.... and, do ya'll know, there is a "John Harper" listed on the "Second Virginia Charter" entitled to the "first collonie" by King James of England? Check-out the full text of the charter at this site: http://www.virginiagenealogy.com/page102.html The third charter, in 1612, shows a "Richard Harper". I didn't record the URL, but there is probably a link from the site above. ...an interesting footnote to this material I thought you would enjoy. Annette Researching: HARPER, GREEN(E), LANE; SPEED, TARVER, LENNARD/LEONARD (Nat. Amer.); KROUSE, BESTEDA, AUSTIN, PATRICK; MCLANE/MCLEAN...all found in AL counties.
