| For those of you related to a large percentage of Henry County ... did
| anyone named Harper ever sneak into your families?
|
| Thomas HARPER a physician b Mar 2 1819 IN
| +Harriet PAXTON b abt 1816 VA
|
| I think Thomas and Harriet are my g g grandparents.
| It looks like they had 10 children, some of whom died very young. They
were:
| Sarah J.; Thomas; Tabitha; Nancy; Margaret H.; Harriet; George W.;
John;
| Martha P.; Mary L.
|
| Census records from 1850 and 1860 show him in Greensboro township,
Henry
Co.
|
| I think his parents are
|
| Thomas Harper b 1785 PA
| +Jane Stewart b 1783 PA
|
| George W. Harper, also a physician, is my g grandfather. He died in
Sedgwick
| County, KS. Or so I think.
