James and Mary HARPER (General)

I have just discovered this site & came across your posting re. James & Mary Harper. I wonder if there is any connection with the family I am researching, also Harper from Newland.

My James Harper married Elizabeth Moon at Newland in 1843. Their children were Henry Paglar and Maria. Henry emigrated to USA, probably 1870.

It is from Henry's letters to his mother that I am finding information. He mentions 'Scatterford' & on 1841 census I have found James living with his mother Hannah at Scatterford, Newland. Presumably it was a farm as his occupation is farmer.

I believe James' father was John Harper.

Maybe there is a connection between these two families.
