            Do you have any documentation that shows Thomas Harvey and
Elizabeth Cole are the parents of John Harvey and Mary Boner? I am
researching the 4 Harvey brothers who were in Lunenburg Co. VA.. They
were Charles Harvey and Thomas Harvey and William Harvey and the John
Harvey who married Mary Boner.

           I have a group of Harveys who I am trying to find their
parents for. My Harvey's are in Laurens Co. SC abt 1778. They are:

1) Thomas Harvey
2) John Harvey
3) William Harvey
4) Littleberry Harvey
5) Charles Harvey
6) James Harvey
7) Philemon Harvey

      From documented evidence I have found their parents were an
Unknown Harvey and a Unknown Holcombe both were born abt 1712 to 1717
and Married abt 1736. The parents point to Charles Harvey Senior but it
could be one of John harvey and Mary Boner's sons but it is hard to tell
with out more proof.

          This line uses the William Baker Harvey name in its line so it
is hard to say. I have found that Charles Harvey senior married a women
named Mary and used the name Holcombe for his sons names as did Charles
Harvey junior his son. 

                I have an abstracted deed that shows that William harvey
one of the brothers had given land to his son Zephariah Harvey. In the
deed it states that William Harveys father was a John Harvey. If the
deed is correct the 4 Harvey brothers father would be a John Harvey.

               I have seen genealogies that show the Thomas harvey who
married Elizabeth  who you mention , as the parents of John Harvey, had
a brother named John Harvey. From the deed I have John Harvey would be
their parents, if it is correct.
