Nathan Harper of Lenoir who went to Ky had a son, Blaney. THat is an unusual name and to find it in both families indicates a connection. We think that Francis I and Alexander who first appear in Craven/Greene were brothers and more than possible that John who first appears on the Trent two years later could have also been a brother. Any idea who the father of Nathan was? Would he have been a son or grandson of old John? Martha
