Notes

  • Nancy married Asbury (Asberry) Harkins on 25 January 1855 in Murray County, Georgia, ceremony by Joseph Terry, Minister of the Gospel.  In 1860, they are living in Towns County, Georgia.  Asberry's widowed mother Nancy is living in their household.

    Some genealogies report she died in 1893 in Coffeyville Kansas.  Joe Harkins reports she was buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Coffeyville.  Several genealogy copy the same information.  I found none that had any documentation, but with that information I was able to find a memorial for her on Find a Grave.
