Catharine HARKEY Self F W W 79 NC I read this as: Catherine Harkey self (head of household or living alone) F (female) W (white) W (widow) 79 (age) NC (place of birth) >
Woops, I was wrong, it does list her as a Widow. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Now we know that Israel was dead and we have the wrong death date on him. Thanks so much. I will go back today and look through my old paper records and see where I got the death date for Israel SR.
