Dear group, It has been some time since I posted my information and PLEADED for help. Since I have a new Email address I thought this would be a good time to submit again.

Thanks to Didikins I found out something I didn't know about my Louis Gunn Harper. Apparently he married twice. His first wife was Hannah Rettie Cyphers. Their children is where I'm descended from. Now I'm dying to know when he divorced Hannah and if he had any other children I should be made aware of... here's what didikins sent me: I found a Louis G. Harper in District 23, Robinson Township, Brown County, Kansas. With him is a Hattie E. He is 78 and was born in Ohio. His father was born in Virginis and his mother in Ohio. Hattie or Hettie was 64. She was born in Ohio as were both of her parents. This is roll T626_694, page 3B, ED 23, Image 0970. I found Louis Gunn Harper listed in the Family Trees section of Ancestry. It has him born in Marion County, Ohio on Aug. 4 1851. He is listed as the son of Thomas Harper and Sybbil (unknown). He is listed as married to Harriet (Hattie) Elizabeth Clark on Oct. 23 1913. Louis is reported to have died on Feb. 3 1937 in Robinson, Brown, Kansas. Harriet was born Sept. 2 1865 in Coshocton County, Ohio. Harriet is the daughter of Gabriel Clark (Aug. 15, 1815) and Rebecca Smith English (June 21, 1832) and Louis Harper is listed as her second husband.

Already I have a problem....there are more than three Henry Harpers in Amherst in the 1780 area. My Henry was born 1783 in Amherst to a Mrs. Susannah Harper (Proffitt)....the father has died. Susannah remarries Joseph Welch in 1785, Amherst. They move to Lincoln County, KY where Henry grows up as the Stepson. By 21 he marries Sally Johnson in Lincoln, KY and has a family...one Son, Charles Nelson carries the line eventually to me. I am trying to find the father of Henry Harper. He may have been one John Henry Harper JR. or John Harper Jr. There are no death nor marriage records that we have found yet. In Lincoln County, KY, our Henry associates with a William and Joseph Harper...who appear to be about the same age.....also a Pleasant Harper....you would think there is only one Pleasant Harper, but guess what,,,there are at least two...one is from Castleton's Harpers in VA. I have all the docs for the above....excepting anything on Susannah's first husband and his death. Thank you for any clues or hints you may come up with. John Harper Calsouth1@aol.com

I personally haven't found my ancestors on this site, but maybe you will! http://www.findagrave.com/ The above web address is totally supported by volunteers who go out to cemetaries and document the internments. I know 4.4 million internments sounds like a lot, but we all know there's more of them out there waiting to be recorded! I would strongly encourage that if you have spare time to go out to your local cemetaries and help add to the ever growing list. Before you do though, make sure you don't repeat another researchers work by checking the cemetary for which internments have already been done. Good hunting!

My info tells me the same thing. I don't have my ancester book with me at the moment but Charter is a relative of mine. I'll see what, if any, proof I have that I can provide to you.

Martha & All- My fingers get in much too big of a hurry . . . sorry about the previous post. I am also a member of the Harper Family List <HARPER-L@rootsweb.com> and meant to send my message to that list instead of the Leonard Harper List. The Harper Family List has currently been posting a Roll Call and so I sent out our info once again in hopes that there might be a new researcher with additional family info. I have only two children for Leonard and I would like to add the additional that you have below. Do you have any documentation that you can send to me on the additional children? I had been in touch with a woman a few years ago who felt that our Leonard and her ancestor, James, were brothers but then she couldn't find any documentation on that fact.

Fleming Bates HARPER +11 viii. Sarah Ann HARPER +12 ix. George Jacob M. (Manning) "G.J.M." HARPER Leonard Harper Sr. is the progenitor of the large Harper Family of Irwin and Coffee Counties, Georgia. Leonard was born abt. 1735 in Peas Creek, NC, according to Huxford's Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia. To date Peas Creek has not been located but may well be Pea Creek, SC. (*You must however keep in mind that in 1735 North Carolina was not a state but a colony . Although North Carolina sent delegates to Philadelphia to attend the First continental Congress in 1774, and was the first colony to instruct its delegates to vote for independence, it did not finally became a state until it ratified the Constitution on November 21, 1789. South Carolina became a state on May 23, 1788, upon ratification of the constitution. Thus, due to the fluctuation of boundaries of colonies and states at the time, we may never find just where Peas Creek actually was-there has even been speculation that it could be located in what was formerly Virginia and today North Carolina.) According to Huxford, Leonard Harper Sr. came to Liberty Co., GA (which was later cut into McIntosh Co.), with his son, Leonard Jr., during he Revolutionary War.* In the Surveyor's General Dept. in Atlanta, GA, there are four headgrants issued to Leonard Harper and perhaps his son, Leonard Harper Jr. The claims are: 200 acres - Glynn County - 1798 400 acres - McIntosh County - 1803 200 acres - McIntosh County - 1816 102 acres - McIntosh County - 1819 Upon arriving to survey the ground for one of his headgrants (which you could receive by paying a a filing fee of $5.00) Leonard found a house had been constructed and someone was living in it. The man residing there invited Leonard in, gave him a meal and a bed for the night. The following morning Leonard rose, pulled the title for the headgrant from his pocket, and told the hospitable gentleman that the property now belonged to him. Life on the new frontier was perilous and indians were an everyday part of the lives of Leonard and his family. The Creek Indians made a raid on Leonard's plantation in Liberty Co., in 1788. The indians made away with his horses and hogs and, according to family lore, the house was burned and all of Leonard's tools along with miscellaneous items were taken. Leonard's wife and children hid in the bushes during the raid. Leonard later found the tools and other items buried in his field when he was plowing. Leonard Harper Jr. filed a claim with the Indian Claims Bureau on behalf of himself, and his siblings, as a result of this raid. The claim was paid. (These records can be obtained from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Washington, D.C.) Emily Gray Martin, Gentlemen and Their Ladies - Gray Family History, states that Leonard fought in the Revolutionary War, participating in the battles of Troy and Sumpter. It is said that he had the fastest horse of any, having outrun the British on at least one occasion. With the British in pursuit Leonard approached a wide gully. He and his horse jumped, the British came to the edge and stopped. It is not known who Leonard's wife actually was but it is said that she was Dutch (according to records found in Irwin Co., GA). Emily Gray Martin states that " . . . Leonard Harper Sr. met the boat carrying five females from Holland who came here looking for husbands. It was told Leonard Sr. married one of them (black-Dutch)." *I personally feel that there is a discrepancy in Huxford's work. He states that the son of Leonard Harper Sr., Leonard Harper Jr., was born in 1788 in Liberty Co., GA. However, I believe that there was a third Leonard Harper, b. abt. 1735, and known as Leonard Sr., husband of Elizabeth. Elizabeth applied for administration of his estate on April 12, 1804 (McIntosh Co.). I believe that this is the Leonard Sr. that Huxford was referring to and that he came to McIntosh Co., GA, with his son Leonard during the Revolutionary War. Upon the death of the father the son became Leonard Sr. - this would be the Leonard Sr. who died in McIntosh Co., GA, in 1822 and was probably b. abt. 1750. His son, Leonard Jr., born 1788, died in Irwin Co., GA, in 1845. This opinion is further strengthened by the fact that Leonard reportedly did not bring a wife with him to Georgia but married a Dutch woman after his arrival. *Leonard Harper is listed in the 1794 Tax Polls for Glynn Co., GA A land warrant, for Leonard Harper, dated 11-10-1793, was filed in Liberty County Courthouse, Liberty Co., GA, Bk. 5 E's, p. 119. *Dr. Bullie's Notes, published by Georgia Historical Society, Savannah, GA, states that Leonard Harper had cattle out near Barrington, and Lewis Lake out that way became known as Harper Lake. *McIntosh County Courthouse records show the following: Eli Fitzpatrick found Eliza Fits-patric estate selling to Samuel Rozier land which was bounded SE by Lennard (sp) Harper, NW by Thomas Bassett.

JC, Let's keep in touch. I have the feeling that my Rev Thomas Harper, b NC 5 Oct 1806, may have come from Chatham County. His daughter, Serena Rose Harper, married Rev Joseph Brantley (Duty) Dooty.
