Was first married about 1840 to Nathan Harper (Born: about 1822 in Muhlenberg, Kentucky Died: May 1860 in Graves County, Kentucky of consumption). After 1863, she married his cousin, Kinion Harper (Born: 1809 in Muhlenberg, Kentucky Died after 1880 in Graves County, Kentucky). As far as I know, Kinion and Janey did not have any children together. The burial place of both husbands is unknown.
