    1. Re: Henry & Edward Harper of GA
    2. There was a Henry Harper and a Casleton Harper who were brothers. Henry went to Amhurst County, Virginia. Casleton remained in Albemarle County. He had a son Henry who married Martha Gaines and went to Elbert Co. GA and then to Abbleville District S. C.. The Henry who married Judith Landrum was the brother of Casleton not the son. When you analyse all of the Harper data it appears that the harper brothers both patented land in what became Albemalre County [Goochland in the patent but located in present day Albemarle. Castleton Harper, 254 acs. Goochland Co. on the upper side of Epps's Cr., at the Mouth of Beaverdam Sw., adj. James Lee & Epps; 1 Mar 1743/44. p. 33. �1.S5. p. 332 Castleton Harper, 324 acs. Albemarle Co. on both sides the North Fork of Hardware Riv., on a Ridge & the Brow of a Hill; adj. His old Lines & Thomas Sowel: 12 May 1759, p. 215. �1.S15. The two Henry Harper's are often confused as are the various Casletons.
