Do you have a listing for Jeremiah Vardeman Harper born 10-15-1811 in Kentucky. He has to fit in some where. Indiana census records say he was born in Ky. He was a wagon maker by trade. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laura Hurst" <wodiandhubby@yahoo.com> To: <HARPER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 11:26 PM Subject: [HARPER] Harper's from Holland to Kentucky to Texas and more..... > Nancy, > > This information was shared freely and generously with me, and I would like to share the same with any Harper's researching this family. This family starts in Amsterdam, Holland and goes to Kentucky and on to TEXAS and many more states. I have created a web site to try and collect some of this material. > http://www.geocities.com/wodiandhubby/Harper1705.html > > Jacob HARPER was born in Amsterdam, Holland in 1726. And on 16 OCT 1765 he was Naturialized in Augusta Co.. VA. I would check that one though, because this time line has it placed in the wrong area (the date ). Went thru my papers that Sara Harper sent me and found that cousin Doug Harper has so many "hand written" letters, photo's of old news papers regarding this HARPER family, the horse LONGFELLOW, the OLD CHURCH that sat on the Harper land and Jacob's son George Harper b. 1756. Jacob and Mary had several children. These are the ones that Doug Harper has documented: > Children of Mary and Jacob Harper: > > Nicholas Harper m. Elizabeth > Jacob Harper > George Harper b. 21 SEPT 1756 m. Mary Elliott (Baxter) b. 27 FEB 1764 > Adam Harper b. 1760 > John Harper b. 1763 > William Harper b. 1767 > Barbara Harper b. 1770 m. James Chrisman > Henry Harper b. 1775 > Mary Ann Harper b. abt. 1778 m. William F. Dunnica > Elizabeth Harper b. 1781 m. Harvey Sterling > > Doug Harper shows the dates and amounts of the land being sold off to the children of Jacob and Mary Conrad. He even has copies of micro film showing marriages, etc. O'Dale Harper has shared so much on my own grandfather's side and his father (Charles Lee Harper b. 1857). Sara Harper sent me so much info about 4 years ago, and I still haven't been able to ansorb it all. She sent info from herself, Doug and O'Dale. > > Thanks, > > Laura > > PS...And thank you EVERYONE for your help in finding 3 more very close HARPER families for us.

Leveda, I don't see anything on your Jeremiah V. Harper yet. But I will keep an eyes out for him. A wagon maker should stand out in the library or somewhere, since you even know that he was born in KY.
