John Harvey (Royal Navy officer, born 1740)
Captain John Harvey (9 July 1740 – 30 June 1794) was an officer of the British Royal Navy whose death in the aftermath of the battle of the Glorious First of June where he had commanded the HMS ''Brunswick'' terminated a long and highly successful career and made him a celebrity in Britain, a memorial to his memory being raised in Westminster Abbey.
==Early career==
Born in 1740 at Eastry, Kent, John Harvey was the son of Richard and Elizabeth Harvey ''née'' Nichols, local gentry. Entering the Navy in 1754, Harvey began a long family naval tradition, taken up by his brother Henry Harvey a few years later. His first ship was HMS ''Falmouth'', a fifty gun fourth-rate in which he stayed for five years into the Seven Years' War. In 1759, promoted to lieutenant with the patronage of Admiral Francis Holburne and distant relation Sir Peircy Brett, Harvey joined the sloop HMS ''Hornet'' and frigate HMS ''Arethusa'', taking shore pay in 1762 at the war's conclusion. The same year he married Judith Wise of Sandwich, Kent and the couple had large family, their sons including several future admirals.〔(Harvey, John ), ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', J.
