I'm looking for any information on Andrew James Harper. His nickname was James B. He was a great x 3 grandfather. We know he died at Gettysburg, but little else as far as what unit he was in. He took his family to Arkansas around 1860 from South Carolina. When war broke out, he went back to South Carolina and volunteered. Little else is known about him. He had kinfolks in Hagood's 1st SC Infantry and in 12th SC Infantry. His wife died in Arkansas in childbirth and his children were cared for by neighbors until relatives from South Carolina could get to Arkansas to get them. Thanks in advance!
Dave Harper
