My greatfather was Washington Lafayettte Harkins, who was born in Selma, Alabama, in 1859, but I believe the family lived outside Selma in Perry County.His father, Isaac Harkins, was born in South Carolina somewhere between 1803 and 1810.Isaac lived in Perry County, Alabama, in 1840.He had married Haney Oakes, and their first child, David Alexander Harkins, was born in 1840.Isaac's father is said to be Thomas Harkins, born in South Carolina in 1779, and his mother's name is recorded as Martha, but nothing else is known at this time about this Thomas Harkins family.
