Biography
This profile is part of the Harney Name Study.
Name: James aka Jacob Harney was the son of Luke Harney and Margaret Carroll aka Kitsen/Kitchen from Cahir, Tipperary, Ireland. James aka Jacob was the second son named James, as the first one, born a year earlier died in infancy.
Research Note: Mother's maiden name looks like Kitsen on the first James' baptism in 1815, and like Kitchen on the second James' baptism in 1816. This is likely phonetic spelling. The first James died and the second son was named the same. Margaret's maiden name on other records becomes Carroll. Since the Carroll name is common in the parish, and no other mention of Kitsen/Kitchen was found, Carroll is being used here.
James' parents came to America and settled in Glengarry, Ontario, Canada.
Born Birth date is baptism date. Baptism: 23 Jul 1816. Cahir, Tipperary, Ireland.
Died 1899 New York. Buried Clinton County, New York, United States of America.
