Notes

"John Harvie was born in Albemarle County, Va. John was distinguished as a Revolutionary patriot and lawyer, and became Colonel of the Virginia Militia in 1776, was a member of the convention of 1775-1776 and a delegate to the Continental Congress from Virginia during the crucial years 1777-1778. He was a signer of the Articles of Confederation in 1777; Secretary of State of Virginia, 1778. He died as a result of an accident in Richmond, Va on February 6, 1807. (He fell off a ladder while inspecting the construction of his home).

In 1780 Colonel Harvie settled permanently in Richmond where he was made Registrar of the Land Office, a position he held for many years at a time when the Western land of Virginia still included Kentucky, Ohio and the Northwest Territory. In 1785-1786 he was Mayor of Richmond. His long interest in internal improvements was a concern he apparently passed to his son Jacquelin, who continued his work in right of way of public land and territories. John Harvie estate sold Harvie Woods for the establishment of Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Va.
