Sherry and Searching1,
“Searching1” ‘s Susannah Napier who m’d John G. Collins abt. 1839/40 (oldest children 10 in 1850) probably in Clay Co., Ky, would have to be one of Sherry’s distant Napier cousins ….
a short overview:
1850 Clay Co., Ky, John G. Collins, 38, b.Tenn, and wife Susannah, 37, b.Va., lived next door to Amos Collins, 60, b. Va.
1840 Clay Co Napiers (“Naper” & “Napper”)
Edmund/Edward Naper, 50 to 59 yrs old.
James Napper, 40 to 49.
PATRICK Napper, 20 to 29. (Junior)
They came from 1830 Harlan Co., Ky (where Sherry’s remained):
Edmund/Edward Napier, 40 to 49.
James Napier, 30 to 39.
Micajah Napier, 30 to 39.
PATRICK Napier, 60 to 69 (Senior)
Patrick Napier, 20 to 29 (Junior)
1820 LEE CO., VA:
Napper, ROBERT, age 26 to 44.
Napper, PATRICK, age 45 and over.
Napper, MICAGER, age 26 to 44. (same as Micajah)
This is Sherry’s Robert “Napper”, b.1787, son of Edward, b.1764, son of Patrick Napier and Judith Mary Burke. Recall that Robert’s sister Sarah was born in Lee Co., Va about 1798.
The particulars need to be “fleshed out” but this looks like the roadmap.

sorry i dont. i just know that she married john g. collins, son of amos and muriel collins. my aunt dorothy shepherd was married to an adrian napier also. just trying to make all the connections. john and susannah lived in kentucky their children are:robert robin, lucinda, nancy, thomas,john m., freelin, elizabeth, and solomon. thanx for your quick response. i love this web site.
Janie,
Sorry. The “recall that ….” comment was for Sherry but I didn’t make that very clear.
Edmund “Naper”/Napier, James “Napper”/Napier, Patrick “Napper”/Napier and Elijah Collins, Amos Collins, Calvin Collins, Gilbert Collins and “Freelin” Collins, were all in 1840 Clay County at the same time and living near each other.
These COLLINS are the same ones whose siblings and cousins moved to Morgan and Monroe Counties, Indiana, and later to Ozark and Douglas Counties, Missouri, descendants of David Collins, b.abt. 1750, probable brother or cousin of Meridith Collins, who are also the ancestors of Jeff Collins who is also on this Forum (see the thread on this Genealogy section “CRONEY”).
I gave Sherry a private ‘heads up’ to look at this NAPIER thread.

Patrick R. Napier, Burning Springs, February 8, 1898
I was born in Harlan County in 1816. My father was James Napier. He was born in Lee County, Va. He removed to Harlan County about 1820. he was a soldier of the War of 1812. He was a son of Patrick Napier who moved from Lee Co, Va a few years after my father. Patrick Napier had children as follows: James, my father, Edmund, Patrick Cager, William, renny, Thomas, Judy (Howard), Betsy (Howard), Fannie (Guwin), Thomas remained in Virginia. The Howards who married the girls were the sons of Sammie Howard of Harlan. My father married his daughter Elizabeth. My grandfather Patrick Napier, lived and died in Harlan. Old Gen. George Brittain lived on a mound 4 miles above Harlan Court House.
Farmer Roberts, Big Creek, KY, March 31, 1898
In the year 1877, Col. John Lucas, John Dishman, Carlo Little, Bill McCollum,(Hunting Shirt) Willis Sizemore, H.L Napier (Hughes L. Napier, son of Edmund Napier and Sarah Howard), and myself, according to custom went to the Middle Fork to hunt and fish. We had done this for several years. This time we went to Greasy. While in camp one night, two men were killed near our camp. james Napier and James Asher were killed. Napier killed Asher and William Sizemore killed Napier. He fled the country, in now in Arkansas. After Napier killed Asher he came to the door of our cabin and begged to get in, his father was in, we let him in. I was lying on a pallet when he came in. He came to me. I arose and just then Sizemore burst into the room, rushed to Napier, put the muzzle of his Ballard rifle against him and fired, killed him instantly. This was our last hunt. We then went out and got Ashers dead body, brought it in and laid both out in the same room. We were camped in an old house.
Sherry,
Mary E. Garret was JOhns second wife in Keokee, Va. He killed his second wife.. I don`t know yet who her parents were.. I bet she will be kin to Elizabeth in some way.. Do you know if Elizabeth is buried there to?? I appericate what you have already given me.
The father to Robert Napier b. 1820 (m. Mourning Noe) is unknown. I do know that he had sister named Sarah Napier b. abt 1814 d. 1863 m. 1st John Ledford (1809-1900) 2nd John Daniel.
In 1860 census John Daniel & Sarah Napier had a Mary Napier in the household who I think is her mother.
1860 Harlan County, Kentucky
John Daniel 64 VA 450/200
Sarah 45 KY
Isaac 15 KY
Nathaniel 14 KY
Almira 13 KY
Jerucia 9 KY
Fanny 5 KY
Mary Napier 75 VA
Catherine Leforce? 21 KY
“After obtaining their patent, John Ledford and Robert Napier, who were brothers-in-law, made a verbal division of the land called for by its terms, so that Robert Napier’s moiety would lie next to his home place.”
Also the Generations book on the Ledford’s it lists John Ledford’s wife as Martha Napier and that she died 1839. It is wrong. They divorced 1841. I am decendant of John Ledford & Sarah Napier.
A lot of information in Generations is wrong. Email me at sheree606@alltel.net number9coal…if you don’t care. I have a few questions.
Sherry
Just a note of possible interest: There is a branch of the Nappers/Napiers that moves into Ohio from Virginia. They settle in Vinton Co., along with the Thackers, and are listed as Mulatto at least as late as 1860.
Seems the Corn’s in Albemarle Co (later Fluvanna Co) had Napier’s as neighbors in the mid-late 1700’s. A Champion Napier and a Richard Napier are mentioned in a deed in April 1778. Later on, an Elizabeth Evelyn Napier married Humphrey Posey Corn in Bumcombe Co, NC around 1835.
Also, if you have not seen it yet, you should go to
http://ajax.lva.lib.va.us/F/?func=file&file_name=find-b-clas08&local_base=CLAS08 and search on “Napier”. This is the online link to the Library of Virginia. It shows that they have 5 wills (actually any court record) for the following:
Patrick Napier dated 1669
Rene Napier dated 1751
Robert Napier dated 1763
Patrick Napier dated 1775
Booth Napier dated 1780
Just thought you all might be interested.
