BEAVER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA: HERVEY/HARVEY FAMILIES
By Joyce P. Hervey

Beaver Co., PA was created in 1800, by combining parts of Allegheny Co. and Washington Co. It's location is north of Washington Co. on the border of the West Virginia panhandle.

The earliest Hervey on record in Beaver Co. was William Hervey, appearing in South Beaver Township in 1800, the year the county was formed. William was over 45 years of age in 1800, making him born before about 1755. The household members in his family, as shown on the 1800 census, were as follows:

William Hervey resided in a part of Beaver Co. that had formerly been part of Allegheny Co. Assuming that he would have been in the area for at least ten years, he would have been shown on the 1790 census as a resident of Allegheny Co. Since Allegheny Co. records are to be published at a later time, it is sufficient now to say that there was a William Hervey shown on the Allegheny Co. census in 1790, who was perhaps this same William.

The 1810 Census of Beaver Co. showed a William Harvey and a James Hærvey (spelling not clear) in Shenango Township and a Thos. Hervy in Borough Township as follows:

Continuing to follow the Herveys of Beaver Co. through the census records, one finds James Hervey and John Hervey, who seem to be linked to the William and James Hervey of 1810 census. James and John Hervey lived just 4 houses away from each other on the census in Little Beaver Township in 1820:

By 1830, the families listed above were no longer on the census of Beaver Co.; however other Harveys were. A younger William Harvey was of Hanover Township and an Archibald Harvey was of Hopewell Township in 1830:

Darlington District was the locale for the John Harvey and James Harvey on the 1840 Census:

The 1850 census, which began enumerating all members of households instead of listing them by sex and age, showed the following families in Beaver Co.:

David (or Daniel) Harvey	age 26	b. PA, farmer(owned real estate $800)
Nancy Harvey	25	PA
Archibald Harvey	63	Scotland(owned real estate $1800)

The last census included for this article is the 1860 Census, which shows the following:

David Harvey	age 43	born PA(occupation: coach trimmer, property $100)
Caroline Harvey	43	PA (real estate $500)
Sarah Thomas	57	PA
John Thomas	17	PA, attend school
William Y. Harvey	15	PA, attend school
Sarah J. "	12	PA
Marvin W."	6	PA
