This mornings Oregonian, May, 15, there was an article regading this virus and it is named the Klez Worm and is exactly as described by Lynn. This is the most vicious yet and no cure as yet. The article was written by Al Fasoldt and he received his from a relative so he opened it as he know the source of the message, that is the most dangerous part of it. Sid

Sid she wasn't talking about Klez worm . That is a real virus easily avoided by not opening attachments and having a virus program. She was talking about a part of the windows operating system. There is a difference. However if any one wants to delete that part of their computer operating system -- I can't stop them. This warning is flooding the genealogy lists and causing many problems for lists and listowners. Many people are doing what it says and now will at some point have to have their machine fixed. I told how to fix it in my last letter to the list. Now I would ask that we not waste list space talking more about this. Thanks every one for your patience. We have lost 3 people from the list so far. We only had 89. Mary Harkey Russell bird@glasgow-ky.com http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bird

One of the easiest ways to check on suspect is to go to google.com and put in a few of the words of the text - and it will take you to a place to tell you if it is true or not. Most are not true. Pat in AR

This is a good page to go to and find out about things. This is the address of a page where you can search for Urban Legends http://www.snopes2.com/ This is what it says about our Hoax. Origins: Like the SULFNBK.EXE hoax, this bogus virus warning (also known as the "Bear Virus") attempts to lure gullible users into deleting perfectly innocuous, standard Windows files from their systems. In this case the target file is JDBGMGR.EXE, a Java Debug Manager program used by the Microsoft Java runtime engine. It is included as part of a standard Windows installation, is not a virus, and should not be deleted. JDBGMGR.EXE isn't a necessary part of the Windows operating system and will not cause the system to fail it if is accidentally deleted, although some Java applets may not function properly without it. (The icon for this file is a graphic of a bear .) If you have already deleted the JDBGMGR.EXE file and want to recover it, you should use a file restoration utility or retrieve the file from the operating system installation discs that came with your PC. Mary Harkey Russell bird@glasgow-ky.com http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bird

List--- This is your listowner. Please NEVER send warnings to ANY genealogy list. Next------This last warning was a HOAX. That is not a virus. That is part of your Windows operating system. If you want to delete it -- go ahead. It will just ruin your computer. Please use a good virus program on your computer, update it often and trust it, and then to be doubly sure, don't open attachments unless you specifically have requested one. Read up on these Hoax things. Don't ever send anything to everyone in your address book. If a listowner thinks you should be warned about something that is real, we will warn you. Mary Harkey Russell bird@glasgow-ky.com http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bird

I'm so confused!!! Just received emails saying the "virus" I received was a hoax and don't do what I was told to delete it. Of course, I've already deleted it; so, who knows. I guess you'll have to do whatever you think is right. Sorry for all the confusion. I don't know enough about computers to tell you which is the correct thing to do. Lynn Reener

Our computer has been infected by a virus that was not detected by our Norton Anti Virus program. The virus sits in your computer for 14 days before it starts damaging the system. It is sent automatically to everyone in your address book. Here is how the person who infected me said to delete it... 1 Go to Start; Find or Search Option 2 In the files/folder option, type the name jdbgmgr.exe 3 Be sure you are searching C: drive 4 Click "find now" 5 The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN IT!!!! 6 Right click and delete it. It will then be in your recycle bin 7 Go to the recycle bin and delete it there also If you find the virus, you need to contact each address in your address book so they can delete it also. The person we got it from hadn't been in touch with me for several weeks so it isn't from contact. It is automatic from one address book to another! Please check your computer immediatly. Sorry for the inconvenience. Lynn and Rhonda Reener

Dear family and fellow Harkey Hunters, A few years ago, I was contacted by a lady who wanted to borrow my copy of "Old Timers of Wallace Creek" and I sent it to her. She did not return it and I lost her address and have no way of knowing who it was. However, I did stamp my name and address in the front of the book on the flyleaf. It is my old address of 3510 SE 128th Ave., Portland,OR 97236. If anyone knows where this book is, I would appreciate getting it back. My new address is 1810 NE 21st Ave., Canby, OR 97013. Sid H. Brown

Then if Christina is listed as head of the household, John should be deceased. Meaning that the will of Christina Beavers father Christopher Beaver, written in 1833 showing her as a widow of John Harkey is important. Does anyone on the list have a copy of that will? I would like to have it in my research.

Hello, The deed Patrick mentioned is from Rowan County Records. The deed is hard to read on the microfilm, but on the computer if you enlarge it, things are better. The last page is partly a repeat of the 2nd, but I couldn't get all of the information within the area to copy on a single page. I can send this deed off line, but it is a big file. As the deed mentions ...of Cabarrus county, maybe the Rowan courthouse was most convenient for all who came and therefore we are without all signatures.

Kay Wood: Can you help with Alma's first question here. You sent me scanned images of the "Land Sale Document". Was this a Cabarrus County, NC Deed Book???? I'll forward the images that Kay sent me off- list. It's pretty hard to read. I was not precise when I listed the names in the document....it says "Christopher Harkey, Dawalt Harkey, Margaret & Daniel Frick, Reuben Harkey, Catherine Harkey, Jesse Harkey, Ester Harkey, John Harkey and Susan Harkey"-in that order which appears to be by age. Yes, only Christopher, Dawalt, Margaret Frick and Daniel Frick signed the document. The other children would have been under 21. I mentioned 2 John's: John Harkey Sr and John Weilie Harkey....neither signed the document....we think John Sr was dead and John Jr was a minor. Why wife Christina did not sign is unknown....perhaps this was land designated in a will to be divided among the children....of course I have never seen a will for John Harkey. Even if that was the case, wouldn't she sign for the minor children? As for "Chrishua" HARKY in the 1840 Cabarrus Co census.....I think the spelling is more a function of the transcriber. In the image, it looks like "Christina" to me. I'll send this image off-line as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Junco9@aol.com> To: <plmurphy1@cox.net>; <dcherry@vnet.net>; <HARKEY-L@rootsweb.com>; <Junco9@aol.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 3:45 AM Subject: Re: [HARKEY-L] John Harkey/Christina Beaver > Pat and List-- > > Pat, thanks for following up on the John HARKEY and Christina BEVER family. > There's a lot of information in your posting, and I've been looking through > old files trying to make connections and corrections. > > LAND SALE DOCUMENT > > You refer to "Book 34 page 18: Aug. 4 1837."

Pat and List-- Pat, thanks for following up on the John HARKEY and Christina BEVER family. There's a lot of information in your posting, and I've been looking through old files trying to make connections and corrections. LAND SALE DOCUMENT You refer to "Book 34 page 18: Aug. 4 1837." What is the name of the book, and (if it isn't part of the book name) what is the county? I recall, from your earlier posting about Reuben HARKEY, that you no longer have the original land sale document that you cited, but I hope you can clear up my uncertainty about the notes you made from it. You say that "Christopher, Dawalt, Catharine, Jesse, Esther, Susanna Harkey, & Margaret & Daniel Frick" let Jacob Earnhart have their interest in some tracts of land, but that "Ruben, Catharine, Jesse, Esther, John and Suzanna and John Harkey, didn't (written in ink, sign?,) the deed." If the birth dates I gathered for those children are anywhere near correct, only Christopher HARKEY and Dawalt HARKEY and Margaret (and husband) FRICK would have been old enough to sign a legal document in 1837--or am I wrong about that? Was a person named who was authorized to sign away the minors' interest in the land? And if someone was so entitled, why don't Ruben's and John's names appear among those selling their interest in the land? And, last, you mention *two* Johns who didn't sign. I know only of John Weilie. CHRISHUA HARKEY in 1840 CENSUS Thanks for the full census entry for Chrishua HARKY. I had only the name from the index. But for some reason I thought that Chrishua was a *masculine* name, along the lines of Joshua, Elijah, and Micajah. Do you have any idea who she is? I've dithered around so long that it's almost 4:00 a.m.! I hope this posting isn't too muddleheaded! Alma

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Harkey, Apple, Madden Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zdh.2ACIB/150.152.1 Message Board Post: Hester Harkey Apple and George Apple were my Aunt and Uncle. Hester was the daughter of James Thomas Harkey and Mary M. Madden.

Alma and List: Your explanation on the date of death for John Harkey being 1826 seems reasonable. I do have a question for you and the list and some more info on the 1830 and 1840 census. I have seen the date of birth for daughter Margaret as Dec 21,1827 (several files on Ancestry.com and Rootsweb) or 1816 (David Cherry, Beaver family researcher quoting baptismal records). 1816 seems more reasonable since I'm assuming that this is the Margaret who was apparently married to Daniel Frick in 1837 per the land transaction that names all the children: Book 34 page 18: Aug. 4 1837, Christopher, Dawalt, Catharine, Jesse, Esther, Susanna Harkey, & Margaret & Daniel Frick ---all of Cabarrus County NC, let Jacob Earnhart of Rowan Co. NC have their interest in the Joshua Calloway tract & other tracts for $18.00 (or $2.00 each) but , Ruben, Catharine, Jesse, Esther, John and Suzanna and John Harkey, didn't (written in ink, sign?,) the deed: being part of 300 acres next Joshua Calloway; 114 acres next Henry Fulenwider, Peter Beaver, George M. Highlick & George Miller: & 11 acres next Henry Fulenwider, witnessed by Deavid Hill, John Earnhart, Levi Trexler and acknowledged before Rufus H. Kilpatrick in Aug 1838. I doubt that Margaret was married at age 9. The Christianah Harkey in the 1830 Cabarrus County NC census p203 had the following in the household: 2 males 5-10 (Jesse 1822, John 1824) 2 males 10-15 (Daywalt 1815, Reuben 1818) 1 male 15-20 (Christopher 1814) 1 female 0-5 (Susannah 1826) 2 females 5-10 (Ester 1822, ?Amelia Catherine 1819?) 1 female 10-15 (Margaret 1816) 1 female 30-40 (Christina 1793) Although not perfect, this comes pretty close to accounting for children of the right age. In 1840 Cabarrus County, there is a Crissey HARKY, female age 40-50 with 2 Males 10-20 and 2 females 10-20 on p5 and a Chrishua HARKY, female age 40-50 with 2 males 10-20 and 2 females 10-15 on p11. Hard to tell which one might be Chistina Beaver as the 1840 census in cabarrus is presented alphabetically. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Junco9@aol.com> To: <HARKEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 10:28 AM Subject: Re: [HARKEY-L] John Harkey/Christina Beaver > Hi Mary-- > > You asked for a reply to the list about John HARKEY who married Christina > BEAVER.
