==Early life and family==
Harvey Oyer was born at home in Boynton Beach, Florida, the son of Harvey E. Oyer and Lillian Frederica “Freda” Voss Oyer. A fourth generation Floridian, Oyer was the great grandson of pioneer settler Captain Hannibal Dillingham Pierce, who was one of the first non-Native Americans to settle in Southeast Florida, arriving in 1872.〔Pioneer Life in Southeast Florida by Charles W. Pierce, University of Miami Press, 1970〕 Pierce was one of several early settlers who planted thousands of coconuts salvaged from a Spanish shipwreck in 1878.〔 The resulting acres of coconut palms eventually provided Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach County with their respective names.〔The Wreck of the Providencia in 1878 and the Naming of Palm Beach County, South Florida History, Vol. 29, No. 4, 2001〕 Oyer was the grandson of Lillie Pierce Voss, the first white child born between Jupiter and Miami, an area that now has approximately six million people. She was inducted into the Florida Women%27s Hall of Fame in 2013. He was the grand nephew of Charles W. Pierce, who was elected a Great Floridian in 2009. Oyer gave the acceptance speech when Florida Governor Charlie Crist presented Pierce for induction as a Great Floridian. Oyer’s son, Harvey Eugene Oyer III, is the author of a best-selling children’s book series about Pierce, entitled ''The Adventures of Charlie Pierce''.
