HARPER The Harpers, who were Scotch Irish, came to this country from the north of Ireland in the latter part of the seventeenth or the beginning of the eighteenth century. Of the three brothers who were emigrants, one went South, as tradition says, and settled in the Carolinas, from whom are descended the Harpers of that section. It is supposed that Gen. Goodloe Harper of Baltimore and Chancellor Harper of S.C. were descendants of this branch. Another brother settled in N.Y., from whom the Harpers of that state and Penn. are supposed to have descended. The third brother, as appears from an old family record, was a weaver by trade and settled in Newbury, Mass. He was the ancestor of the Harpers of N.E. John A. Harper of Meredith, who was a member of Congress in 1812, was of this branch in the fourth generation. His father, William Harper, was a magistrate for some thirty years and represented Sanbornton in the legislature for a number of sessions. 1.

They moved to Sanbornton. At the time of Burgoyne's invasion, Mr. Harper left his wife and children and joined Gen. Stark's command. He was in the Battle of Bennington and served through the campaign. Soon after the close of the Revolutionary War he removed to Brentwood, where he resided until March, 1787, when he settled in Limerick, Me. Here he resided until his death in 1834, at the age of 87. His wife d. six years later at the age of 93. Their farm is still in the possession of the family. Children: i. SUSAN(2), b. Sanbornton, 1774; m. Joseph Hodgdon 1795; one child. ii. BETSEY, b.

Baptist Church, remaining many years in the town. He represented C. in the legislature two terms. Later he chose a home in Newton where he spent the remainder of his life. The first Harriman in this country was Leonard of Rowley, Mass., who in 1639 with Rev. Ezekiel Rogers and twenty other families fled from ecclesiastical oppression in Yorkshire County, Eng., and came to N.E. He was then a very young man. Settling in Rowley, he was admitted freeman in 1647. He and his wife, Margaret, had three sons and three daus., John, the eldest son, b. in 1650, was sacrificed in King Philip's war. Two sons remained, Matthew and Jonathan, the one b. in 1652, the other in 1857. Matthew, at the age of 21, settled in Haverhill, Mass. The same year he m. Elizabeth Swan of that town. Their home was on Fishery River, a place now in the compact part of the city. They had a large family. Leonard Harriman, in his will in 1691, says, "To my oldest son, Matthew Harriman, I give and bequeath all my lands and meadows in ye bounds of Haverhill," and "to his son Matthew—my grandchild, I give my arms & ammunition." He gave Jonathan, his youngest son, his real estate in Rowley. The first Matthew Harriman had six sons and six daus. The first child, Matthew, Jr., m. in 1700, Martha Page; they had six sons and three daus. The eldest son, Joseph, m. in 1723, Lydia Eaton, and had Abigail, Reuben and Joseph. This last Joseph had two sons, David and Aseph. David had four sons, Joseph, Israel, John and David, the two last the somewhat noted Evangelists.
