HENRY HARRISON HARVEY, dealer in real estate, Wilkes-Barre, was born in Plym- outh, September 30, 1840, and is the third in the family of four children of Jame- son and Mary (Campbell) Harvey, of Scotch-Irish descent. In his father's family there were four children, of whom he is the third. He is a grandson of Elisha and Rosanna (Jameson) Harvey, and a great-grandson of Benjamin Harvey, who came from Lyme, Conn., about 1770, and settled in Plymouth, bringing with him his children, his wife being deceased; he afterward married Mrs. Katherine Draper, of Kingston, Pa. He had three sons: Benjamin, of Capt. Ransom's Independent Company, Revolutionary service, who died at Valley Forge from the severity of the winter; Silas, who fell in Capt.

On the evening of December 6, 1780, while the elder Mr. Harvey, his son Elisha, and daughter Lois, Miss Lucy Bullford and George Palmer Ransom were seated around a bright wood fire in his home in what is now the town of Plymouth, six Indians entered, bound them and started for Canada, where was then the best market for their captives. When they arrived on the top of the Shawnee mountain, they held a consultation, which resulted in the release of the two young ladies, whom the chief painted in true Indian style, and sent them to Col. Butler with the remark to tell him that "I put on this paint." The young women made their way through the dark forest on that cold winter night and arrived at the Wilkes- . Barre fort the following morning. At the close of the following day the party were at the head waters of the Mehoopany creek, where they remained till morning.

HISTORY OF LUZERNE COUNTY.

Benjamin Harvey was nearly seventy years of age and it was plainly evident that he could not endure the heavy march before him, so a council of war was held, the old gentleman fastened securely to a tree with thongs, and three young warriors stand- ing but three rods away hurled their tomahawks at him. Owing to the youth and inexperience of the would-be executioners, they all missed him, when, the chief thinking that the "Great Spirit" had saved him, he was set free. Bewildered with fatigue and the effect of this terrible experience he lost his way, and at the close of the following day came to the very spot which he had left on that fearful morning. He wandered about till the fourth day, when he reached the Fort at Wilkes-Barre, during which time he was compelled to eat of the flesh of a small dog that had met him on the mountain. Ransom and Elisha Harvey were taken to Canada, where the former was turned over to the British, whence he subsequently escaped and died in Plymouth at an advanced age. Harvey, who was about seventeen years of age, was active and sprightly, and won the good opinion of his master; he remained with the Indians till spring, when he was traded for a half-barrel of rum to a Scotch merchant in Montreal, who made him his clerk. From here he managed to com- municate with his family, and in 1782 his father, through the influence of Gen. Schuyler, secured his exchange for a British lieutenant, a prisoner held at the Wilkes-Barre fort by Col. Butler, thus having been nearly two years a prisoner. He died March 13, 1800, at the age of forty-two years, and his father, Benjamin Harvey, died November 27, 1795, at the age of seventy-seven years. Jameson Har- vey, born January 1, 1796, died July 4, 1885, at the advanced age of nearly ninety years.

Our subject was educated at Middletown, Conn., Edge Hill School, Princeton, N. J., and finished his education at Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pa. He was called home in the beginning of his senior year to assume the duties as man- ager of the Harvey Mines at Nanticoke, to take the place of his brother who had enlisted in the army. In the year 1863, the firm of Harvey Brothers (composed of William J. and H. H. Harvey) was formed, for the purpose of mining and shipping coal from the Harvey Mines, one of the oldest mines in the Valley. This business was continued until about 1872, in all over forty years, without a single loss of life, when the mines were sold to the Susquehanna Coal Company. The firm was also engaged in the lumber business, and continued in that until 1886, when they sold out their mills and timber land. Real estate was also carried, along with their other inter- ests, and eventually it developed to such an extent that they are now probably, out- side of the coal corporations, the largest owners of tenement houses in the Valley. H. H. Harvey has the supervision of all the real estate connected with the firm, and he is also identified with many other enterprises and corporations. He is also inter- ested in the Wilkes-Barre & Wyoming Valley Traction Company, Sanson Cutlery Company, Anthracite Savings Bank; a life member and trustee of the Wyoming Historical and Geogolical Society, and a director in the following corporations: Wilkes-Barre Electric Light Company, Wyoming Valley Ice Company, First National Bank of Plymouth, Plymouth Water Company, Plymouth Light, Heat and Power Company, Hunlock's Creek and Muhlenburgh Turnpike Company, etc. Mr. Harvey takes great interest in blooded stock, and owns some of the finest trotting- bred stock of horses in the State. He is president of the Trotting and Pacing Horse Breeders' Association of Eastern Pennsylvania, and has done much to pro- mote its welfare. He was united in marriage April 15, 1885, with Jennie J., daughter of Gasherie and Jennie (Dowling) De Witt, natives of New Jersey and England respectively. The issue of this union is three bright children: Marjorie, Hazel and Josephine. Mrs. Harvey's father, who was the founder of the De Witt Wire-Cloth Company, at Belleville, N. J., was a nephew of Chief Justice Horn- blower. She is a granddaughter of Gasherie and Christianna (Hornblower) De Witt, the latter of whom was a granddaughter of Josiah Hornblower, who was sent over by King George III, to take charge of copper mines, and who afterward left the crown and had a reward of £5,000 placed on his head. She is a great-
