I'm trying to find a parcel of land and the name of a female Harper living in
Franklin county in 1823 on an 80 acre "plantation" owned by Samuel Harper.
Samuel died in Hamilton county ohio in 1823. He left this land to his two youngest
brothers, Nathan and David.( He had two other brothers, William and James. James, I
presume ,lived in Hamilton County Ohio). I do not know the father's name. If David and
Nathan didn't ' share and share alike' the land was to go to another brother
Wiliam Harper. I have no other information regarding this property. no township or range
or date of purchase. Perhaps it was owned by another Harper and left to Samuel. I also
have no date of death for Samuel's mother.Since her daughter Nancy was in her
3o's in 1823 ( i have no idea of Samuel's age at death) I'm guessing this
female harper was at least 65 . Would appreciate any and all help. Thank you.
