Hello Nina, On the Israel N. record someone copied the middle Initial wrong or the census taker took it down wrong. He is Israel Mathias Harkey, Jr., son of Israel SR. He married Canzada Jane Gunter and on this census record it list her as C. Jane, wife. The children fit for what I have on them too.
