In his travels with a lumber company he was working for, he stayed for a while in a hotel in Strong, Arkansas. The hotel was owned and operated by James and Martha Hill (Margaret Kline McCuistion's grandparents). Their 15 year old daughter Lottie (Margaret's mother) helped out in the hotel.

She agreed and in a few months he was back and they did marry. They moved to El Dorado where George had gotten work with the Rock Island railroad as a riptrack foreman.

General Notes:Robert and Agnes lived in the Chester District of Ireland. They emigrated to South Carolina on the Earl of Donegal, arriving December 22, 1767 and settling on Wildcat Creek in the Craven District (now Lancaster County, SC). A land ownership map of Chester County titled, "Land Surveys on Fishing Creek & South Fork", developed by Elmer Oris Parker in 1990 shows Robert Harper's land on the Old Salada Road south of South Fork Creek.
Robert was 38-39 years old when he served in the Revolutionary Militia during 1780-81. His pay stub shows that he served under Captain Parsons and Captain Bridges in Colonel Roebucks Regiment. In 1980, Troy Harper Reynolds, deceased, of Houston placed the results of her study to prove this fact in a book, "Robert Harper, Revolutionary Soldier of the Presbyterian Catholic Church, Chester South Carolina, 1742-1801." Those of Harper lineage and interested in completing their DAR application may wish to refer to her DAR lineage number, 525064.

General Notes:William, with his son Robert and eleven other family members emigrated from Ireland to South Carolina on the Earl of Donegal, arriving December 22, 1767.
Upon arrival, the clerk went aboard "and sworn the Irish passengers arrived in her to their being Protestants" encouraged by the "bounty" (see below) to come to South Carolina. The fares ("passages") were paid at "four pounds and two pounds sterling according to their respective ages to Messrs. Torrans and Pouag" from the "Bounty;" each then received "the remaining twenty shillings sterling" for themselves. A second list of petitions (on which the Harpers appear) contains the names of those who "were also arrived from Ireland in the said ship on the encouragement of the Bounty," apparently having paid their passages, received their Bounties in full.
“Bounty Act”
In order to help settle unoccupied lands, certain clauses in a “General Duty Act,” passed by the General Assembly of the Colony of South Carolina on June 14, 1751, provided some financial relief to encourage the immigration of poor Protestants from Europe to certain parts of South Carolina. On October 5, 1752, the General Assembly altered and amended the Act to enable settling in any part of the province. The Act was generally continued through further occasional actions of the General Assembly. On July 25, 1761, this was broadened as a “Bounty Act” to provide special benefits to European protestant refugees. This later act provided greater impetus to the immigration than was previously noted.
To receive these benefits, immigrants were required to have certificates to show that they were of that religion. Two townships were laid out for the immigrants, “one at Long Cane… called Boonesborough and the other Belfast.” Later, many immigrants were settled at other locations. Adult immigrant s petitioned for benefits based on “family right” (apparently for 100 acres each for family adults and 50 acres each for children under the age of 15, with a “Bounty” from the Public Treasurer to provide for them until established). Special provision was made at times to pay for the immigrants' passages from the Bounty.
“Warrants of Survey for their Lands” were issued on petition of the immigrants, generally at the same time, as authorized under the Act. Encouraged by the Act, large numbers of these protestant immigrants, many otherwise destitute, arrived during somevhat more than the next decade.
William Harper, Sr. was issued 250 acres, Robert 200 acres. They settled on Wildcat Creek in the Craven District, now Lancaster County, SC. Some of the family may have remained Loyalists or non-combatants during the Revolutionary War. A son, Dr. Daniel Harper was forced to return to Ireland for his expressed Loyalist sympathies. When he returned to South Carolina some years later, some reports indicate he may have been hanged for "treason." He is buried in the old Waxhaw Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Lancaster County, SC.
William married Margaret in Ireland.
Children from this marriage were:
168 i. Robert HARPER
Margaret married William HARPER Sr. in Ireland.
