I am searching any HARPER connections who settled in NC & VA. So far, I have quite a collection on the following (and others): 1. MY OWN GREAT GRANDPA whose ancestry we have been unable to prove: STEPHEN H. HARPER (1823/23-1891) m. (1) 1846 NANCY HAINEY, Edgecombe County, NC; (2) 1878 Mahala Morgan. Believe he had a sister, Martha who married 1852 LITTLETON PENDER in Edgecombe County, NC & he may have been a son of JOHN HARPER. 2. SAMUEL C. HARPER (1853-1928) married Mary C (?)(1861-1918); lived & died in Charlotte County, VA 3. SAMUEL T (?) HARPER (1826-1910) who married (1) Temperance and (2) Martha Gay (I have confusing information on this Samuel Harper.) POSTSCRIPT: the List messages become very long & messages are duplicated when members post "reply". Would it help if replies are used only when they related directly back to the messages, or post a new reply?
