Tyus and John Aviris (Deed Bk 7, p.163).      

          In Feb 1719, William Mixon and wife Elizabeth sold 120 acres to William Short. 100 acres of this land was formerly owned by William Harvey, deceased, who willed it to John Scoging and his daughter Frances Scoging, who sold it to the said Mixon. (Surry Co. Deeds 1715-1730, p. 246)      That William Harvey was Lucy's father is not proven. It is based on circumstantial evidence from his will, from deed records in Surry County, and from the process of elimination.      Although William does not mention relationships in his will, the simplest and most logical explanation of it is that he intended to leave an inheritance to his two grandchildren, William Scoggin, and Frances Scoggin.      

          If that was the case, then John Scoggin was married to one of his daughters, whose name is unknown. The other daughter must have married Richard Scoggin, father of William. From other records we know that Richard Scoggin married someone named Lucy, so she must have been Lucy Harvey.      

          While there are other possibilities, such as that John and Richard Scoggin were William Harvey's brothers-in-law, rather than his sons, that seems less likely, and more of a stretch in terms calculating everyone's age. We know that William Harvey must have been at least 16 years old in 1678, since he appeared in a tithable list that year. That would place his birth at 1658. But since he had grown grandchildren in 1704, a more reasonable guess would be that he was 65 or 70 years old, placing his birth around 1734-39.      On the other hand, there is no record of the two Scoggin men until a generation later than William Harvey, suggesting that they were much younger. And there is no record in early Virginia Land Patents of their immigration, so it is possible they were born in Virginia. George Scoggin, thought to be their father, was in Lancaster Co, VA at least by 1653, so his sons after that date would have been born in Virginia. If they were not his sons-in-law, then who would they have been? It seems likely that two Scoggin brothers married two daughters of William Harvey. Final proof of this is lacking.

  • Biography*: 0567 (Accession # 20682605). Oglethorpe County, Georgia. [1826] Littleberry B. Phillips, by the right
    of his wife Elizabeth, was the owner of a “negro girl slave by the name of Milley,” valued at
    $500. He apparently lost her, and she was found by William Gallaway. Phillips alleges that
    Gallaway knew that the slave belonged to him but kept the slave and “converted the said Negro
    Girl Slave to his own use.” Phillips claims damages of $1,000 and asks that Gallaway appear at
    the next superior court session to answer his action of trover and conversion.
