Mary, I don't think your message ("Another Martin Harkey?") included a e-mail address for John Speight, the man who sent you the query. By all means, he should join the HARKEY list and post his descendants! Would you please forward this to him? Anyway, he seems to be asking about the HARKEYs whom I found listed in the 1850 Stanly Co. census: 1850 NC Stanly hh 334 SOLOMON HARKEY, 22, b 1828 ($30 prop) EASTIN, 20, b 1830 1850 NC Stanly hh 395 MARTIN HARKEE, 50, b 1800 ($370 prop) JUDITH, 47, b 1803 That being the case, the parents of his Martin may be Jacob HARKEY ("Old" Martin > John > Jacob) and Catherine TETER, according to Joseph Harkey's information: 3.
