Not my branch of Harpers, but think I found some info for you.

1880 census Hickory Grove, Gibson Co, TN, page 479 A:

Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace
Will HARPER Self M Male W 37 TN Farmer VA NC

Homer HARPER Son S Male W 12 TN Laborer TN TN
Henry HARPER Son S Male W 10 TN Laborer TN TN
Lizzie HARPER Dau S Female W 8 TN TN TN
Emma HARPER Dau S Female W 6 TN TN TN
Joseph HARPER Son S Male W 3 TN TN TN

Same page, probably mother of Will:

Bettie HARPER Self W Female W 57 NC Farmer NC NC
Mary HARPER Dau S Female W 19 TN Laborer NC NC
Joseph HARPER Son S Male W 15 TN Laborer NC NC

Page 479 B, probably some kind of kin, might be brother to Will's father:

Henry HARPER Self M Male W 65 NC Farmer VA NC
Ruth HARPER Wife M Female W 61 TN Keeping House NC NC
Wilson WEBB Nephew S Male W 18 TN Laborer TN TN
Annie SANDEFORD Niece S Female W 19 TN At Home TN TN
Henry BISHOP Other S Male B 13 TN Servant TN TN

1870 census Knox Co, TN:

Harper, William, 23, b TN
" Minerva, 22, b TN
" Alfred, 6, b TN
" (Gilmore ?), 4, b TN [name not real clear]
" William, 1, b TN
Janes, Sarah, 60, b TN [might be grandmother to Will or Minerva?]

Same page:

Harper, John, b TN - no land/personal 125
" Elisabeth, 47, b NC [see Bettie in 1880]
" Elisabeth, 15, b NC
" Mary, 10, b NC
" Joseph, 6, b NC

1860 census Knox Co, TN:

Harper, John, 45,b TN
" Elizabeth, 34, b TN
" William, [age not clear, looks to be 14]
" Jane, 8, b TN
" Elizabeth, 5, b TN

Go to Rootsweb's World Connect -- http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi -- found someone working on this line. Type in Harper, John, b 1815 + or - five years. Second one is a match, and others may have matches, too, I just didn't take time to go through all of them. You can contact submitter and get sources etc.

Happy Hunting (^_^)
