For any of you researching HARPER in Winn Parish, LA Several years ago, a cousin of mine (now deceased) told me that my gr gr grandmother, Martha Jane BASS was a HARPER before her marr to Franklin BASS. Martha Jane is buried in the "old" cemetery close to Beech Creek Baptist Church. According to her tombstone, she was born in 1825, but two census records give her birth year around 1833. Does anyone out there have a spare Martha Jane HARPER that may fit this description? Thanks for any input!
