(Bob Laws Feb 99). We have an Alice Harper but we don't know who she married. She was the daughter of Benjamin Harper sr. and Mary Pendel from Feltwell, England. Benjamin Harper jr. married Ann Laws and homesteaded near Wells in Faribault County, MN; his brother William Wesley Harper married Carrie Laws. We believe Ann and Carrie had a brother Major Laws and that their parents were Mager Laws and Ann Hensby. Other children of Benjamin Harper sr. and Mary Pendel were Joseph, John, Henry, Sarah, Martha and Mary.
