Surnames: Harper Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QUB.2ACE/1045 Message Board Post: I live in Edgecombe County and was a Harper before marriage. Go to www.familysearch.org to get information on Jesse Harper, Sr. and Jesse Harper, Jr. It tells who the children were. On a Mormon film, there is a Clarence Tyndall who is a submitter and relative. I am writing those submitters now. Callie Harper b. 1700 of Edgecombe County was submitted by this Clarence Tyndall, a relative. I had an aunt who use to visit Harpers in your area because she was related to them. My grandfather (Frank Harper) had a brother named Jesse Lawrence Harper. My great grandfather was Stephen H. Harper, but we do not know who his father was. I am really concentrating on the Jesse Harpers because I feel it is very likely a connection. Were they English or Scotch-Irish Harpers?
