Charles I restored him to his post[6] in 1636. He returned to Virginia in January 1637 and served until November 1639. The captain, officers, and sailors of the ship that transported the governor to Virginia in 1635 sued in Admiralty court for their pay.[7] His government has been described as tyrannical[8] and Harvey himself has been called "an obnoxious ruler"[9] and was generally held to be unpopular.[10] In 1639, Harvey was replaced as governor by
Sir Francis Wyatt.[11]
