Early in the history of the county the surname was spelled Harholt. Aaron and Robert Harrald, settled on the Shenan- doah river in 1750, may have been related to one of the two Harold families of this county. There is no known relation- ship between the latter.
Harper. In 1749 Matthew was constable on the Bull- pasture. In 1760 he was living on Christian Cr., and the next year he sold a place in Beverly Manor. In 1767 he made a five days trip to the South Branch to settle the estate of Michael. The belongings of the latter amounted only to $12.54, and Matthew's charge for himself and horse was $2.92. A neighbor to Michael was Paul Hans. In 1752 the two men were bound in the sum of 20 pounds ($66.67) each, each person giving one surety. In 1756 Hans bought of James Trimble the Christopher Sumwalt place on the Black- thorn, but sold it 12 years later and disappears from our sight. The wife of Matthew was Margaret and that of Paul Hans was Elizabeth. In 1769 Adam entered land between East Dry Run and the Crabbottom, and in 1772 Nicholas made an entry on the South Branch a little below the present county line. Adam is said to have come from the river Rhine in 1750, but could have been only a boy at that time. He served in the Indian war and in 1758 was wounded at Up- per Tract. The indications are that Matthew, Michael and Hans were brothers, and that Adam and Nicholas were sons of Michael. Still other Harpers were Jacob and Philip. The former purchased land below Franklin in 1761, and was a neighbor to the Hammers, Coplingers, and Conrads. Our first mention of Philip is in the same year. He seems to have been first around Upper Tract, but soon located on the North Fork on the Joshua Day place. He was exempted from poll tax in 1788. Jacob was a soldier in the Indian war. He was naturalized in 1765, and Philip in 1774. These two were probably brothers, and the Eve C., who married Matthew Dice, was almost certainly a sister to Philip. It is possible that Jacob and Philip were elder brothers to Adam and Nicholas. At all events there is little doubt of a rela- tionship between all the Harpers who came as pioneers to the Valley of Virginia. The loopholed houses of Philip and Adam are yet standing. The latter when built was next to the last dwelling on the South Branch.
We have entered into this discussion of the early Harpers because of the very early arrival of the four pioneers. the large number of the connection at the present time, and the exceptional difficulty of tracing the lines of descent.

At the present time the Harper connection is most numer- ous throughout the length of the North Fork valley, where it is represented by the progeny of both Adam and Philip, es- pecially the former. The Nicholas group is numerous around its original seat on the upper South Branch. The Jacob group has apparently disappeared from Pendleton.
Nicholas, grandson of Philip, built a mill where his grand- son, Nicholas M. still follows the milling business. He was very ingenius, and after observing a chaff-piler at work in the Valley of Virginia, he built an entirely efficient and ser- viceable threshing machine, and it was the first one in use on the North Fork.
Adam (Catharine -) purchased land on the N. F. 1773. He may have had the name Adam Philip.
