Hi all..... I've been going over the archives for the Harper List and have found so many Harper's that started in PA then moved on to the other states. Mine came from PA early in the 1800's, then to Delaware, Champaign and Clark Co's, OH. From there to Lee Co, IA and DeWitt County, IL. Another split took some to Nebraska and some to Crawford Co, KS. I'm wondering if these were nornal settler routes, or maybe families following after families. Any ideas? Kaylynn [email protected]

Hi, I was going thru my many genealogy piles and found this: FYI >From Brinkerhoff's History of Marion County, IL "Shortly after the War of the Revolution...Mr. Tully and his wife...emigrated to Virginia and settled just a few miles west of what is now called Harper's Ferry...." The story goes on to tell of his (Tullys) murder at Harper's Ferry .. "The murderers were the notorious Harpe brothers known throughout the West as Big Harpe and Little Harpe.... from that time the ferry was called Harper's Ferry." The Tully line is my family line.
