John Harvey (Virginia)
Sir John Harvey (died 1646)[1][2] was a Crown Governor of Virginia.[3] He was elected to the position on 26 March 1628.[4] In 1635 he was suspended and impeached by the House of Burgesses (who named John West as a temporary replacement), and he returned to England. He was restored to his post by the King[5] in 1636 and returned to Virginia the following year. His government has been described as tyrannical[6] and Harvey himself has been called "an obnoxious ruler"[7] and was generally held to be unpopular.[8]
In 1639 Harvey was replaced as governor by Sir Francis Wyatt.[9]
He owned Boldrup Plantation.[10]
