Looking for info on the Harkin family of Inver Co. Donegal, they appear to be one of the very few 'Church of Ireland' Harkin families in Donegal and I believe their Church was Inver COI
Information I have to date:
My GG Grandparents:
Thomas Harkin c1831 - bef 1911 married to Rebecca Colwell/Caldwell c1837 - 1914
Children I know of:
Thomas Harkin (my G Grandfather) 1860-1906 married to Margaret Dunlop c1850 - c1930
(married Leckpatrick COI Tyrone 1883) had 6 children, 4 survived (James Andrew, Thomas Johnston, Edith & Hugh), Thomas emigrated to New York with the intention of bringing the family over at a later date but died before he could do so.
Ellen Harkin c1869 - 1900 emigrated to New York and married Hugh Nesbitt c1871 - 1899, no known children
John Harkin 1873 - aft 1911 married Mary Jane Coulter c1883 - 1953, stayed in Inver area, had at least 2 children, John & Annie
Andrew Harkin 1876 - 1907 emigrated to New York and married Lizzie ? , had one child also called Lizzie.
I have visited Inver COI Graveyard and could only find one Harkin Headstone:
In Loving Memory of
MARY JANE HARKIN died Feb 1953
ANNIE FREEBORN died Sept 1959
TOM FREEBORN died Oct 1973
JOHN HARKIN died Jul 1982
I believe this could possibly be John’s Wife, Children & Son in Law.
Any more info on this family would be greatly appreciated!
