To David Peterson:

Hi, my name is Jim Marsh.

I came across your name and email from your internet site, "The Harkness Families in America". You say on your site that you would be glad to check your records for family members. I'd like to take you up on your offer, if you are still willing to help. I know a fair amount about my ancestors back to William Turner Harkness, b Aug 31, 1869. But I confess that I am an amatuer who hasn't documented his facts as well as I should. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Here is what I know, or at least think I know:

My mother's name is Bonnie Ball Harkness, of the following line:

John Rankin Harkness b Mar 26 1830, d Jun 11, 1903
m Irene Jordan b Nov 30, 1844, d Nov 15, 1916

William Turner Harkness b Aug 31, 1869 in Biloxi, Mississippi, d May 31, 1941
m Sadie Adelaide Stilphen on Sep 2, 1869

William Newell Harkness b Jun 29, 1897 in Biloxi, Mississippi, d Dec 21, 1971 in Texarkana, TX
m Bonnie Andersen Ball in Jul 1921 in New Boston, Texas

Bonnie Ball Harkness (my mother) b Aug 12, 1925 in New Boston, Texas (livin)
m James Marsh, my father who died Feb 7, 1976.

Thanks for any help you can give to me.
Jim Marsh
