General Notes: Husband - Thomas Harper, Sr.

---

He came of Irish ancestry. He was a scout in General Wayne's army during the campaign against the Western Confederacy of Indian tribes. About 1793 he married a lady who lived in Virginia, and settled on the site of Wheeling, whence he removed to a farm on New creek, in what became Jefferson County, Ohio. Three sons and four daughters were born to him of this union.
