This appears to be a list of Alexander Harper's children - thanks to Roger. I have had this information for years but it never fit until the records of Elizabeth Harper Johnson were found. One of their siblings, probably William, must have died. Elizabeth Harper who married Elijah Johnston, Robert Harper, William, and Francis are all proven children of Alexander. Only Elizabeth and Robert are proven to be children of Margaret but for the time being we will have to assume Alexander only had one wife and she was Margaret Kilpatrick. My hunch was Margaret Spivey wife of Ephram was also a daughter and the Spivey researchers thought the same thing. Julia had speculated that John and Hugh were children. Tart should be Hart. Forkland I think is Foreman or something like that. Somewhere in some note I have something on them but can't remember where. William did not appear to have any children. He was not on the 1820 Greene Census but probably was on the 1816 Tax list - there were two of them on that list. Julia said John's will mentioned a slave from the estate of William - she is suppose to be sending me a copy of the will. I don't have all of John and Ann Ormond Harper's children on the database. My hunch is William's widow, Sarah, was suing for a widow's dowry. The only children of Alexander who appears to be dead is Margaret Spivey. J. was probably John NC STAR - Sept 24 1819 - from records of Roger - Greene County Aug 1819 - Sarah Harper vs Francis Harper, J. Harper, Hugh Harper, Alex Harper, Blaine Harper, Robert Harper, Caleb Spivey, James Spivey, Alexander Spivey, Jesse Tart and wife Polly, Ephraim Spivey, Elizabeth Spivey, Elijah Johnson and wife Elizabeth, John Forkand and wife Susannah - last two couples from out of state Now there are two more BIG problems to figure out. Who was Francis Sr and what was the relationship between Francis I and Alexander - was Alexander the son or were they brothers. It appears there were TWO Blaney's a few years apart in age. That would indicate that Francis SR and Alexander were brothers. It would also explain the confusion of Elizabeth McLlwean and Elizabeth Edwards. Ruth is working on that for us. Martha
