Note, Oct. 2002: My
1st cousin, once removed, Sue Beach, told me Jack's full name and his
mother and father's names. We met online. Without her, I would still
be completely in the dark about my Harper ancestors. Then a couple of
weeks later I met Peggy Brock online and she got me started with the
Butler
side. Peggy would be my half 1st cousin twice removed.(I think) Here

She had her first child very young, lied
about her age to make herself seem older, then... as the years passed,
she subtracted years from
her children's ages... strange. Check the Harper census page
to see how she did this.
Now, I know the reason why. She was only 14 or 15 when she and Butler
got together.

Belle seated front left, Rachel seated front right
Photos taken 1912-14, there is a mistake here, the little girl is
Veda's grand daughter, not daughter
|
We would think she had to be at least
attractive when she was young (she only married men of wealth and
prominance and her children were good looking). For coloring, her
progeny had dark hair and eyes. Therefore, she must have passed them on
to both sides.

------------------------------------------
First Generation
1. Melette Emelia Amansabel Harper , A
full-blood Cherokee[82] 1
was born in 1827 in Mississippi and died after 1918 in near, Tyler
Texas. Other names for Melette were Ancey Bell, Ansebell, Ausabel, and
Belle.
General Notes:
Aunt
Dovie [nee Harper] Treadwell told me that her grandmother was a full
blood
Indian and that she hated all whites, even her grandchildren. Dovie
remarked
that one did not get too close to 'Belle' or chance bruises.
'Belle's' given name was difficult for the grandkid's to say so they
called her one of the 'sounds' from her name.
She
was living with her son Hudson Butler, near Tyler, Texas, when she
died.
Her daughter-in-law wouldn't allow chamber pots in the bedrooms so they
had
to visit the 'privy' at night. They lived in a house with a high porch
and
one night while on her way to the said privy, Bell fell off the porch,
broke
her hip and died shortly thereafter. She was wrapped in a blanket,
placed
in a wagon and driven back to her 'people' for burial. (note, Most
probably Cherokee County, Texas County)
----------------------------------------------------------
Now,
Miss Belle wasn't a very nice person. She was mean to her slaves and
abused
her grandchildren and hated most whites... her age doesn't always
'jibe'
on the censuses... Listings in Censuses , so why should I care? She was
a person and must have had a bad youth to have turned out the way she
did.
Plus, she was my g-g-grandmother, and her g-daughter, my grandmother,
was
the sweetest person alive.

Melette married John D. Butler -[315] [MRIN:55] in
1844-45 in Pontotoc County, Mississippi. John was born in 1818 in SOUTH
CAROLINA and died in 1854-55 in Smith County,

Nation in Texas.

Rachel married Isaacks -[2106] [MRIN:137].
Note from a cousin: Thank you for your wonderful help. I had no idea
that Hudson Butler had another child, but it appears that he did
because of the settlement of his estate. But Rachael Isaac was the only
one of those children that was named in the settlement. She did receive
a settlement and she signed the requested papers.
There was also another name in the settlement that I have been unable
to trace anywhere but the Smith Co. TX named in the settlement. That
name was C.H.Ray. I found him one time in 1880, if indeed it was him,
and that was Marshall, Harrison, TX. Hudson [Butler] married the first
time in SC, they had 2 children, William Hudson Butler, jr and Davidson
Butler. The family history says Davidson died and mother also at birth.
[since John Davidson Butler listed his birth place as SC, Hudson
married the second time in SC also.]

General Notes: And, just when I'd about given up hope of
finding out anything
about g-grandpa 'Jack'.... along comes an e-mail from a cousin:
Hi again,
Andrew
Jackson "Jack" Harper was born Sept. 2, 1857 and Died Feb. 2, 1932. He
was
buried at Montague. I have a picture of both Jack and Mary Ann's
tombstones.
I didn't know either one of them as I was only a couple of
months old when
she died. She was my dad's grandmother and from what I heard about her
she
was a real sweet woman. I have a picture of all her children except for
Ida
Lura and the two that died when they were small. One an infant of a few
hours
old. I think mom said it was a little boy they called him Little Early.
Also
a little girl named Mandy Bell who died when she was just walking. Mom
has
the exact dates for both of them and she is going to bring me her file
she
has on the Whisenhunts when I see her again. If you want them I'll get
them
for you.
Then she had Ida Lura (Harper) Atkins who must have been
your
grandmother. Is this correct? Next she had Clide Mae (Harper) Allen who
was
born May 24, 1895 and died Jan. 4, 1978. She is buried at Montague.
Next
was Clifford Love Harper who was born, my grandmothers Bible says April
26,
1897 but his tomb stone reads April 16, 1897. I guess probably his
tombstone
is correct. He died Nov. 24, 1973 and is buried at the Lakeview
Cemetery
at Marietta, Oklahoma. Next she had Mary Jewell (Harper,
Gillaspy)McClendan
who was born Sept 12, 1903 and she died at the age of 93 on Feb. 22,
1996.
She is buried at the Oswalt Cemetery. Next was my dads' mother and my
grandmother
Pearl Omenda Harper, born Aug. 9, 1905 and died Aug.22, 1993. She had
three
children, two boys and one girl. Her oldest name was William "Buster"
Estelle
Burnett, and then my dad's name was Clifford Love Burnett. Her daughter
was
fathered by her last husband Erwin Reeves and her name is Fonnie
(Reeves)
Walker. Fonnie is the only one still alive. Buster died in 1995 and my
father
passed away Nov. 25, 1998.
The last child was Dovie Gladys (Harper) Treadwell born
Nov. 16, 1907 and she is still living. She lives in Marietta, Ok and is
getting
quite elderly but the last I heard she was still living at home by
herself.
My brother and I went and had a nice visit with her about a year ago.
She
told us some funny stories about her mom and dad. She has three living
children,
two of which live in Marietta I live about 5 miles south of Marietta,
Oklahoma.
All of Aunt Jewell's children live in this area. I didn't know Clides
family
or Ida Lura's family. I've meet some of Aunt Clides family but didn't
ever
really know them. I know all of Aunt Jewells children and Aunt Doves
children.
I know a couple of Cliff's children. R. A. Harper one of Cliff's sons
died
just a few years ago. I went to his funeral but don't have when he died
written
down. My mom may have though. He was buried here at Marietta so I could
find
out pretty easy. I also she Virgie occasionally but I never really knew
Paul.
He lives around Oklahoma City somewhere. Anyways when my dad was in the
hospital
at Oklahoma City before he died, Paul went to visit him everyday. I met
him at dad's funeral but don't remember much about him. Let me know
what
all information you want about these. If I don't have it I can get it
rather
easily.
Where do you live? Do you live close to Marietta, Oklahoma?
Hope
to hear from you again soon. I may have some pictures and other
information
you might be interested in.

the night before had washed out the bridge over Salt Creek, just down
the
hill from the house. Leon still made it to town in record time, but it
was
two hours before the Doctor could come back to the ranch with him. In

and
then stood in the corner of the bedroom wringing her hands while Eunice
delivered

Peggy Brock supplied the marriage certificates, the Butler connection
and
photos. Sue introduced me to my Harpers, since the pictures of the
grandparents,
etc. I had several photo's of the younger Harper generation and the
information
on Mary Ann Whisenhunt, 'Jack' Harper's wife.... so 3 cousins, 1/2 and
whole,
put this page together... and all because of the Elusive Miss 'Belle'
