> | > | Now I'm wondering: What if Rhoda's middle name is ELLEN??? > | Moses I Harkey took as his second wife Rhoda Parham Wiggins a widow of Madison Wiggins. Rhody had one son Richard. He is the 8 year old showing on the census that Mary Fowler Leek sent. The John age 1 is the first child of Mose and Rhody- He grew up to marry Mary Elizabeth Tucker. The James T. on that census is my Grandfather James Thomas Harkey who was the son of Mose and first wife Nancy Jane McCarley daughter of Abraham. James Thomas Harkey married Mary Magdaline Madden, daughter of George W. The William on the census is also a son by the first wife. Billy married Emma Caroline Dooley. The Louisa age 13 was Louisa Emeline born in 1857. I don't know what happened to Louisa???????? Sarah A. age 15 was Sarah Ann Delphenia Harkey who married Thomas Jefferson Gunter and they went to San Saba Texas. Mose Harkey seems to have done a good job in picking good women for his wives. Each one, after the first one died, raised the children from the last wife. His last one Jane Moore, didn't have any children by him but was highly respected and loved by all the adult children, and grandchildren. Jane Moore Harkey died in 1933 and my father and aunts considered that she was their "real" Grandma. Mary Harkey Russell bird@scrtc.com
