Most of the Harkin or Harkins or O'Harkin are from Donegal originating from the area from Clonmanny to Clonka to Derry, in the 'south' Iniskeel to Mount Charles aka Towntallan to Donegal Twon - with a 'sprinkling' in south Fermanagh.
The origins of this sept - the oonly family mentioned in the 8th century praise poem to the life of Saint Patrick can be found in my book: The Irish Matryoshka: A History of Irish Monks in the Middle Ages.
