Hello. I am researching HARPER and trying to tie the name in with the Cherokee. Has anyone ever heard of a HARPER who was a trader/trapper and was involved with the Cherokee Indians ? The time period I am looking at was around 1800. There is a possibility this HARPER was white or part Cherokee. Thanks for your time. Janis Foley [email protected] P.S. Has anyone ever seen a HARPER-DOWNING connection ??
