Hi Everyone, I'm looking for any information on OLIVER PERRY HARPER who was born in 1841 in Illinois and died July 18, 1877 in Cedar Rapids, Neb. The info. that I have is: "It is claimed OLIVER PERRY HARPER made the first entry ever made in Cedar Valley, and who located on the quarter north east of the power plant, now known as Hadley's Island. Mr. Harper, who was drowned a few years later in the Cedar River near his sod house, is known, accordingly as the first postmaster of Cedar Valley.". I searched for 2 years and am now thinking that the Cedar Valley/Cedar River/Cedar Rapids area might be in Iowa??? OLIVER HARPER was married to Pricilla Jane Duncan/Dungan. They had: CHARLES D. HARPER - b. 1865, Cedar Rapids, Iowa MARY C. HARPER - b. 1867, Council Bluffs, Iowa ARTHUR L. HARPER - b. 1869, Fremont, Nebraska ISAAC F. HARPER - b. 1871, Cedar Rapids, Iowa FLORENCE A. HARPER - b. 1873, Cedar Rapids, Iowa EDITH E. HARPER - b. 1875, Cedar Rapids, Iowa OLIVER P. HARPER, JR. - b. 1877 Does this sound familiar to anyone??? Thanks for ANY help you might be able to give me on this. Jan James [email protected]

Hi listmates! I'm new to this list and don't know if a whole lot isn't being posted right now, or if I'm missing posts. But, I thought I would post what I have and hope that someone else is researching the same family and has more information. My grandfather, Thomas HARPER, left Wales, date unknown, but after a "row" with his father, which, I have learned from newly discovered relatives in Wales, is still talked about! At least I now know where my father's temper, and, (ahem..) mine comes from. I traced his birth to Monmouthshire, Wales through the FHC records, and discovered there were 16 children born to my great grandparents. As far as I can tell, only two of them left Wales--Thomas and Godfrey. I have been able to trace Godfrey's family to British Columbia, Canada, and now have lots of information on his descendants. So, here we go: Thomas HARPUR. m Elisabeth (last name unknown) Children of Thomas HARPUR and Elisabeth are: i. Samuel HARPER. ii. Thomas HARPER, b. 1779, bap. January 1, 1780, Rushbury, Herefordshire iii. Sam HARPER, d. March 1782; bap.

He married Elizabeth MORGAN November 23, 1862 in St. Paul's Church, Newport, Monmouth, Wales, daughter of George MORGAN and Elizabeth MORGAN. (1881 Census Index for Monmouthshire County, Wales, for Thomas Harper, shows him as a farmer, age 48; wife Elizabeth, age 38, and with the following children: Matilda (18), Mary Jane (14), Agnes Elizabeth (12), Thomas (10), Morgan William (8), Louisa Ann (6) , and Samuel George (2).) The death certificate for Thomas Harper lists the cause of death as pneumonia; and the person who provided the information was F. Price, son-in-law (Francis F. Price, husband of Mary Jane).

I am trying to find info on Ann HARPER b. 1763 possibly PA m. to Roderick FRAZIER. I am looking for her parents and siblings. Roderick fought with Cornwallis (Yeah, he was on the other side), after the war, he first went to Carlisle, PA and then to Crawford Co., PA. I do not know where they were married. There were several children from this marriage and I am willing to share. Sandy Schroeder [email protected]

I'm new to this list and would like to give you the Harper names I'm working on. James A. Harper was born in 1837 in Ross Co., Ohio, and (according to his pension application after the Civil War) was a son of Peter Harper. James was married in 1859 in Fulton Co., Illinois, to Mary Ellen Ball. It seems they moved to Harrison Co., Missouri, in the 1870's and perhaps back to Fulton Co. for a while came back to Missouri. James died in harrison Co. in 1916. The only info I have on James' siblings are the names John and Tom as possible brothers. Could sure use some help on James' parents and siblings. Will be glad to share what I have on James' descendants. Mary Hart

Can someone tell me who the Hardin Creek Harpers are -- in general? Where that Hardin Creek is? I believe P. H. Cook wrote a book about them. Have heard of them in peoples' letters over the years, but have never met via e-mail anyone descended from them.

I thought I would share this with all of you have not checked out the BLM for awhile. "In November, 1998 the GLO automation process will be expanded to include "serial" patent records issued after June 30, 1908. This expanded effort will also include records for the western states. Over 1.24 million "serial" patents will be added to the web site during the next three years." http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/

Ken, I have a John T. HARPER, very possibly born in Macon, GA, in my family tree. All the information I have on him is from one of my father's cousins. This cousin does not subscribe to the HARPER mailing list so I have privately forwarded your request to him in hopes of a connection. The John T. HARPER I have in my family tree: parents Elijah David (1950-1950) and Frances (BRYANT) (abt 1853-1922?) HARPER. They had eight (?) children: Lola, John T., Leonard, Sarah, Margaret, William Washington (my great grandfather), Leonard A. and Alathea. ALL I know of John T. HARPER: born in 1876, was married (?) (wife's name unknown) and had two children: Walter (who married a Josie) and Adelle (who died 13 April 1910). I know more on my gg-grandparents, Elijah David HARPER, his wife, his other children and their children thorugh current times. Let me know if you would like more information on the rest of the family to determine if there is a connection.

> I noticed that posting regarding Thomas Harper, Jr. in Rowan Co., NC. I >would love to know about the Harpers that lived in NC. I have a James HARPER b 6 May 1762 Halifax Co., Va m Agnis BURCHFIELD 1764/66 Halifax Co., Va with his father as James HARPER. I'm thinking perhaps they moved to Rowan Co., NC and then on up to Russell Co., Va (that the corner of Va, Ky and WV) because I'm finding that was a trail of other's moving into that area at that time. Surnames from other lines were STEVENS and HAMON's of my descendancy. Any help, ideas or suggestions to help connect these Harpers, sure would appreciate. Iris
