| [Author's note: It has been shown previously in an article published in the Bulletin in February 1987 {[[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hervey/HFAV3.htm#OneHervVA|GoTo Article]]}, that the first Onesiphorus Harvey known to be in the Americas was in Lancaster County, Virginia by 1702. This Onesiphorus Harvey of Lancaster Co. may be the brother of William Harvey, probable progenitor of Col. Thomas Hervey/ Harvey of Halifax, North Carolina, who is the earliest proved Hervey/Harvey ancestor of the majority of the subscribers to the Bulletin. If not a brother, he would likely be an earlier generation of the Thomas Hervey line. | [Author's note: It has been shown previously in an article published in the Bulletin in February 1987 {[[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hervey/HFAV3.htm#OneHervVA|GoTo Article]]}, that the first Onesiphorus Harvey known to be in the Americas was in Lancaster County, Virginia by 1702.

Then, on February 23, 1709/10 Onesph. Harvey witnessed the signing of the will of John Harris in Northumberland Co. Virginia.3a Probably this same Onecephorus Harvey is the one who is mentioned in this court record: "//The Grand jury having presented Dorothy Gaskins for having a bastard child and Onecephorus Harvey coming into Court affirmed that the said Dorothy is and for some time before the child was borne (for which she was presented) was his wife, and that they were marryed according to the Rule of the Quakers whose Religion they profess And having here in Court proved such their marryage the said Presentment is therefore dismissed the said Harvie paying Costs. 18 Nov. 1713.//"((Source: Fleet, Beverly, "VA Colonial Abstracts"; Northumbria Collectanea, Vol. 19, 1645-1720 (Court Records); Richmond, VA, 1943, pp 70-71.)) Dorothy Gaskins was the daughter of Josias Gaskins and his wife, Dorothy Dameron.((Source: Unverified information submitted by Thelma Freet from research of a paid genealogist.
