Education and career

Born on June 21, 1781, in Sutton, New Hampshire,[1] Harvey studied under private tutors, graduated from Dartmouth College in 1806, and read law in 1809.[2] He was admitted to the bar and entered private practice in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, from 1809 to 1814.[3] He was a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 1814 to 1821, serving as Speaker for three terms, from 1818 to 1820.[4]

Because of Harvey’s 14-inch club foot on his right leg, fellow Congressmen ironically nicknamed him “Lefty”.

Harvey was a member of the New Hampshire Senate from 1825 to 1827, serving as President.[7] He was a member of the Executive Council of New Hampshire from 1828 to 1829.[1] He was the 13th Governor of New Hampshire from 1830, until his resignation on February 28, 1831, to accept a federal judicial appointment.[8][9]

Federal judicial service

Harvey received a recess appointment from President Andrew Jackson on November 2, 1830, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire vacated by Judge John S. Sherburne.[10] He was nominated to the same position by President Jackson on December 14, 1830.[1] He was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 16, 1830, and received his commission the same day.[1] His service terminated on April 7, 1866, due to his death in Concord, New Hampshire.[11] He was interred in Old North Cemetery in Concord.[12]

Harvey was the son of Matthew and Hannah (Hadley) Harvey.[13] Harvey was the brother of Jonathan Harvey, also a United States representative from New Hampshire.[14]
