Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Harper (and variant spellings) families who came mainly from Germany. Some focus is on (but not limited to) descendants of the pioneers Philip and Jacob Herber, the sons of Johann Adam Herper and Eva Catharina Faller. Philip Herber (1713- 1798) was born in Kerchberg, Germany. He married Anna Elizabeth Theyss (Deiss) Koblenz in 1746. In 1750, they sailed to America on the ship "Patience" with Philip's brother, Jacob and other family members. They settled Tylpehocken Valley, Pennsylvania. Their surname was Anglicized to Harper. Between 1753 and 1758, some Harpers moved to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, and established families in Augusta County, which was later known as Pendleton County. Pendleton County became a part of West Virginia in 1863. Other immigrant ancestors featured are: Adam Herber, Nicheol Herber, Jacob Herber, and Maria Margarete Herber. Some of these families intermarried with descendants of Anna and Philip's sons: Nicholas, Philip Jr., and Jacob. Many remained in Randolph and Pendleton Counties of West Virginia. Others moved to California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, Washington, and elsewhere.
Includes Herber, Herper, and other variant spellings.
Also includes Bishop, Conrad, Deiss (Theyss), Faller, Harmon, Hedrick, Hinkle, Kimberlin, Koblaiz, McDonald, Shortle, Simmons, Teter, Woods, and other related families.
