Perrin Kent or maybe Racheal Kent??
My great great grandfather's name was William Harper.I can learn no more about him anyfurther back/But one of his sons was namedPerrin Kent Harper.William also had a daughter named Racheal.It was a common family practise to name their children after some one significant like an uncle, or grandfather or Older brother.So we feel there is a link between Perrin Kent and the Harper family. Did Perrin have a sister Racheal who married a Harper?William Harper was born in 1821 in Ohio and I have found out that Perrin Kent was also in Ohio in that time period.It was also just as common to name their daughters after a significant person.
So can any one tell me if I am on the right track and tell me if there is a connection beween the Harpers and Kents.
Thank-you for your help.
