He was assigned a Land Warrant on 21 Aug 1784 but never patented it. ^[27]See attached Land Warrant #3430 for possible reasons the land was never patented.^[28]

Research Notes

None of the muster rolls reviewed showed Richard Harvey served with another Harvey. 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. ^{[29] [30]}

Needs research: After the Continental divisions^[31] in 1778, he served with the 15th Virginia Regiment.^[32]
