Thomas F. Harney

[STS Lincolnite]

Do we know anything about Harney's earlier life or even his age? There is a Thomas F. Harney I was able to find that was in a Confederate Missouri Regiment. I also found a Thomas Harney that died in Missouri in 1902 (I don't know if it is the same one and don't know if either are the one we are looking for). Any other clues from earlier may start to narrow the field.

The identification of home as New Orleans could well have been a lie - he was a secret service operative after all.
