Dear Harkeys-- John Speight asked if John W. HARKEY had been married twice. The answer is yes. If you keep HARKEY-L posts, I discussed him pretty lengthily in my post dated Nov. 15, 2001, in which I quoted Jerry E. Harkey's post to the Harkey GenForum: << John Weilie HARKEY is my GGGrandfather. He is the son of John and Christina Beaver HARKEY. John W. was born Nov. 20, 1824 in Cabarrus Co NC. Died abt 1875 in Phelps County MO. John W. married Margaret CORL in 1844. Margaret died about 1849. John W. married Mary Caroline RIDENHOUR in 1851. John W. is listed in the 1860 Iredell Co. NC census along with his wife, daughter and 2 sons, of which William P. is my GGrandfather. >> Alma
