Harper's Little Family

Harper's Little Family

This is the Alexander and Mary Frances (Jones) Harper family.

Maxine Landfried submitted this picture and provides this history:

My mother-in-law, Ersil Bailey Landfried (1911-1987 - See Story in Roane County 1989 book), was a niece of Mary Frances and after she (Ersil) died we found this picture with the words on the back "Harper's little family".  Of course, I soon found them in the family tree and census records.  It seems all ten children are lined up in birth order.  I believe several of the sons became doctors and were influential in Roane County.

October 25, 2012 meeting. Mike Hill presents interesting & well-planned presentation about  “family genealogy.”  His purpose was to motivate and get members interested in discussing their ancestors and family surnames at the different society meetings as part of the society’s regular programming.  He is looking to do something, structurally, that will enhance today’s technology-based family research.  He distributed the Bonnett/Meadows Pedigree Chart (his wife’s ancestors) which generated discussion about others who are researching or have ancestors of the same families.
