Harvey was born in England on April 23, 1778. He entered the British army in 1794 and rose slowly through the ranks because he did not have the private wealth which would have enabled him to purchase promotions. He served in the Netherlands, France, Ceylon, and Egypt. From 1803 to 1807 he was in India. In 1813, Harvey, now a lieutenant-colonel, came to Upper Canada and saw action in the War of 1812.
