| Notes |
- BLANEY3 HARPER JR. (Blaney2, Francis1) was born in 1795 in Greene County, North Carolina; Sherrod Tyson Family Bible. He married Martha Sugg, daughter of John Sugg II and Martha (Patsy) Aldridge. He died on 12 February 1825 in Greene County, North Carolina; Ibid.; Jr. Will Blaney Harper, written 11 September 1824, probated February Term 1825, Greene Co, NC. The Sherrod Tyson Bible gives his birth year as ca 1800. He died in 1825 in the 25th year of age. We think his age in the Bible was wrong. In 1813 his father gave him land for love and affection plus five pounds. It is reasonble to assume he was of age at the time or close it. We could also be missing a generation. #23 - 11 May 1813 - Blany Harper to son Blany Jr, love, good will and natural affection and 5 pds ___ acres on the SS Great Contentnea Creek containing a part of the plantation where the sd Blaney Harper Sr now lives adj Great Contentnea Creek, Delany Harper, the main or county road, the Tar Kiln Bed (the same mentioned in the last will and testament of Francis Harper, dec), the woods path, the long branch, a stake opposite the head of Deep Bottom, a pine in the bank of the creek formerly called Alexander Harper's corner only the liberty or liberties which the sd Blany Harper or his wife Elizabeth Harper shall or may think proper or see fit to take during their natural lives for their own or their family's use.
