vey’s name is in the list of officers
of the Continental Line. His name
is also in Knight’s Georgia Roster
of soldiers of the line.
The old Benjamin Harvey home
is in the Meriweather District of
Baldwin county, now known as the
Brown place.
The old cemetery is enclosed with
brick wall and is in fairly good
condition. In the same cemetery is
the grave of the wife, who was Miss
Parham, daughter of the Revolution
ary soldier, Richard Parham.
The children of Mrs. T. K. Myrick
of Milledgeville, are descendents of
Lieut Benjamin Harvey.
A portion of the geneology is here
given, so that others in the state
may trace their own:
1 J. D. Myrick, T. K. Whitehurst.
2 Sixth Parham Myrick, Elizabeth
Dowdle.
4 Miss Parham, Benjamin Harvey,
Revolutionary Soldier.
5 Benjamin Harvey, Revolutionary
soldier.
In Mrs. Cook’s history in records |
copied from the courthouse of Bald-i

of Thomas R. Parham and Amey My- J

A friend who stood over him asked,

“No,

“it is all light! light! light!’’ The:
universal testimony wherever the J

they were blinded by sin as to the

opened to Him to come in, light un
