Reply to Jane Evans about Robert Harper .... I'm seeking the names of the parents and siblings of Mathew Harper, born 14 Aug 1837, in Richland Co., OH, and married Anna Marie Little, born 3 June 1847, in Licking Co., OH. They tied the knot in Marietta, IL, 28 March 1872. I noticed some of your Harpers were named Matthew. You think there's any connection?

My family has always said that we are 1/64th Cherokee and that would have made one of J.T.'s parents 100% Cherokee Indian. I do not know if this helps or not but if it ties in with what you have please let me know. We are at a dead end with this name and can go no further back that J. William and Oralea.

Hello. I am researching HARPER and trying to tie the name in with the Cherokee. Has anyone ever heard of a HARPER who was a trader/trapper and was involved with the Cherokee Indians ? The time period I am looking at was around 1800. There is a possibility this HARPER was white or part Cherokee. Thanks for your time. Janis Foley [email protected] P.S. Has anyone ever seen a HARPER-DOWNING connection ??

X. James D. HARPER1 was born in 1880.

I wanted to submit the sketchy information I recently found on my Harper's. I hope someone here has a connection somewhere so I can locate which counties in MS and SC this bunch came from. R.B.G. HARPER b. about 1811 bp. South Carolina d. about 1878 dp. Grand Chenier, Cameron Parish, LA bur. McCall Cemetery in Grand Chenier m. Mary Ann Thomas b. 1812 bp. South Carolina d. 1877 dp. Grand Chenier, Cameron Parish, LA bur. McCall Cemetery in Grand Chenier Children: 1. Ira Glenn HARPER b. about 1855 bp. MS d. about 1898 dp. Grand Chenier, Cameron, LA bur. McCall Cemetery m. Mary Virginia DOXEY b. 13 MAR 1858 or 1859 bp. LA d. about 1910-11 dp. Cartwright, McKenzie Co., ND 2. Dora HARPER b. about 1851 bp. MS d. ? dp. ? Possible other children may be: J.D. HARPER b. about 1849 in MS There is also an A.W. HARPER b. about 1937. I apologize for being so long-winded. I am really stuck on this side. If I could find out about R.B.G. and his full name, it would go a long way! I hope someone has some connections! Crossing my fingers. Thanks- Melissa Harper Lapham Montana
