John first married Loraine Miner on Jan. 1, 1802 in Harpersfield, Ashtabula County, OH.
His second marriage was to Cynthia Harmon on Apr. 5, 1824 in Unionville, Ashtabula County, OH.
John arrived in Harpersfield in October 1799, along with Aaron Wheeler and family. He died of Typhoid fever on October 30, 1841.
John A. Harper was born March 30, 1774, at Harpersfield, NY, a son of Alexander Harper, who was born in Middleton, CT in 1744; the latter served as a Colonel in the war of the Revolution.
John A. Harper was the eldest son of a family of eight children; he came with his parents to Ohio in 1798, making the journey from Buffalo to Madison township in a sail boat; they settled on a section of land ceded Mr. Harper by the Government for losses sustained by him during the Revolutionary War. He chose the extreme northwest section of the township of Harpersfield. John was given as his portion what is now known as the Stephen Warner farm.
John was first married to Miss Minor, on Jan. 1, 1802 in Harpersfield, Ashtabula County, OH, and they reared a family of nine children, named as follows: Rice, Juliann, Aaron, Lucia, Orrin, Adeline, Caroline, Alexander and Lorain. His second marriage was to Cynthia Harmon, April 5, 1824, in Harpersfield, Ashtabula County, OH, and they had one child, Alexander J. Harper.
John A. Harper was one of the builders of the Madison dock on Lake Erie and was a heavy loser by the contract. He died when Alexander J. was a lad of eleven years; the youth and his mother went, after this sad event, to Rochester, New York, where they resided for five years. Thence they went to Sandusky, Ohio, where Alexander was in school for a period of two years.
John A. Harper is listed as a resident of Wayne on the 1804 Taxes List for Trumbull County, Ohio which later became Ashtabula county. When the 1804 Trumbull Co. land tax assessment list was compiled Ashtabula county and her various townships did not yet exist.
