Richard Harvey Virginia Revolutionary War

Profile manager: Helen Rice [send private message]

Private ... ... ... served with 11th Virginia Regiment (1777), Continental Army during the American Revolution.

On 7 November 1776, Richard enlisted with the 11th Virginia Regiment ^[1] as a Private ^{[2] [3]} in which he served the next two years.^{[4] [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]}. He served under Captain William Blackwell and was at Valley Forge the winter of 1778^[16]. After the Continental divisions^[17] in 1778, he served with the 15th Virginia Regiment ^{[18][19][20][21][22][23][24]} under Col. John Cropper's Company. He finished his service with the 7th Virginia Regiment and was discharged on 1 November 1779. None of the muster rolls reviewed (Rice-8480) showed Richard Harvey served with another Harvey, that could be investigated as his father or brothers, although they may have served in other regiments. In a review of multiple muster rolls, Richard Harvey had no illness or desertion documented. If Richard had not had smallpox, or been inoculated after enlistment, he would have been inoculated at Valley Forge per orders of General Washington. ^{[25] [26]}

After the war, John Marshall ^[27] wrote a letter for Richard Harvey for a bounty warrant and it states “I certify that Richard Harvey enlisted in my company in the 11th Virginia Regiment sometime in the year 1776 & that he served faithfully the time for which he was enlisted which was 3 years. Land Warrant S/ John Marshall Then Captain 11th Virginia Regiment” ^[28][29]. He was assigned a Land Warrant on 21 Aug 1784 but never patented it. ^[30]See attached Land Warrant #3430 for possible reasons the land was never patented.^[31]
