Alma, You are right about Doctor Zelas Alexander Harkey b Iredell, County, NC not being a doctor. Doctor was his given name - why, I don't know! In my info I inherited from my great Aunt Cora Bibens b. 1886, she has Daywalt spelled with a 'y' in it. I also have birth dates and places for Daywalt's and Easter's children. Christina Easter, b. June 23, 1837, Cabarrus County, Nancy Hazeltine, b. July 13, 1840 Cabarrus County, William Lemuel b Jan. 5, 1842, Iredell County, Doctor Zelas Alexander, b Jan 7, 1845, Iredell County, John Franklin, b. March 24, 1850, Iredell County, Mary Jane b May 3, 1854, Iredell county, and Julia Annetta b Feb 26, 1856 in Iredell County. I do not know where they were in 1840 or 1860. My info from Mary Jane Harkey Bibens' obituary states that they moved to Miami County, KS in March of 1869. Cissy Crampton Rose

Louisville KY Courier Journal Newspaper--- this morning while describing the next contestants for the new Survivor show on CBS starting Feb 28 they list one of the contestants as PETER HARKEY .

Thanks for the generation chart for Dawalt HARKEY. His name in Europe probably is/was Dewald or Dewalt, which may explain why it was spelled Daywalt in the 1840 census. The chart doesn't show where the children were born. I'm still wondering where he was between the 1840 and 1860 censuses. That an odd entry for Dawalt's fourth child: iv. ZELAS ALEXANDER HARKEY,DR., b. 1845; m. MARY ELIZABETH BARCLAY. Don't you think it's an error, giving him a medical or academic doctorate? In the 1860 census, when he was 15 years old, his name is given as DOCTOR. In the 1900 KS census, his name is DOCK and he's a farmer. Alma

Dear Harkeys-- John Speight asked if John W. HARKEY had been married twice. The answer is yes. If you keep HARKEY-L posts, I discussed him pretty lengthily in my post dated Nov. 15, 2001, in which I quoted Jerry E. Harkey's post to the Harkey GenForum: << John Weilie HARKEY is my GGGrandfather. He is the son of John and Christina Beaver HARKEY. John W. was born Nov. 20, 1824 in Cabarrus Co NC. Died abt 1875 in Phelps County MO. John W. married Margaret CORL in 1844. Margaret died about 1849. John W. married Mary Caroline RIDENHOUR in 1851. John W. is listed in the 1860 Iredell Co. NC census along with his wife, daughter and 2 sons, of which William P. is my GGrandfather. >> Alma

Don't know where Dawalt was in 1850? Was informed that his name is Dawalt instead of Daywalt , This by a researcher doing the Beaver family.

These appear to have been kids of John Henry Harkey and Margaret Christina Beaver. Lots of Beavers in the SW corner of Rowan Co - 1850 onwards - and scattered through eastern Iredell Co, NC (along with Lipes, Barringers, Blackwelders, Bosts, etc.) John Question: Did this John W. Harkey married 2 times? I have his wife as Elizabeth Corl. His wife in 1860 was Mary. Hmm. John W. was living with Peter and Esther Lentz in the 1850 census for Cabarrus Co, NC.

Hi John-- Thanks so much for the three (John W., Jesse, and Daywalt) 1860 census entries from Iredell Co. I don't think there were any HARKEYs in Iredell Co. in 1850; at least, I didn't find any. Jesse and John W. were in Cabarrus Co. in 1850. Does anyone know where Daywalt HARKEY and family were in 1850? He's in Cabarrus Co. in 1840 and in Iredell Co. in 1860. I was thinking that he may have used a different first name, but I didn't find his wife and children, either. Alma

Dear Donna and the HARKEY list, Donna, do you have Solomon HARKEY's will, written in Mecklenburg Co. NC probably abt 1877? It is available on microfilm from a Mormon Family History Center (film #1561634). I looked at it several years ago. It was so faint that I couldn't make a xerox of it, so all I have are some handwritten excerpts. I can't remember how clear the names were; I copied as accurately as I could. In the will, Solomon mentions wife LINCY[?] HARKY. He makes a special gift of $50 to son GREEN HARKEY "to make him equal with the rest. He gives some furniture to daughter ELVIRA. "I then will all the rest of my property be sold and be equally divided among all my children. Also, the land at my wife's decease shall be sold and its proceeds equally divided between all my children." He designates two sons, M. L. HARKEY and M. J. HARKEY, as executors. The witnesses are M. L. HARKEY, M. J. HARKEY, and W. R. DAVIS. The 1850 Mecklenburg Co. census shows eight children born by 1850. Probably you can find more by checking the 1860 and even the 1870 censuses. Unfortunately, I don't have access to them. Perhaps someone else on the list can give you those entries. 1850 NC Mecklenburg Co. Sardis Dist. p 85, hh 1395?

In the 10 years(almost) that the Harkey list has been in existence, not one Harkey researcher has indicated that their ancestor immigrated after 1850. In fact none that I have known of immigrated after 1800............... Nina has presented a list of such Harkeys ....................... Grace age 20 Sept. 1850 female Johanah age 28 Jan 1851 female Mary age 22, female Margaret age 24 May 1851 female Pat age 25 May 1848 Male Thomas age 20 Nov 1850 Male All of these were of a marriageable age. Questions I have is Did the two male Harkey's appear on the next US Census? Pat in 1850 and Thomas in 1860? If the 4 women married , I don't see much hope of us finding them unless some descendant comes forward. Can we be sure they were going to be permanent residents in America or if they returned on the next ship Grace and Johanah are listed as Servants. Margaret is listed as an immigrant. Poor Mary is listed as a spinster Pat is a workman and Thomas is an immigrant. By designating two of them as immigrant does that mean that only those two meant to stay in the USA? Whether or not these six stayed here, it does indicate that there were other Harkeys in the world that we need to know about. <G> My memory is not good, but once or twice people Have asked me about Harkey ancestors out west like in Kansas, Nebraska, Montana ???. I have no leads on some of those Harkeys, maybe this is them? Mary Harkey Russell bird@scrtc.com .

Nan's list of HARKEY immigrants from Ireland reminded me of something in Joseph Harkey's account of the NC Harkeys. I'll paste it below. Alma >> The Harkeys were Dutch. Whether they had always been Dutch is an interesting question. The name is unlike modern Dutch names, but of course it may have had a different form in Holland. There is place name Harkema in Holland, but a Dutch genealogist insists that Harkey does not sound Dutch! On the other hand, it may have come to Holland from Germany, France, Switzerland, or England. Holland was both a haven for victims of religious persecution and a great mart. Those who did go to Holland tended to become Dutchified. That's why the dissenters and nonconformists left Holland and went back to England: their children acted too Dutch for their English hearts. Of the Pennsylvania German names ending in y or ey, many are derived from French names. Naegly is an example. The Norman name Herichey could easily have become Harkey. Other examples can be cited. The most interesting theory, however, is that the name may have gone from England to Holland between 1660 and 1700, and come to America after the family was completely Dutchified. In the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, there were more than 30 Harkeys (and evidently plenty more) living around Grinton in Yorkshire. There was even a place named Harkeyside. The most common given name for these Harkeys was John. Since the name Harkey was so well established in its present form so early, and in so many places, one wonders if the family's oldest traceable roots may be in Yorkshire, England, rather than on the continent. Whether this question will ever be answered is open to conjecture. >>

Hello Bill, I know these people. I personally knew Wilmar, although he went by William Orville. I see on the SS Death Index his real name was Wilmar. I suppose he didn't like it and changed it because the information he sent me had William Orville Harkey on it. Do you know if he did change it? I am descended from Lydia Harkey, half sister of William Monroe Harkey, father of your Monassie. William Monroe (Uncle Billy) married Emma Caroline Dooly, a sister of Robert Dooly, who married Lydia Harkey, William Monroe's half-sister. So.......Harkey brother & sister married Dooly brother & sister, making their children double cousins. Monassie would have been my father's double cousin. I would love to correspond with you off the list about our family. Please drop me a line. I would like to know more about Monassie and where he lived and died. I do not find him in the SS Death Index although I feel sure he must have had a SS card. Do you happen to have Harkey pictures?

George Harkey born in 1804 was a son of Martin Luther Harkey 1771 and Christine Mensinger. That son George is the one married Martha Swan Masters or was it McMasters( can we get proof on her name?)
