I do not think this is a new Harkey line---just slightly different dates on the old one. Martin Harkey born 1744 or 1750 not much difference Son John married to Elizabeth I didn't have her last name. b 1765 or 1769 They had a son John b 1796 who married Sarah Walcher---I didn't know who this John married where he died or who his children were. But members of this family did go west as Alma can testify and as several others on the list know. Of John and Elizabeth's children --- Martin Luther/Catherine Conder ->>>>-Texas Susannah ???? Peter/ Peggy Drew ??? two daughters---?? John ??? Daniel David/Bary Ann Bankston or Mgt. Thompson> Georgia and Missouri Solomon and Sophia Cress--->> Illinois >>>>> California I think this is just more of Martins family --Who agrees or disagrees? Does anyone of us have proof of where Martin was actually born? Does anyone of us have proof os Martin Harkeys actual birthdate.?
