Would anyone having information on Hettie HARPER Brown born in Auburn/Opelika, Alabama(an African-American)please contact me. Hettie is my great grandmother who was the daughter of Major HARPER and Betsie Scott; married Bunk Brown and had seven known children. After the birth of her youngest child, Lucy in 1893, Hettie disappears. In fact, by 1897 Bunk Brown had remarried. The following shows Major and Betsie Harper's children:
