From Ohio Cemetery Preservation Society By Laura Palcisko:

John I. Harper continued to grow up with the settlement of Harpersfield, New York. He married a woman named Amanda and they had a daughter named Hannah about 1810

John I. Harper and his wife had a son Erastus about 1812 and a daughter Samantha about 1814, two other daughters and another son DeWitt C. around 1816

In October of 1816 at age 42, John I. Harper and his wife Amanda purchased 110 acres at the riverbank in Lot Two, Gore number 6 in the Connecticut Western Reserve, of what is now Valley View. The 1820 United States Census lists him in Independence Township as a farmer, along with his brother Archibald. One of their neighbors at that time was Abraham Garfield, the father of the not yet born President James Garfield. John I. Harper's brother Archibald died September 25, 1825.
