Mother: Margaret Harvie HAWKINS |
CAPT. LEWIS E. HARVIE, a native of Frankfort, Ky., was born
October 9, 1825, and is the youngest of two living sons born to
John and Margaretta (Hawkins) Harvie. His brother, John, now a
citizen of Frankfort, was born in 1816. His father and mother
were natives of Richmond, Va., and Lexington, Ky., respectively.
One of his great-grandfathers, Gabriel Jones, was the first,
and, to his death, the most eminent lawyer of the Valley of
Virginia, a member of the Virginia Convention that adopted the
constitution of the United States, as also the friend, kinsman
and executor of Lord Fairfax.
His grandfather, John Hawkins, was a Virginian by birth, but
represented Fayette County, Ky., in the Legislature in the
beginning of the State government, as he had been previously one
of its representatives in the Virginia House of Delegates before
Kentucky became a State. Later he became clerk of the circuit
court of Scott County.
His grandfather, John Harvie, was mayor of Richmond, Va., in
1786. In 1777-78 he was a member of the Continental Congress
from that State, and one of the signers of the Articles of
Confederation under which most of the Revolutionary war was
fought. This office he resigned to accept the highly responsible
position of organizer of the land office department of Virginia
and was its first register. He and a Mr. John Walker were
appointed by the Virginia Convention of 1775 or 1776
commissioners, with extraordinary powers, to continue the war or
make peace with the Indians, which resulted in the successful
treaty at Fort Pitt. The father of Capt. Lewis E., John Harvie,
was born in Richmond, Va., in 1783, immigrated in 1813 to
Woodford County, Ky., and to Franklin County in 1818, ant the
same year was elected by the Legislature as a director of the
State Bank of Kentucky. In 1820 he was elected by the same body
as the bank's president and was annually, for eight years,
re-elected to the same position, refusing at the end of that
time to further serve. Few men in the State were better known
that Mr. Harvie, he being for years at the head of its greatest
banking institution, a very wealthy citizen and one of the
largest real estate owners in his day. His high sense of honor,
great generosity, public spirit and rare personal and moral
courage were the most characteristics of the man. He opposed
whatever is low, dishonorable and degrading among men, and with
unswerving principle exemplified in his own life that which is
elevating an ennobling. In 1835 he was appointed by Gov. James
T. Morehead a member of the first board of internal improvements
in the State. He also served as a member (Whig) of the
Legislature from Franklin County in 1835, but was not a
politician in any sense and did not seek the place.
Capt. Lewis E. Harvie was educated at Frankfort under the
celebrated teachers B. B. Sayre and Kean O'Hara, and afterward
at Centre College, from which he graduated in 1843. He then read
law with Hons. Charles Morehead and W. D. Reed, later with Judge
Thomas B. Monroe, and afterward graduated at the law department
of Harvard University in 1846. He began practice in Frankfort,
but soon abandoned it on account of ill health and other
business and duties. For while, in 1852, he edited the political
department of the St. Louis Daily Intelligencer, but soon
abandoned that also on account of ill health and failure of his
eyes.
In the late war he took sides with the South, going out in 1862
and returning with Maj. Gen Buckner, as one of his aides, with
the rank of captain. During Gen. Bragg's celebrated campaign was
in the battle of Perryville. He subsequently served at different
times upon the staffs of Maj. Gen Robert Ransom, Brig. Gen. G.
W. Custis Lee and Gen. Beauregard. Before the close of the war
he was tendered, by President Davis, a colonel's commission,
which for good, and to himself highly honorable reasons, at his
own request was never actually issued. He surrendered with Gen.
Lee at Appomattox. Capt. Harvie has always been very bold and
decided in his views upon political and other public questions.
He was among the very first men in the State to publicly oppose
the doctrines of Know-nothingism, contributing no little to the
overthrow of that party in Kentucky in 1856. As a later period
he also did as much, or more, no doubt, than any other man to
effect the suppression of Kukluxism in the State, for years
endangering his life and wrecking both-popularity and fortune to
attain that end. He was chairman of the State executive
committee in 1860 that supported Douglas for the presidency. He
was a personal friend and admirer of Breckinridge, but supported
Douglas strictly from principle. He was also a member of the
State Central Committee of the Union Democratic party that
issued the celebrated Armed Neutrality Address. It was upon his
motion and persistent advocacy, warmly supported by ex-Gov.
Archie Dixon (present but not a member of the committee), that
the clause calling upon the State to arm itself was finally,
after a long struggle, agreed to be inserted in the address. He
was the last to repudiate its provisions and when they were
broken he took the course in the war as stated.
At the request of the Southern rights members of the Legislature
(session 1861-62) he prepared for them an address to the people
of Kentucky, which was carefully examined by a committee of
their own number (appointed and returning to Frankfort for the
purpose), approved without change, duly signed by the committee
in their own and the names of their Southern associates, and
directed to be published in pamphlet form and quietly
distributed in all parts of the State. For lack of funds to
defray the costs of publication, and timidity on the part of
some of the signers the address was never published. Had it been
printed and fully circulated among the people it would, without
doubt, have either created a general armed uprising of the
Southern men (such was its object) or else made certain the
arrest and imprisonment of almost every man at all prominently
connected with that party in the State. This interesting
historical fact has never hitherto been made public.
Although Capt. Harvie has never held nor sought civil office,
nor asked nor received any compensation whatever for his
numerous public services, he has not been idle in his efforts to
develop the resources of his city, county and State, supporting
by his votes, means, time, speech and frequent contributions to
the press, such enterprises as promised material or moral
benefit to either. At the same time he has been the
uncompromising foe to oppression, corruption and jobbery in
their every form, proceeding whence or from whom they might. He
was the author of the new turnpike system of Franklin County
under which it has so greatly developed within comparatively
recent years, drawing up and with the aid of his friend, Mr.
John N. Crutcher, having had passed by the Legislature the bill
authorizing the whole system. With the active co-operation of
Mr. Crutcher, Mr. R. C. Steele and a few other friends, he was
among the first to give the system practical effects by the
construction of the Frankfort and Flat Creek Turnpike, and
enterprise at the time generally believed financially and
topographically impracticable. He initiated, in 1875-76, the
first public movement for the repair of the five dilapidated
locks and dams on the Kentucky River, for the extension of the
slack-water to the mountains, and for improvement of the other
principal water-ways of the State, contributing largely by his
personal efforts and public utterances first and last to the
creation of that sound public sentiment which demanded, and in
the end has partly achieved, these improvements as great public
necessities. But he had no hand nor direct agency whatever in
securing any of the appropriations by Congress for these
purposes.
His mother died in 1831. She was a highly cultured lady of
decided poetical tastes and attainments, noted for her pure
Christian character, profuse charity, and gentle, refined
manners. Few or no families in the land can claim descent from a
longer or higher line of distinguished ancestors, British and
American, or number among their near blood relations and family
connections by marriage, more men of National and State
eminence, (Presidents, United States senators and congressmen,
the first chief justice of the Union, commanders in chief of its
armies, governors of States, and legislators) than can the
Harvie, and this particular Hawkins, families of Kentucky and
Virginia."
