One of my ggggg grandmothers is an Elspet Farquhar from Wick, b1737, married Alexander Oag.

I'll need to check source but I suspect that this is only from IGI and as yet unproven.  I'll try and look tonight but may have to leave until weekend.

Nothing for Harper.

What's your connection to them?

One thing that sticks in my mind is that it was spelled differently - Fraquhar I think.
