HARVEY.
The progenitor of this, one of the very earliest Princeton families, was THOMAS1 HARVEY of Ashill, a village near Taunton, Somersetshire, England. There is no record of his wife's name as far as known. Of his four children William2, his second son, born in 1614, accompanied by his brother Thomas, came to America in 1636 and settled in Dorchester, but soon after re- moved to Cohannet, a new plantation, purchased from Massasoit, Sachem of the Wampanoag tribe of Indians, to which place they gave the name of Taunton. Thomas3 born Dec. 18, 1641, de- scribed as husbandman and son of William2, married Dec. 10, 1679, Elizabeth Willis of Bridgewater. Their son Thomas4, b. Sept. 17, 1682 in Taunton, Mass., married in 1706, Sarah and lived in that part of Taunton which is now Norton. In 1708, an effort was made by a portion of the inhabitants remote from the house of public worship in the old town, to be formed into a separate precinct, for the maintenance of a minister whom they agreed to support. The rest of the inhabitants were unfavorable to this division of the town and at a town meeting held June 1, 1709 Thomas Harvey4 and four others, were ap- pointed to oppose the scheme. A vigorous protest was at once addressed to Gov. Dudley, but the General Court saw fit to establish the North Precinct, which in 17II, became the new town of Norton, and here the children of Thomas4 and Sarah Harvey were born, among them Zachariah, later of Princeton. About 1824 the family removed to Nine Partners (Pine Plains), Dutchess County, N. Y.
HARVEY Dr .- Zachariah5 (Thomas4, Thomas3, William2, Thomas1) son of Thomas4 and Sarah - -, born in Taunton (now Norton), Bristol County, Mass., May 2, 17II, removed with his parents when a lad of 13 to Nine-Partners, N. Y. He returned east and Aug. 27, 1734 married Ame Adams of Pomfret, Conn., and located in Worcester, Mass., where he was a medical practitioner until his removal to Shrewsbury. In a deed from Daniel Willard of Shrewsbury, dated Oct. 19, 1748, consideration 1650£, old tenor, he is described as Dr.

Zachariah Harvey of Worcester. Ward in his history of Shrewsbury families says " He was one of those who living in the Leg; were with their lands voted off by the town in 1752 to be annexed to Lancaster." This annexation did not take place until 1768. He gave by deed in 1752 a lot of land to the inhabitants of "Shrewsbury Leg," for a burying place and School House lot. He sold the following year to Reuben Moore, a portion of his real estate and in 1758 the remainder to Ephraim Boynton of Rowley and removed to the district of Prince-Town near Wachusett. He was among the first settlers of Princeton and its first practicing physician. In 1761 he was at their district meeting in March of that year chosen Moderator, Clerk, Selectman, Assessor and Agent to General Court. While in Princeton he lived on a farm afterwards owned by Dea. Ebenezer Parker and others and known as the Blagrove farm. Dr Harvey is credited with the introduction of the highly esteemed Harvey apple of which there were years ago a few trees in this town. From Princeton he removed to Westminster, Mass., residing there from 1771 to 1774, when he conveyed the bulk of his real estate there to his son Solomon and subsequently removed to Chesterfield, N. H., where he died Feb. 15, 1801, ae. 89 y. 9 m. 2 days. His wife Ame, died also in Chesterfield, Dec. 6, 1803, ae. 88 y. 3 m. 6 days. Their children recorded in Worcester were:
