Harvie/Harvey
There were six members of the Harvie family that left on the Sloop Sally from Newport, Rhode Island for Pisiquid (Fort Edward) in May 1760. James Harvie (born c. 1703 - died before 19 December 1792) arrived at Pisiquid with his wife Margaret Boyle (married 30 April 1735 at Dalry, Scotland), his two sons John (born 16 May 1746 - died before 28 October 1784) and Archibald (baptized 13 March 1743 - died after 1817), his nephew John (born 1730 - died 1822), and John’s mother Janet Spier (married to Andrew Harvie, brother to John Harvie).
The Harvie family is remembered in Newport Landing for their role in shipbuilding in the 19th century. John Andrew Harvie (the great-grandson of John Harvie) became a prominent ship builder in Newport Landing. John Andrew married Mary Sabra Mosher, the niece of Nicholas and Ira Mosher who owned one of the two Avondale shipyards, and in 1866 took over the shipyard.
