| Notes |
- From harperfamily.ie
Sam and his wife Mary Jane Leech had a family of ten; nine boys and one girl. Farms were bought for six sons who farmed extensively in close proximity to the city of Kilkenny. They were:
- George and Tilly at Annamult,
- Bob and Sylvia at Cantwell's Court,
- Jack and Mabel at Ballyfoyle,
- Sam and Annie at Sandford's Court,
- Victor and Alice at New Orchard with Cramer's Grove and
- Leonard and Bertha at Balleven.
Consequently the Harper family were anchored to the land of County Kilkenny.
Fourth son Reverent William Harper married Elizabeth and lived in Belfast, and the only daughter Edith married Joe Poole and farmed at Ballybeg, Co. Wexford.
