Correspondence 10/28/99
Seth Harvey, a barrister at law, married Mary Ann Augusta Davenport on 
25 Jan 1834 in St. George's, Bermuda.  She was born abt 1815 in 
St. George's.  Her parents were John Davenport and Jane Vaughn Forbes 
of Bermuda.  I have not yet determined who the parents were for Seth 
but the Harvey name is present in Bermuda back to the 1600's and he 
was most certainly related to the Bermuda family.  Please refer to 
Bermuda Genweb for more information.
