I am researching descendants of William HARPER of Cambridge, ENG who settled in Wagga Wagga, New south Wales, Australia. I haven't been able to establish his true parents yet. I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who has HARPER lines in Australia. There is one HARPER line from Uriah & Rebecca HARPER that may be related. Uriah's family spent a number of years in Goulburn, New South Wales. If you have any connections in Australia with HARPERs please let me know. Following are my interests.

I am looking for Susan Jane Harper Davis. She was born Susan Jane Harper, on 13 May 1846, possibly in Ohio. She married Thomas J. Davis on 19 November 1868. they had about six children. Susan lived her childhood possibly in Ohio. She married in Champaign County, Illinois. She moved to Wood County, OH in the late 1800's, and died there in 1929. She was buried in Champaign County, IL at Mt. Hope Cemetery. She died in Wood County, Ohio. Seems every time I pull a vital record on Susan, no one knew who her parents were, and it's been a real chalenge to find out who that might be. If you think you can help, I wil be more than grateful for your assistance. Thanks! Lori

I APPRECIATE YOUR INTEREST I HAVE VJUST GOTTEN MY WEB PAGE AND DONT KNOW HOW TO ADVERTIZE IT MY NAME IS W.R. HARPER PHONE 729-4081 IN MISS. I DO HAVE A LOT OF NAMES IN MY FAMILY THAT I HAVE ACCUMULATED

Craig - This is fantastic! Now we can REALLY share! I hope everyone will contribute in any way they can. Could I make a suggestion? Would it be possible to create one webpage with all these links off of it? I'll never be able to keep up with all these different URLs. It's been a while since I posted. Is anyone researching William Mark Harper b ca 1742/43, lived 1780's Culpeper Co, VA, d 1833 Adams Co, OH; Summers Harper b ca 1780 VA, d aft 1850 Sumner Co, TN; Zacheus Harper b 1785 VA, lived Adams Co, OH, Macoupin Co, IL, Greene Co, IL, d 1857 Polk Co, MO; Nancy Ann Harper b 1782 VA/MD, m William Marsh 1806 Adams Co, OH, d 1850 Adams Co, OH; Anna Harper m 1811 Barnett King in Adams Co, OH; George Harper b ca 1762, d 1825 Adams Co, OH; Rev William Mark Harper b ca 1771 MD, m 1793 Culpeper Co, VA Anna Putman, lived KY, OH, Schuyler Co, IL, d 1859 Brown Co, IL. The earliest William Mark Harper b ca 1742/43 may have lived in Frederick Co, VA shortly after leaving Culpeper Co, VA in 1789. It appears that he also might have lived somewhere in MD in the early 1770's. He left no will - no estate papers - nothing to prove his children, but the others are linked as probable children by a tremendous amount of circumstantial evidence. However, there may be some siblings we have not discovered. Would be interested in sharing findings with anyone researching Harpers in any of the localities mentioned. Cookie

Hello. I am new to this list so thought I would post a query. I am researching my husband's great great great grandparents. Anna HARPER married Archibald CONLEY around 1820. They had at least 10 children. Anna was rumored to be one-half Cherokee Indian. They lived in Hickman County, TN. in the early 1820's. They moved to Illinois around 1845. They lived in Jefferson County and Jersey County, IL. Anna presumably died by 1870. We don't know where she died and is buried. I know this sketchy information but it is all I have. Thanks for reading this and for any ideas as to how to proceed. Janis Foley

Sorry list. I didn't mean to broadcast that spam to the list!! I apologize Dan

A SPAM is junk mail of the electronic variety. Someone who's selling something gets ahold of a large mailing list, one whose recipients may or may not be interested in the product being sold, and blast it out there. It's a terrible waste of resources (computer space, personal time, etc) for everyone involved. But those that perpetrate must gain something from it, because it's very common...

Two things: First, thanks to all of those who answered my question about "spam". Second, in an earlier message, I mentioned that I have volunteered to transcribe census data to be posted on-line at a later time. This gave rise to several personal replys, with questions that I am not fully able to answer. To clarify... o I am relatively new at this... I don't have a web site or anything... and I've never done this work before. I happened to "volunteer" by contacting the individual who has transcribed and posted a number of census records (several states) of slave/"colored" census. I have particular interest in Macon Co., AL and there are few records available on-line for the county, so I thought I would try and get something started. There is a web site for this data: <A HREF="http://www.prairiebluff.com/aacensus/">African-American Census Schedules Online</A> o I do not know the process for converting the transcribed material. The data, I believe, were obtained from the state archives, copied from microfilm, probably for a fee. As a volunteer, I am merely typing up the photocopies in a straight wordprocessing program. I will then forward the data to my contact, who will do the actual conversion for the on-line posting. o For those of you interested in volunteering for transcription work, I recommend that you start with US GenWeb, which invites volunteers to do census and other transcriptions. Instrucations are provided at their web site: <A HREF="http://www.usgenweb.org/projects/projects.html">The USGenWeb Project - Special Projects</A> ...or contact the individual state coordinator through GenWeb, who may be able to provide you with a specific individual to work with, if you've got your hands on a particular census record. o There are various other web sites, where individuals or organizations have tried to make census data more widely available...some are more complete than others. Here are a couple. You can try contacting the home page/site manager to see if they are interested in your assistance. <A HREF="http://www.colorado.edu/libraries/govpubs/debbie/cover.htm">Census Schedules</A> <A HREF="http://www.prairiebluff.com/aacensus/">African-American Census Schedules Online</A> Good luck and thanks for your participation.

There were 4 Harpers who were Cherokee that were listed in Starr's Cherokee genealogy of Old Cherokee families. The index is located at http://members.aol/com/rarebk Once at the site, go to BOOKLISTS, and then scroll down til you see the Starr book listed, and invoke from there. Also at the site is the 1835 Cherokee census, a Cherokee genealogy 'how-to'tutorial, and many other sources, to include rare and old books dealing with history and genealogy.

I've been trying to find some genealogy information on my Harper line .. but haven't had much luck. My grandparents are still living, but they can only give me vague information back to my great-great-grandfather. I'm hoping someone can provide some tiny fragment that will allow me to get past my brick wall. My grandfather's name is Clayton Richard Harper (married to Esther Kathryn Fuller). He was born in Stonewall, Oklahoma on Sep 24, 1911. He has five brothers and one sister (Clarice - born about 1903, Joseph Henyard - born Mar 7, 1905, Minnie Lula born Mar 8, 1907, Morris K. - born Dec 27, 1916, William Macon born Nov 22, 1920, and Franklin Forrest - born Apr 14, 1923). Frank is the only living sibling. My great-grandfather's name was John Frank Harper. He was born in Blooming Grove, TX on July 16, 1877 and died Mar 20, 1936 in Stonewall, Oklahoma. He was married to Minnie Bell Shumard. My great-great-grandfather's name was Joseph Harper. He was born abt 1858 -- but I don't have much information besides that. I know that he married Nancy Fredrick and had 8 children (John Frank, Lula, Carrie, Ada, Martha Ollie, Thomas, Lottie and LeElla). Any help greatly appreciated. Wesley Harper
