Notes

  • 1850 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 13 November, page 32(scan p 263), Hse/Fam #1588
    Nancy Harkins 54 [born abt 1796] SC
    Tilman R Harkins  24 M Laborer SC
    Asberry B  21 M Laborer SC

    This family are not found in the 1860 census in Georgia.  The recordfor the 1860 census for Cherokee County, North Carolina, appears to bethe right family, but Tilman's age is reported as only 21 (possibly itis 31) while in 1850 in Murray County, Georgia, he was 24.  The age isalso off for Jane, who was 14 in 1850.  The birth places for Jane andthe children, however, match Jane Elizabeth Terry, daughter Dovina andson John Marshall Harkins.  The ages for the children match otherreports on their birth dates.  This 1860 census also reports his birthplace very specifically as Haywood County, North Carolina, while the1850 reported the state as South Carolina.
