GA To: [email protected] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 3.0 16-bit for Windows sub 38 Do these records ring a bell for any Harper researcher? A Banister Harper appeared in Elbert Co. GA where many of the descendants and siblings of Henry Harper of Albemarle went. Henry's father was Castleton. Does anyone know if the middle initial of Castleton B. of Elbert Co. GA was Banister? These records are of interest to me because I am trying to determine the parentage of David Nimmo of Albemarle County, Virginia. David had a son Hiram who married Mary Taliaferro Harper the daughter of Henry Harper and Martha Gaines [daughter of Hiram Gaines and Margaret Taliaferro] who migrated to Elbert County, GA first and then across the river to Abbeville district S. C. Henry was the son of Castleton Harper of Albemarle County, Virginia. When Castleton was appointed sheriff of the newly formed Albemarle County, a William Harper was his surety. No other mention is made of a William Harper in Albemarle County. There was a William Harper who patented land in Norfolk County 28 August 1746 that was surveyed by James Nimmo. Of recent interest is the discovery of the name Banister Harper in the records of Princess Anne County, Virginia. The name Banister was found in Elbert County, Georgia where Henry Harper migrated. Robert Harper is identified as the progenitor of this clan in Princess Anne County. I have not as yet viewed any of the original records and Ms. Walter abstracted only records that were of interest to her. The law suits should be viewed in their original form as the division of slaves could be helpful in connecting the Banister Harpers together.

Your orator & oratrix William Thorowgood & Jacamine his wife, infants by William Keeling, Gent. Their guardian and Margaret Harper, an infant by John Hunter her guardian, shew that John Harper ( father of the said Jacamine & Margaret) her guardian, shew that John Harper (father of the said Jacamine & Margaret) died intestate in the year 175? Leaving his widow who is since dead, and James Harper his only son & heir at law who is now of full age. The said John Harper decd left six slaves. To wit, Phillis, Sabinah, Silla, Betty, Jeany and Sue. Phillis hath since borne one child named Abby. Sabinah hath borne on child named Lam. Jeany hath borne five children, Kate, Sue, Bitha, Bob and Will. Sue hath borne two children named Jeany & Peter. The total is now fifteen slaves. On the death of the said John Harper the whole of the aforesaid six slaves descended to James Harper as heir at law, but the complainants say that he is accountable to his sisters for a proportionable part of the appraised value of the said six slaves, or must equally divide the said six slaves with their increase being equally divided, as in equity he thinks they ought to be, notwithstanding the law gives the whole of the increase, since the decease of his said father John to this respondent, as he had been informed, yet he apprehends that it is but justice that they the said slaves and their now increase should be equally divided amongst the complaints his sisters and the defendant, as he thinks he is much abler to work for a living than they are. p. 89 Feb. 1777.
