Re: working on the Harper line from VA to ALA/MS w/ supplements from FTM With what I know, my line begins in Virginia and the ancestor that I am trying to connect with is Jesse Harm Harper, born either in VA or NC. He was married in Wilkes Co, NC in 1832 to Betsy/Elizabeth Minton. They migrated to North GA by the 1840/50's. He was in Union Co. in 1850, then settled in Gilmer Co. He had a large # of children. He was killed by the Homeguards in Fannin Co., GA. I can supply his line on down, but would also like to make my plea for any help in finding out who his parents were. THANKS....Angela (Pierce) Groenhout
