Hi Roy. I have an Elizabeth Fair, but not connected to the Raper. Mine is married to Stephen Willard Cotter. I have her born January 7, 1814 in Augusta Ga. with her death on February 3, 1903, in Linn County MO. Stephenis the link to Cherokee County NC. If you want some more info, let me know. And if anyone has any info on the Cotter's, please let me know.
