Hello List, Sid Brown, and other researchers of the San Saba branch of Harkeys, I need your help please. On the 1880 US Census in San Saba, TX. we find Catherine Harkey living alone. I have searched all of the state of TX and Yell County, AR. for her husband, Israel Mathias and can not find him. He is not living with anybody and is not listed on the census (I have the set of CD's from LDS for the whole USA Census for 1880). Do I have his death date recorded wrong. I have that he died 3 Nov. 1896 and his wife, Catherine Furr Harkey died 20 July 1892. Is this correct? If Israel Mathias was living in 1880 where is he? Does anyone have a census record on him for 1880? Here is his wife, Catherine: Census Place: Precinct 4, San Saba, Texas Source: FHL Film 1255326 National Archives Film T9-1326 Page 439A Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Catharine HARKEY Self F W W 79 NC Occ: Keeping House Fa: NC Mo: NC Thanks, Flora
