Hi, I am a descendant of the Harkeys of Mecklenburg and Union Co. NC. My grandmother was Ethel Harkey Hemby. Here is what I know about my line: John M Harkey Sr. born in 1796 married to Sarah Baker and later Hannah Baker. I have pictures of their graves and a will. Their children were Ambrose, Clark W., John Fulwood, and Betsy Matilda, (John and Betsy were twins) Their births are recorded in the Mornigstar Church Records in Meck. Co. John Fulwood is my grgr grandfather. Johh Fulwood Harkey married Drucilla Jane Harkey (a cousin we think). Their children were: James Milton, Mary Elizabeth, Thomas, Ida F. Ella D. James Milton Harkey married Mary Jane Rogers. He is my gr grandfather. Their children were: Daisy, Ethel, Lillian, John, Vernon, Walter, and Annie. James Milton lived in Indian Trail NC. Ethel Harkey Hemby married Will Hemby and had several children including my mother Annie Lee Hemby Secrest. I am Sandra Secrest Glenn. I live in Union Co NC about 10 miles from the place that John Harkey lived in 1796. I know most of the Harkeys around here doing research and we do not know where the John Herche of 1765 is buried. I have been trying for years and years to prove that John Harkey of 1796 was the son of this John. I cannot find him listed in John's will ( John of 1765) Maybe he was too young. There is an old Luthern Cemetery in a field beside a man's house and there are a few stones left standing. The names are illegible. This is where I think John Harkey of 1765 and his wife Elizabeth are buried. This was the location of the first Morningstar Church and cemetery. I have not done much research in Cabarrus Co. where a lot of the Harkeys lived. John Herche of 1765 could be buried there. Anyway this is about all any of the Harkeys that I know in this area know about our ancestors. I am putting this on the family tree maker but I have not finished as yet. I am most willing to share anything I have. I have pictures of Morningstar Church where a lot of the Harkey ancerstors are buried and I will be glad to have copies made of the church and the grave stones. I have promised Mary the gravestone pictures. I will have the summer free to do this as I am a teacher, so it may be June before I can get it all done. I will also be glad to make some videos of the church and area. Thanks for all the help many of you have given me. Your NC Cousin Sandra
