He was the first son of Sir Eliab Harvey and the brother of William Harvey. On 23 November 1680, he married a 12-year-old heiress, Dorothy, the daughter of Sir Robert Dycer, 2nd Baronet but died on 3 June 1681 and was buried at Hempstead. The ecclesiastical court found the marriage was not consummated, and she married her brother-in-law William three months later.[1]
