HON. EDWARD HARVEY.
The Harvey family, originally spelled Harveye, are descended from Matthias Harveye, of North- ampton county, England. He settled on Long Island, 1669, and married, December 2, 1682, Margaret Horbit, of Flushing. She died without issue, June 9, 1688, when he married Sarah Har- rington, of Flushing, June 2, 1689. She had three children: Matthias, born April 4, 1690, died Aug, 1742; Thomas, born Oct. 27, 1692, died August, 1758, and Benjamin, born April II, 1695, and died March, 1730. Thomas Harvey, second son of Matthias Harvey and Sarah Har- rington, married Tamar, and had issue: Joseph, born February 8, 1734; Matthias, March 7, 1739; William, August 28, 1748, and Thomas, February 13, 1750, and eight daughters. The daughters were all born in Upper Makefield, but the date of birth and the names are not known. Thomas Harvey, son of Benjamin, who was the second son of Matthias, the elder, was born May, 1749, but nothing is known of his marriage, when, where or to whom. There was also a Joshua
the elder, who married Elizabeth Patrick, and died at St. Thomas, August 24, 1808. While Matthias Harveye, the elder, lived on Long Is- land he attained some prominence, among the public positions he held being that of one of the justices of King's county, to which he was ap- pointed October 1, 1690.
There is some uncertainty when Matthias Harveye, the elder, came to Bucks county and settled in Upper Makefield. As he was living at Flushing, Long Island, November 1, 1696, he must have come to Bucks county subsequent to that time, but we can only approximate it by a real estate deed he was party to. The public records show that on the 8th of 12th month, 1698-9, William Biles, attorney for Thomas Hudson, conveyed one thousand and fifty acres in Upper Makefield to Matthias Harveye for the consid- eration of £275, the deed being acknowledged in open court. In the recital the purchaser is spoken of as "of Bucks county." There is no positive evidence he was then living in Upper Makefield, but doubtless he was, and the inference is equally strong that he died there. At that time, and down to 1713, Bucks county wills were admitted to pro- bate in Philadelphia, and this was the case with that of Matthias Harveye, the elder. It was dated April 5, 1699, and probated at Philadel- phia November 23, 1706, the inference being that he died shortly prior to the latter date. He de- vised his large landed estate to his three sons, as follows: To Matthias, his dwelling house and 400 acres; Thomas, 300 acres, and to Benjamin, 300 acres, the remaining 50 acres not being cov- ered by and included in the bequests. It may have been sold prior to his death or otherwise disposed of. On the death of the sons of Matthias Har- veye, the elder, they devised their real and per- sonal property to their children.
In the last century the Harveye family have become much scattered, few of them remaining in Upper Makefield, although many are to be found Bucks and other counties and states. Enoch Harvey, a son of Joseph and great-grandson of Matthias, the elder, removed to Doylestown, near the close of the eighteenth century, and purchased what is now the "Fountain House," one of the most popular inns of the county seat of the past and present centuries. Here he spent his life, dying in 1831. His wife was Sarah Stewart, daughter of Charles Stewart, Warwick township, to whom he was married, March 20, 1792, the ceremony taking place in the Neshaminy Presbyterian church. Letters of more recent years speak of Mrs. Harvey, nee Stewart, in the highest terms, as a woman of great refinement, intelligence and dignity of manners.

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
The Stewarts were among the earliest Scotch- Irish settlers in Bucks county, Charles Stewart being probably a son of John Stewart, who first appears in Northampton, 1729, and subsequently in Plumstead. Enoch Harvey had a family of several children, among them the late Joseph Har- vey, and Dr. George T. Harvey, Doylestown. A daughter married William H. Powell, Norris- town, who was proprietor and editor of the Doylestown Democrat, a couple years or more, 1832-3. The Harveys have always been a patri- otic family, six of the name from Bucks county serving in the armies of the Revolution, one in Captain Darrah's company, 1777.
Dr. George T. Harvey enrolled his name in a company for the Mexican War, but the quota being full from this state his military aspirations were nipped in the bud. When the Civil War, 1861-65, broke out he was one of the first in the county to enroll, serving as a lieutenant in the Doylestown Guards in the three months' cam- paign in the Shenandoah Valley, and subsequently three years in the One Hundred and Fourth Pennsylvania regiment. Charles Stewart, prob- ably the father of Enoch Harvey's wife, was an ensign in the first company, fourth battalion Bucks County Militia, 1776, his commission bear- ing date May 6.
Hon. Edward Harvey, one of the most promi- nent members of the bar in eastern Pennsylvania, the only son of Dr. George T. Harvey, of Doyles- town, and Mary (Kinsey) LaRue, was born in Doylestown, Bucks county, January 17, 1844. In his early boyhood days he was a pupil in the public schools of his native place and afterward attended the excellent private school conducted by Rev. S. A. Andrews, D.D. Later he attended the high school of Lawrenceville, New Jersey, near Princeton, and in 1860 he entered Prince- ton College, where he remained until the end of the junior year, when he abandoned his collegiate course and commenced the study of law under the preceptorship of Hon. George Lear, then the leading member of the Bucks county bar, and subsequently attorney-general of Pennsylvania. In the fall of 1865 he was admitted to practice in the courts of his native county. In November of the same year he visited Allentown, and on the 8th day of that month, on motion of Hon. S. A. Bridges, he became a member of the Lehigh county bar.
He took up his permanent residence in Allen- town on January 1, 1866, and commenced the practice of his profession in the office of Hon. S. A. Bridges. It was soon evident that he pre- pared his cases with masterly skill and precision, and his forceful and logical presentation before court and jury soon demonstrated his ability to
cope with the intricate problems of jurisprudence. He thus soon acquired a lucrative practice, which was confined not only to the limits of his county but frequently called him to adjoining counties and into the federal courts, as well as to the argu- ment of cases in the supreme court of Pennsyl- vania. He was especially well qualified for the successful performance of the duties of his profes- sion, possessing an analytical mind, a keen insight in the vital subjects involved in a subject, a pleas- ing presence, and superior gifts of oratory in presenting matters forcibly and eloquently. A contemporary biographer has said "In a com- paratively brief period he attained to the leading position at the Lehigh county bar and has since held that place."
Mr. Harvey's study of the political questions and issues led him through conviction to give an unfaltering and earnest support to the principles of the Democratic party. Political preferment had no attraction for him, however, and he was in- clined to devote his energies to his professional duties. Notwithstanding this he gave his party and state the loyal support of a patriotic citizen. In 1873 he was chosen a member of the constitu- tional convention, representing the senatorial dis- trict comprising Lehigh and Carbon counties. In that body he served as a member of the committee on corporations, and took an active part in fram- ing the organic law of the state. On June 14, 1878, he was appointed president judge of the thirty-first judicial district of Pennsylvania to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Hon. A. B. Longaker. The appointment coming to him from a Republican governor, Gen. John F. Hartranft, was a compliment to his professional knowledge and personal worth. He filled the of- fice until the first Monday in January, 1879, the close of the unexpired term. His career on the bench was in keeping with his brilliant record as a practitioner. His decisions were strictly fair and impartial, and clearly indicated a comprehensive knowledge of the law. Only six of the cases were ever appealed, and in each of these his decision was sustained.
After his retirement from the bench Judge Harvey resumed the active practice of the law, and a large clientage is indicative of the confidence reposed in his professional ability by the public. In 1878 he was solicited to become the nominee upon an independent ticket for president judge of Lehigh county, but he declined the honor, and in 1879 he also declined to accept an independent candidacy for judge of the court of common pleas of Berks county. In 1882 he was waited upon by a committee of the judicial conferees of Dauphin and Lebanon counties who wished to obtain his permission to use his name in connection with the
513
GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL.
Democratic nomination, but this he also declined. In the fall of 1903, he, however, accepted the Democratic nomination for president judge of Lehigh county, but was defeated by Frank M. Trexler. On April 9, 1884, he was chosen by the Democratic state convention to represent the tenth congressional district in the Democratic National convention held in Chicago in July of that year.
In March, 1878, when the First National Bank of Allentown was compelled to suspend through the unexpected failure of William H. Blumer & Company, bankers, Mr. Harvey was chosen its president. As the bank was in liquida- tion its assets needed careful handling to insure payment of the debts, and the duties of its presi- dent were responsible and delicate. The dis- charge of these duties called for masterly legal ability and financial skill. In his successful and satisfactory conduct of the bank's affairs he may be said to have scored one of the notable triumphs of his professional life.
-
At one time he was president of the Nazareth Portland Cement Company. In 1907 he became president of the Second National Bank of Allen- town, and was president of the board of trustees of the Allentown Hospital Association, in which institution he took great interest. His services as an orator were sought on many popular occa- sions, and probably the most notable occasion of this kind was his delivery of the memorial address in Allentown upon President Mckinley.
Judge Harvey possessed one of the finest law libraries in eastern Pennsylvania and also had an extensive private library of miscellaneous books. He was perfectly familiar with literature of every description and his retentive memory and power of applying what he had read to matters in hand served him admirably in presenting vividly and pleasingly any subject he discussed. His advance- ment depended entirely on individual merit, and his standing and reputation as a lawyer and thinker were won through earnest and honest labor. Judge Harvey died September 7, 1913, unmarried, and bequeathed a large amount of money to the Allentown Hospital.

grain, hay, etc., and this he has carried on with continuous success ever since. In the year 1892, Mr. Hawk became a member of the Pine Lum- ber Company, of Newbern, North Carolina, and in 1902 he became the president of this company which at the present time manufac- tures 60,000 feet of lumber daily, and gives em- ployment to 500 people. The company owns 50,000 acres of standing timber which is situ- ated in five counties in the state of North Caro- lina. Mr. Freeman Hawk and his family are actively identified with the Trinity United Evangelical church at Allentown, and he has served the church in an official capacity since the year 1885, having been an exhorter, steward and a trustee, and he has always been a liberal contributor.
JOSEPH H. HAWK, the third son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Serfass) Hawk, was born Oct. 27, 1856, at Albrightsville, Carbon county, Pa. He was educated in the public schools, and at the close of his school days, he learned the milling trade with his father in Bucks county. He later rented his father's mill and operated it for a period of thirteen years. He continued this business until 1900, when he purchased the old "Kemmerer's Mill," located on Cedar creek, Salisbury township, near Allentown, now known as the Anchor Roller Mills. This mill Mr. Hawk remodeled and equipped it with the latest machinery, including rollers, a 32-inch water- wheel with a 12-foot fall, cement race, etc. It now has a capacity of 35 barrels per day of the popular brand of flour known as the "Latest."
