With genealogy research, you are never at the end of the trail until you are dead!!
Try contacting the Lavaca Co. library - sometimes there are history books of the county and they have biographies of early settlers - might be something there.
Also, in looking on Rootsweb's WorldConnect site, and searching for a Harp who was born in MD and died in KY, I found mention of a Boston Harp, born about 1779 in MD and died 1814 in Fayette Co., KY.I noticed in the 1860 census, there were several Harps in Fayette County, including a Leah Harp, age 75, born Maryland.I don't have access to the 1840 or 1850 Fayette Co. census records, but you might try that.
Don't give up!
