General Notes: Husband - Samuel Harper

---

He resided in York County, Pennsylvania, for eighteen years after his marriage, then removed with his wife and eight children to western Pennsylvania, settling in Hanover township, Washington County, in 1798. He purchased Judge Redick's mill on Big Travis Creek, Hanover township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. After his removal from Washington, York County, Pennsylvania, he and his wife and children united with the Associate Presbyterian Church of Kings Creek, then under the pastoral care of Rev. John Anderson, D.D., and Mr. Harper was shortly afterwards elected a ruling elder, an office he filled until his death. This was caused by "camp fever."

She died of the same disease as her husband, "Camp Fever," eleven days after his decease, and was buried in the same grave, their tombstone being inscribed "They were lovely in their lives, and in death they were not divided."
