Ah, Linda, it is always such a joy working with you. You record such wonderful notes. First, Lula Pirkey, daughter of William and Sarah never married--which gets rid of Harmon in a hurry. I saw the census listing at page 338A and rejected this Lula. I believe it more likely that Lula is the one listed in the household of J. (?) and Hattie Harshbarger (you noted that Sarah Catherine Earman and William T. Pirkey were married by John Harshbarger). 1900 Rockingham County Census Page 82.a Ashby District June 26th Perkey, Lula, born March 1884, age 16, servant. Born in Virginia, both parents born in Virginia She was born February 28, 1884, so March seems fine to me. Also, the Ashby district makes sense. So, Harmon is all yours! I will be delighted to send you the information on Samuel's children when I receive a copy of Lula's will so that I can verify for myself that indeed Samuel's name is noted. William was buried in the cemetery of the Mill Creek Church of the Brethren, near Port Republic, Virginia. Maggie
