Below is a list of the Harpers I'm researching. Sara Dunn Harper is my G-G-grandmother. I have letters to/from these Harpers showing them about ten miles from Tollsboro, Lewis County, in what they called "Bertram's Corner" in 1874. Since Bertram is an in-law name, it may have been just a family name. I have another letter that indicates they were in KY (not sure where) in Feb. 1861. You can read the letters at http://www.tiac.net/users/lyon/ell.htm.
