Old Harvey Farm Cemetery, Tippecanoe County, Indiana

OLD HARVEY FARM CEMETERY
a.k.a. Ash Grove
Tippecanoe Township
Tippecanoe County, Indiana

    Location ½ mile east of highway 43 N. on Co. Road 900 N. It is about 4 miles south of Brookston and 4 miles north of Battleground. Surrounded by iron fence it was cleared and restored in 2000.
    This cemetery was located on the old Harvey farm owned by Robert Harvey on the old Ash Grove road. His wife, Henrietta Harvey, inherited the farm with a birth right going to his youngest son Joseph Parnell Harvey. In 1838 Joseph and Mary Harvey sold that birth right to his brother, John Pollard Harvey. Unfortunately, John was killed in 1849 and the courts issued a decree saying that parts of the land should be sold for the support of Henrietta. She passed away in 1856 and John's descendants took possession. In 1862 Eliza J. Harvey, John's daughter, sold the land to John R. McAfee. McAfee's descendants hold title to the surrounding cemeteries land to this day.
