    1. A North Carolina Harkey
    2. I have posted before and enjoy reading about all the Harkeys. My name is Sandra Secrest Glenn. My maternal great grandfather was James Milton Harkey who lived in Indian Trail NC. 1858-1927. His father was John Fulwood Harkey (1831-1884) His home was within a few miles of his son. John F. Harkey's father was John M. Harkey Sr.(1795-1883). I have documents that substantiate this. What I write next is only what I believe to be true because I cannot find any cemetery records or wills that indicate that John M. Harkey is the son of John V. Harkey Sr. I believe that John V. Harkey Sr was born in 1765 and I have a will of his dated 1821. He may be buried in an old cemetery near the present Morning Star Church which is located near Indian Trail NC. For some reason the original church was destroyed and rebuilt further down the road. However parts of the old cemetery rock wall and a few unreadable stones remain. I believe that John V. Harkey and Elizabeth are buried here, but I have no proof. I do have an old Harkey bible that gives the birth date of John M. Harkey as 1795. I have traced down his homeplace and I know one of the Harkeys that has one of the old logs out of the cabin. I hope the Harkey root list will keep going and I want to thank all those who have shared information with me. I would love to order some of that Harkey honey. Is that possible?
