    1. [NEBRRoots-L] Oliver Perry Harper/Pricilla Jane Duncan
    2. Lynn & Jan James
    3. Greetings, I'm trying to find any information I can on an Oliver Perry Harper and his wife Pricilla Jane Duncan/Dungan. I have a piece of paper that says Oliver Harper died July 18, 1877 in Cedar Rapids, Boone County, NB. Also: "It is claimed Oliver Perry Harper made the first entry ever made in Cedar Valley and who located on the quarter north east of the power plant, now known as Hadley's Island. Mr. Harper, who was drowned a few years later in the Cedar River near his sod house, is known, accordingly, as the first postmaster of Cedar Valley". I have just received an 1870 Census from Saunders County, NB that shows he and his wife, Prisilla, were living there. What to do????? I also have found information that after Oliver Perry Harper died Pricilla Jane Harper married a George Washington Buker on November 24, 1879 in Cedar Rapids, Boone Co., NB. (He was the son of S.P. Buker and Evaline Allan?) They had a son George Washington Buker, Jr. b. May 24, 1880. Of course now that I also have the county as Saunders, I have no idea where to look. Does any of this sounds familiar to anyone??? Any help would be more than appreciated. Sincerely, Jan James ljjames@inreach.com
