Doris, Benjamin Harper had five sons, John, Thomas, George H. ,Levi, & Benjamin. In 1826 Thomas moved to Marion County Ohio along with Simeon Hiett. They bought land next to each other on the same day. In 1829 Simeon died and for some reason his widow had to do a quik claim on his land in which all five Harper brothers had to sign. Thomas signed in Marion Co. OH, John signed in Muskingum Co. OH, George, Benjamin & Levi signed in Frederick County Virginia. So you can see that John Harper was in Muskingum Co. for a while before he moved. Still aren't sure exactly what relation Simeon Hiett was. Which Harper are you related to? I am related to Thomas.
