WILLIAM HARVEY (Thomas2 Thomas1). Born in Taunton about 1645. 25 July, 1697, being a resident of Taunton, and King William's War in progress, he was impressed as a soldier. [See original military records at City Hall, Taunton.] He was a member in 1700 of the "First Military Company" of Taunton. In 1711 he was living in Taunton, and joined his brother Thomas in the conveyance of certain land. In 1712 he conveyed twelve acres of land in Taunton to Edward Caswell, and later he sold thirty acres lying not far from his "new dwelling house, near Pole Plain" (now in the town of Berkley). Neither the name of his wife, nor the time and place of his death or her death, have been learned; and, owing to the loss of early Taunton records, it is doubted if any information concerning these matters can now be had. William Harvey was the father of several children, but only the following named are certainly known:
i. SAMUEL, b. 1674; d. 1764.
ii. EDMUND, b. —; d. —.
