Jacob HARKEY is found in the 1880 Lafave Twp., Scott Co., AR census. He was married to a lady named Elvira. The notes that I have concerning Jacob says that he was married to a Miss JONES. Could her name have been Elvira JONES? Jacob and Miss Jones, according to the family notes, had a son named Vee Ex Zee, born in 1881. Jacob died in 1882 on a cattle drive. Jacob's daughter, Alice HARKEY, married Thomas GILBREATH on 28 Sep 1882. After Jacob died (Elvira was wife #2), did she become responsible for her siblings? Does anyone have Alice and Thomas GILBREATH in their family? Also, in a letter written by Rosco L. HARKEY, Sr. of Little Rock, AR to Walter J. HARKEY of Plainview, AR, Rosco mentions Jacob's five children: Julius, Dutch (Murat Otho), Hagood, "and two sisters, namely Sis Harkey and Edith Harkey." Who is Sis? In the 1880 Census, two other girls were listed Alice and Cinderella. I know Alice lived to adulthood, so was she "Sis"? If so, what happened to Cinderella? Did Edith I. E. HARKEY (as listed on 1880 Census) live to adulthood? If so, did she stay in Scott County? I also know very little about Jacob's son, Murat Otho HARKEY. The last Census info that I have on him is 1900 Cedar Twp., Scott Co., AR. Julius Wellington Cromwell HARKEY, Jacob's oldest son, lived in Lafave Twp. According to the 1900 Census, he was married to Margaret Turner. Their children in 1900 were Buena, Roscoe, and Ranzy. I know they left Scott County in the early 1900s and moved to the Paraloma/Ashdown, AR area before heading to McCurtain County, OK. When did they leave Scott County? I know he bought land from the Bureau of Land Management, but that's about all I know. What should I ask for at the courthouse? Any suggestions on where to look for these family members?
