I have been researching the Harper family in the early days of Davidson County (Nashville), Tennessee. I decided to share early Harper marriages in hopes that it might also help with someone else’s research. I am piecing together how these individuals are related. If you know anything about those listed here, I’d love for you to share your info with me. You can contact me at downhomegenealogy@gmail.com.
