FIRST GENERATION KNOWN BLASSINGAME W.HARVEY OF SAN AUGUSTINE CO., TEXAS By Joyce P. Hervey

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hervey/HFAV5.htm

Sometime after Sept. 15, 1817 (Nancy {Scoggins} & John Jones Bowie made purchases of property on that date from the sale of the estate of Jonas Scoggins) and before Sept. 11, 1818, Blassingame W. Harvey married Nancy (Scoggins) Bowie, widow of John Jones Bowie. On Sept. 11, 1818, "Nancy Harvey bought 3 lots in the town of Harrisonburg, and on Apr. 21, 1820, in Ouachita Parish, LA, Blassingame W. Harvey and wife Nancy Harvey, 'wife of the said Blassingame W. Harvey' for the sum of sixteen hundred and seventy-five dollars, sold to John J. Harvey 320 acres of the Scoggins old place, in Catahoula Parish, LA, also three town lots in Harrisonburg. The next day, John J. Harvey purchased of Nancy and Blassingame Harvey, two negro slaves, cattle, hogs, two horses, a yoke of oxen, a cart, and all their kitchen and household furniture."

"On Oct. 24, 1820, John J. Harvey 'for the love and esteem which he bears toward his sister-in-law, Nancy Scoggins, Widow Bowie, now the wife of Blassingame W. Harvey, brother of the declarent ... ' John J. gave all the property (lots not mentioned) back to Nancy."

Why would John J. Harvey buy his brother's property and then six months later give it all back to his brother's wife? Perhaps the answer is that Blassingame Harvey was preparing to leave his wife and his brother felt responsible for providing for her. According to tradition in the Harvey family of LA, "Blassingame W. Harvey 'ran off to Texas, leaving Nancy penniless in Ouachita Parish, and she m. his brother'." No marriage records are available to substantiate that the marriage occurred.

In 1830, Nancy was in Catahoula Parish, LA, where she was listed as head of the household on the 1830 census. She died in 1833, but no public record listing her heirs has been found.

FIRST GENERATION KNOWN BLASSINGAME W.HARVEY OF SAN AUGUSTINE CO., TEXAS By Joyce P. Hervey

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hervey/HFAV5.htm

Nancy and John Harvey probably had the following four Harvey children: Amanda Harvey, b. ca. 1823 in MS; Charles Calvin Harvey, b. 10 Feb. 1825 in LA; John Austin "Aus" Harvey, b. 26 Jan. 1827 in LA; and Daniel Harvey. Whether they belonged to Blassingame or his brother John J. is unclear; however, it is likely that they belonged to John J., since the land transactions cited above seem to imply that Blassingame sold out and left Nancy about 1820. Evidence for the assumption that the above are all Nancy's children comes from San Augustine Co. records.1 Malinda (Bowie) Haggerty and her husband Jefferson Haggerty, along with their young daughter Araminta (b. ca. 1831), Malinda's brother, John Bowie, and three of the four Harvey children named above, i.e. Amanda, Charles Calvin, and John Austin, (Daniel remained in LA) arrived in San Augustine County in 1834 and located near the Blassingame W. Harvey family.

This is how they were listed at the time of the 1835 Sabine District, Texas census:

255. Thomas J. Hagerty 28 married Catholic farmer Malinda, his wife 21 Aramenta, daughter 4 Jane, daughter 5 mo. Nelson, man servant 40 Fan, wife, servant 23 Maria, her child 4 Mareah, her child 5 mo. 256. John Bohe 18 single Catholic farmer Amanda Harvy 12 single Catholic Calvin Harvy 11 Austin 9
