Excerpt from John Harvard and His Ancestry At a meeting of the New England Historic Genealogical Society held in Boston June 3, 1885, a paper by Miss Frances B. James of Cambridge, Mass., was read, on John Harvard's English Home, a Caveat in Behalf of Devonshire. It contained the results of some researches made by her in the summer of 1883, in Plymtree, co. Devon, England, where there formerly lived a family of Har ward or Harvard, but no claim was made by her that any relation ship could be shown to exist between this family and that of John Harvard.
