The Geoffery Harvey & The Saskatchewan Connection

Geoffrey Septimus Harvey born in October 4, 1879 in Burleigh Township, Peterborough Co., ON, Canada, died June 24, 1960 in Strasbourg SK and is buried in the Strasbourg Crescent Road Cemetery.

And

Etta Elizabeth Sarah Coons born May 8, 1883 in Dummer Township, ON, died December 27, 1948 (daughter of Allan Coons and Isabella Little), in Strasbourg, SK and is buried in the Strasbourg Crescent Road Cemetery.  They married on March 30, 1904 in Peterborough Co. ON, and moved to Saskatchewan in 1912.


Their Children:

·    Ethel Maria Harvey born May 12, 1905 in Lakefield, Peterborough Co., ON, CAN & died January 21, 1987, Strasbourg SK, CAN.  She was buried at Strasbourg Crescent Road Cemetery. 
-       Resided at 18, 21, W2, Sheowood, SK, CAN in 1916.  She farmed on the Baughman Farm all her life and never married.

·    Sherman Allan Harvey born July 19, 1906 Lakefield, Peterborough Co. ON, CAN & died June 29, 1994 in Regina, SK, CAN. 
-       He married Wilhelmena Iva Lemery (December 10, 1910 – December 21, 2000) in April 14, 1943 in Regina, SK. 
-       Their children:  Iva Harvey - Private, Elaine Harvey - Private, & Joyce Harvey – Private.

“Sherman worked on many farms as a hand until he rented his own land and eventually settled and married Wilhelmina Lemery in 1943. Just before they got married Sherman worked as a hand on a farm near Naicam, Saskatchewan. In his spare time he played hockey, and in a conversation with his daughter Joyce he spoke of being offered to play in the National Hockey League. He eventually bought Nathan Lemery, his in laws farm, which he took great pride in farming until his retirement in 1973.  Upon his retirement he sold his farm to his daughter, Iva.


Sherman lived most of his life in Saskatchewan, a place he loved, and most of all the nature and life that surrounded him.  He spent many hours driving around the country side watching and observing the changes in the country side and nature, at one time he did counts of wildlife for the department of tourism and nature resources.  


Sherman was a great family man, he had a great set of moral value.  He took a lot of pride in his family, daughters Iva, Elaine, and Joyce and grandchildren.  He took equal pride in all of them and would commend them on their achievements and aspirations.  Sherman is a fine example of what a farmer, neighbor, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather and friend should be.  He had many friends and spoke highly of them all.  We will always be thankful and grateful for the wisdom Sherman has given us in showing us how to enjoy life to the fullest."

The Choate - Harvey Connection (ENG-USA)

Generation 1
John Robert Choate* (son of Robert and Sarah Choate) born in 1624 in Groton, Boxford, Colchester, England, died December 4, 1695 in Chebacco Parish, Ipswich, Essex Co., MA. 
AND
Anne Carramas born in 1637 in Groton, Suffolk, England, and died February 16, 1727 in Ipswich, MA USA.  They married in 1660.
*John Choate, son of Robert and Sarah Choate, was bapt. 6 June 1624, in Groton, Boxford, Colchester, England. Both of John's parents died in 1638 and are buried in the cemetery at the church in Groton. After his parents deaths, John removed to Kent to live with relatives, until he was of a suitable age to embark to America. As a young man of nineteen years, he came to this country in 1643 from Sudbury in the county of Suffolk, England, as an apprentice to Mr. Thomas Low. He came to this country with one of his brothers, but the brother returned to England, the following year.
       On arrival, he, soon found employment in Chebacco Parish, Ipswich, Essex Co., Massachusetts and was considered one of the towns first settlers. In 1648, at the age of 24 years, his name appears in a list of one hundred and sixty-one persons who subscribed to a fund to pay Major Daniel Denison for giving military instruction. Hence he was called "a subscriber to the Denison allowance." Mr. Choate married in 1660, his wife being born in 1637 and died on 16 Feb. 1727. They settled upon a small farm which he had purchased, and which he paid for, as the record runs: "In cattle, not over eight years old: In grain English and Indian and partly in West India goods.". This farm stood near the borderline between Ipswich and Chebacco, located at the head of the creek. Mr. Choate's house stood a few rods northeast of the residence recently occupied by Mr. John Low. For many years it was well known as "The Choate Place," and was inherited successively by his son, Joseph Choate, and his grand-son, Daniel Choate. But in later years the old house was torn down, and the farm became merged in others adjacent to it, so that to-day the spot on which John Choate's house once stood is pointed out with some difficulty, even by the inhabitants of the neighborhood, for nothing remains to mark approximately the location except a well on the opposite side of the road.
Choate / Hog Island 1873
       As the years went on he added by purchase to his landed possessions, until he had become the proprietor of two or three farms adjacent to his own. As early as 1667, he commenced buying the shares of common lands which had been allotted to the proprietors of the town. These were located on an island, almost two miles away, in full view from where Mr. Choate lived. The island embraced about three hundred acres, constituting a swell of land, the form of which bore some resemblance to the back of a large hog lying asleep on the surrounding waters. These sea-girt land was wild, covered with trees and bushes. This island, either from its shape or because it was used as a common pasture for swine, or for some unknown reason, since as early as 1637 had been called "Hog Island". Mr. Choate, as opportunity offered, bought, one by one, these shares of the common lands until, in 1690, he was almost the sole owner of the island. The earliest deed of conveyance , now extant, was given in 1678, when he was almost the sole owner of the island and purchased the very spot on which stands the present Choate house , the birth place of the late Hon. Rufus Choate of Boston. Thus this early settler of Chebacco, by his industry, made his mark as a thrifty farmer, and as his sons came to manhood he was able to give to each a farm, excepting the youngest Benjamin, for whom he provided the means of a college education. Benjamin graduated from Harvard College in 1703 and went on to become a preacher at Kingston, leaving there before 1725. Mr. Choate for more than half a century lived among his neighbors a worthy example of industry and thrift.

  • Rev. Benjamin Choate, born 1680 Ipswich MA; died November 26, 1753. He married Abigail Burnham June 12, 1707.
Generation 2
Capt. Gov. Thomas Choate* (John, Robert) son of John Choate, was born 1671 in Chebacco Parish, Ipswich, MA, died March 31, 1745 in Chebacco Parish, Ipswich, MA.  He married (1) Mary Varney 1690, daughter of Thomas Varney and Abigail Proctor. He married (2) Mrs. Mary Calef September 24, 1734. He married (3) Hannah (Cogswell) Burnham November 9, 1743.
Thomas Choate, the third son of John Choate, the immigrant, has been characterized by one of his descendants as "a spruce young man." It has been already mentioned that by a gift from his father he became sole proprietor of the lands on "Hog Island."
       At the age of nineteen years; in 1690; he married a young lady, Mary Varney, whose mother is famous in history as a leader among those Chebacco women who were quite equal to the raising the first meeting house in the spring of 1679, from which their husbands had desisted by order of the General Court, when the sills were already laid. "like mother, like daughter," the young couple were the first white settlers on the island. Theirs was a pioneer life, having to grapple with many difficulties and hardships. His prominence was recognized by the people. He was their Representative to Colonial Legislature from 1723-1727. Mary was born in 1669 in Ipswich, Mass. and died on 19 Nov. 1733.

Salem Witch Trial 1692-1693
       Mr. Choate came to be popularly known as "Governor Choate." This for what reason we may not divine, save perhaps his sole proprietorship and supremacy over "Hog Island", unless it was because of these qualities of leadership and command which marked him as a man fitted for the chief magistry of a State.
       He was one of the thirty-one men who signed Rev. Wise's letter in behalf of John Proctor, who was condemned for witchcraft. Mr.Choate was one of the witnesses to the will of the unfortunate man, which was written in Salem jail while the manacles were on Proctor's wrists, only three days before his execution.

John Burnham House 1684
       Thomas lived on "The Island" for thirty-five years, he reared there a noble family. One of his daughters became the wife of a minister, one of his sons a ruling elder, and another was scarcely less distinguished in law and in state, for his day; than was a later descendant, the Hon. Rufus Choate, of Boston. In 1725, He removed to the main land, to what was known as the "John Burnham Place." Mr. Choate had become possessed of a large landed property. He owned two farms on the island, the Randall Andrews farm in Ipswich, a farm of four hundred acres in Rockport, on the coast near Thatcher's Island, a farm in the West Parish, one on Jeffrey's Neck, and a farm to which he had removed, making seven in all.
