Hi,

The following has been entered on the web page for Saint Peter Anglican Church Cemetery
Toronto Twp, Peel County, Ontario, Canada

1745 Dundas St. West
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
http://www.interment.net/data/canada/ontario/peel/toronto/stpeter/stpeter.htm

Harper, Joseph, d. 8 Feb 1898 age 54 at Streetsville, s/o the late Joseph Harper, Solicitor of Long Ashton Somersetshire England, and grandson of the late Rev. John Harris, Chaplain to the Garrison of St. Johns Nfld.,

this Harper was my dad's ggg (?) grandfather.  We followed this back to the cook family as well.  Does this help?   If you think we should talk.
I have tons of paperwork that my dad copied before he died.  He was George Caswell.

I have a photograph of the headstone in St. Peter's Cemetery, 1745 Dundas St., Mississauga Ontario of a Joseph Harper who's relative was a Rev. John Harris in Newfoundland.  He was the chaplain to the British Garrison.   The Joseph Harper was my father (George Caswell b. 1915)'s grandfather.  I have letters written by Rev. Harris to his wife.  I have letters written by his wife to the British government asking for a pension following her husband's death in 1709.   Her daughter had married a merchant ship captain named Elliott at the time the letter was written. 
  I have travelled to NFL to the Rooms where the archives are kept but was unable to make a link to the cemetery in Ontario to the family of Rev. John Harris.
  I have the family geneology link from Joseph Harper's wife's family back to Robert Cook who was a United Empire Loyalist.  I would be interested in connecting with anyone from the Harper family.
