Thomas F. Harney

[SSlater]

I will call this a "Status Report".

I have reviewed all that I can find on "Thomas F. Harney". I have searched beyond that, and as of now - I know that there was a "Thomas F. Harney". I know what he did , and what he didn't do, but I have no idea "who he was". I do not know where he came from, nor do I know where he went. He existed for 3 or 4 years - and that is all we know.

It appears that he did his job perfectly. He was a spook, and has remained a spook.

There are probably 50,000 various listings for "Thomas Harney", some of these are duplicates, but all the rest can be excluded by information that proves that he is not "our" Thomas Harney.

Was he the Thomas Harney, living in New Orleans, as shown in the 1860 Census? NO!, not if he is the same Thomas Harney that enlisted in the U. S. Army - Missouri Home Guard in 1859 and stayed with them until 1 Nov. 1861. Who I think is "our" Thomas F. Harney.

Did he teach school in Harrisonville, MO. I don't know - there is no record. Was he born in Blair Co, PA,? - he says he was. No! he wasn't. Blair Co. did not exist at the time of his birth. Was he married? He said - NO. Do you believe him ?

Was he on a mission to blow up the White House? PROVE IT, I can't.

Does anyone have anything POSITIVE on "our" Thomas Harney?
