Recently my Mother told me that there had been talk in the family that her Harpers often spoke of Harpers Ferry. A possibility my Harpers are from that area is high. I've been able to go back to a Benjamin Harper thus far, but he's been a brick wall since I started my research. http://www.angelfire.com/realm/survivors/Harper.wpd is my Harper family tree thus far. Any assistance helpful! Liane Elliiot ===== Until all are one, we shall remember - The Survivors! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
