Notes for Alison Clark HARVEY

"A. C. HARVEY, an enterprising nurseryman and farmer, and a public-spirited citizen, was born in Hardy County, Virginia, in the year 1828. In 1834 he came to Indiana with his father, B. C. Harvey, who settled in Tippecanoe County, and the winter
following the family resided in La Fayette. The father and his boys employed themselves in hauling wood from the woods, where Sample's pork house now stands, to La Fayette, and at that time there was but one cabin south of Sample's Run.
The country, which in that vicinity was then swamp, wilderness and woods, is now covered over with dwellings, depots and railroads. In the spring of 1835, the father bought the old George Stump farm on Indian Creek, five miles northwest of La Fayette,
at which place the subject of this sketch still resides. His father died in 1841, and seven years later his mother died, leaving him to care for and provide for the five younger children."
From "Biographical Record and Portrait Album of Tippecanoe County, Indiana," published 1888.
A C Harvey and B C Harvey, along with many others from that Harvey family, are buried in Burton Cemetery, Klondike, Wabash Township, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. A headstone for an 'A R Harvey' shows a date of death as April 24, 1848. That agrees with
the seven-year difference given in the biographical sketch for A C Harvey's family.

commentator, and Abraham Clark, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence."
