The folks at the Harper's Ferry would be the best ones to help -- I've encountered some amazingly helpful folks at little historical museums in WV.

Got your email kat -- the handwriting is terrible and looks very hurried.

I *think* the second word is Ferry, spelled "Fairy." The "y" has an abnormally long first stroke, but it still matches the shape of the other y's in the document. Since the concept of "correct' spelling was in it's infancy, you can't really count on it. Phoenetically, it matches. I'm not sold on that first "F" though.

The first word though... wow. That one's tough; it looks like there wasn't quite enough ink on the pen. It's not "Harper's" I don't think, and the last letter is definately not a "k." It might be an h? The first letter looks incomplete -- the writer starts most capital letters with a downstroke (like M and W) with a flourish, but it's not an upstroke either. If I had to guess at something, it's be G or I, the G makes more sense; it doesn't look anything like the other H's in the document. The second letter is an A or O, the third and fourth letters don't have a tail, but could be almost anything.

Best guesses:
Go__h Fairy
Ga__h Fairy
Ga__t Fairy
Go__t Fairy

Is there a Garrett Ferry in the area? It doesn't show up in the GNIS, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one and the name has fallen out of usage.
