Greenleaf P. Harvey was born in Glenburn in 1808. When six years of age he removed to Corinth with his parents, where he received a common school education. He was a millman by trade, in which business he has always engaged. He built several mills during his life in Penobscot and Aroostook counties. In 1846 he moved to Kenduskeag, where he built the mill now owned by Mr. Lincoln, of Bangor. In 1870 he came to Levant and settled on the farm now owned by H. D. Harvey. He married Abigail Dexter, a native of Appleton, Maine, and died in Levant in 1872. His wife survives him. He was the father of fourteen children: Loann, who married Henry Stackpole, lives in Kenduskeag; Henry D., married twice; his first wife was Susan Smith, who died; he then married Harriet J. Smith, and lives in Levant. Mary Ann, married Seymour Steele, lives in California; Frank, married Ellminia Hodsdon, and lives in Kenduskeag; Lydia A., married Herman Kendal, and lives in Levant; Greenleaf, married Augusta Hodsdon, and lives in Kenduskeag; Elonia E., married Stephen I.

In 1867, in company with his brother Greenleaf and H. J. Herrick, they purchased the mill which they now run in Levant on the Little Kenduskeag, from Simon R.
