Married Name Cyprus2 
Birth*circa 1848 MO, Shows up in 1850 census with a neighbor family - according to the 1860 census she would be 1 or 2. But it would seem strange for Mary to name a first born girl after a previous wife. Given age of 2 in Sept. 1850 census and Dec. 1849 marriage to new wife, seems likely to be daughter of first wife. Although there is no shred of proof, is it possible that Armilda the mother died in labor and the child was sent out of the household to be cared for?1

Was Armilda a twin? Did their mother die in child birth? Were the Harper's related? Possibly but given the value of real estate, seems that they were helping out?, Principal=John L. Jones, Principal=Mary Ann Milsap3
