HISTORY OF SANBORNTON.
THE HARPER FAMILY.
1. WILLIAM HARPER'S name first appears upon the town records as "Capt." W. H., chosen " representative 1785," and Wm. H., Esq. (as ever after), "constable 1786 " He came from Deerfield some time previously to the former year, where he had tirst settled, having m. Mary Lane, dau. of John4, and sister of the Lane brothers who settled in this town. Of his parentage nothing is known, save that his mother was a Scribner, and that the " old Mr. Harper, who dyed" here Ang. 25, 1790, was probably his father. lle is presumed to have been descended from Joseph Harper, an early resident of Brain- tree, Mass. One of his sisters, Anna, b. April 3. 1750, had m. David Bean (see p. 28 [4]) ; another, Elizabeth, m., 1st, a Smith, in Ray- mond, or Candia (father of Nathan, in this town) ; m., 2d, Asahel Quimby (see) ; m., 3d, Dea. Ebenezer Colby ( see p. 171 [117]) ; and in., 4th, Benjamin Robinson, the father of Benjamin, Jr. (Calef Hill) . Ile bought out Josiah Sanborn, on the hill above the first meeting- house, and became an extensive landholder in other parts of the town. He also took a prominent part in all public affairs in town, as being its only lawyer, and built one of the finest houses of that day, now owned by Mr. Chesley, indulging a little rivalry with Mr. George C. Ward, which resulted in the third story upon the latter's honse at the lower end of the village!
In 1788 he was chosen delegate from Sanbornton to the convention held in Exeter and Concord for adopting the new Constitution of the United States. Suspicions were entertained that he would oppose it, and the friends of the Constitution in town "endeavored, by all the powers of persuasion they could command, to induce him to change his purpose." He contended that " the powers conferred upon the general government were too great ; that the abundant patronage con- ferred upon some, and the independent tenure of office upon other departments, would tend to consolidation, and lead to the exercise of tyranny and oppression." It was rumored that Esq. Harper was . among the four or five members of the convention for whom a strat- agem was planned to detain them from the final vote ; but it did not succeed in his case, for his vote was among the 47 given against the Constitution, though, happily, with 57 in its favor! He was thought to be entirely sincere in his convictions, and by his action in this mat- ter seems not to have lost his popularity among his fellow-citizens, as he was elected sole representative of the town from 1791 to 1800, continuously, and three times moderator of town meeting, 1792-96. lle d. Dec. 31, 1809 ; his wife had d. June 18, 1806 ; his mother, as " Widow Harper," d. in this town, April 6, 1803. Children :
