Harvey Newcomb was born on September 2, 1803 in Thetford, Vermont, United States. He was a descendant of Captain Andrew Newcomb who was in America as early as 1666. Harvey was the son of Simon and Hannah (Curtis) Newcomb. In 1818 the family moved to Alfred, New York.
Turning his attention to journalism, Newcomb became the owner and editor of the Western Star of Westfield, New York (1826 - 28), editor of the Buffalo Patriot, an anti-Masonic paper (1828 - 30), and of the Pittsburgh Christian Herald, a paper for children (1830 - 31). The following ten years were devoted to writing books for children and young people.
Without a college or seminary training, but with the preparation afforded by his years of teaching and writing, Newcomb turned toward the ministry. He was licensed in 1840 and supplied the Congregational church in West Roxbury, Massachussets, during the two following years. On October 6, 1842, he was ordained pastor of the church in West Needham, now Wellesley, Massachussets, where he remained till July 1, 1846, when with twenty-six of his parishoners he withdrew and founded the church at Grantville, now Wellesley Hills.
Returning to journalism in 1849 he was assistant editor of the Boston Traveller for a year and of the New York Observer for two years. He then settled in Brooklyn, where he conducted a private school for young ladies and engaged in authorship and in Sunday-school and mission work.
In 1859 he became pastor of a church in Hancock, Pennsylvania, and remained as such till ill health forced his retirement to Brooklyn, in which city he died.
Newcomb had a genius for assimilating and imparting information and his literary output is estimated at as high as 178 volumes, some of which were published anonymously.
He probably came as near as any author of his day to adapting his writings to the mental capacity of children and young people.
Newcomb was deeply interested in city mission work and has been called the father of the mission Sunday school. He left in manuscript an interesting autobiography.

Newcomb had an intelligent conception of Bible study and in some respects anticipated the historical criticism of a later generation.
Newcomb was an ardent and zealous worker, but in his contact with people his zeal sometimes outran his tact, a factor which tended to make his pastorates of short duration. His writings are characterized by taste, judgment, wide and accurate information, and an intense desire to benefit humanity.
On May 19, 1830, he was married to Alithea A. Wells by whom he had two sons and two daughters.
