I have recently uncovered a headstone here on federal property (Fort Campbell, Kentucky) with " Harkes Jones born 1859" inscribed on it. It is heavily damaged with no date of death left to read. Does anyone have any possible family connection with this name? I know Jones is common, but the name Harkes is quite unusual. It was found in the Meriwether family cemetery.

According to today's Leaf Chronicle at www.leafchronicle.com "The two-room stone house long believed to have been part of the late 1700s Sevier Station is actually a kitchen building from the T.W. Atkinson household built roughly 30 years later. No evidence could be found to support that the small structure belonged to one of Clarksville's first settlers." It structure is located on land that once belonged to Valentine Sevier. Sandy Ellis
