The following aquired from the web from:
http://genforum.genealogy.com/harvey/messages/990.html
For everyones info this is from a study of the Harveys dated August 1957. The surname Harvey (also spelled Harvie) is an ancient Norman personal name which has been adopted as a family designation. Harvey is either derived from the Celtic "Houerf" meaning "bitter" the name gradually changing to Houerv, Herve, and later Hervey, Harvie, Harvey or it is derived from the germanic "Herewig" meaning "Land (War) Warrior" coming from Brittany to England with the Normans. Osbert de Hervey is styled in the Register of St Edmundsbury as the son of Hervey. From him according to the Peerage, sprang the Herveys and Harveys, enobled in in England and Ireland and also from the resemblance of the Arms, the Herveys and Harveys of Aberdeenshire and other parts of Scotland. The origin of the Harvey family can be traced back to Geoffry III Viscount of Bourgs (11th Century) in France. His grandson Herveus de Bourges accompanied William the Conqueror to England and in 1086 held a large Barony in Suffolk. His son was Henry Fitz Hervey. Osbert Fitz (de) Hervey was one of the King's Justices in the 12th Century. William Herveus of the same family a landholder in Normandy emigrated to Surrey in England in 1198. Herve de Leon a descendant of Robert Fitz Harvey who came to England with William the Conqueror removed to Ireland in 1171. He is the progenitor of the old and prominent Irish Families bearing the surname Harvey (Harvie). From Henry a son of Harvey of Montmarsh probably a descendant of Herveus descended John Harvey of Risley who was Knight ofd the shire of County Bedford in 1386. He had two sons, John and Peter from whom descended the Northamptonshire Harveys. From John are descended the Marquises of Bristol as well as the Baronets of Bathurst and the Harveys of Cole Park in County Wilts. Several families bearing the surname Harvey and descended from John Hervey of County Bedford settled in Somersetshire. It is related that the above family, Turner Harvey born 1485 son of Humphrey Harvey was the mightiest man in all England with the longbow. Because of his strength and skill with the bow and bravery in battle, Turner became afavorite henchman of Henry VIII. Tradition states that at his death, no man could spring Turner's bow. Turner's son William was the owner of the castle and manor of Bridgewater. William was appointed by Queen Mary, Clarencieux King-Of-Arms, a position of honor. Thomas (1585-1647), a great grandson of Turner and a younger brother of Henry, the owner of Bridgewater Manor, lived in Ashill in Somersetshire. Thomas had issue daugher unknown; James born 1612; William; Thomas. His daughter amd sons William and Thomas emigrated to America. Turner's brother William Harvey settled in Folkstone, Kent. William's grandson Thomas had seven sons and two daughters. One of his sons was Dr. William Harvey famos as the discoverer of the circulation of blood. His father was second cousin to Thomas Harvey of Ashill and Dr. Harvey was therefore related to the emigrants to America, William and Thomas.
