Cooper--there's a reference to him marrying Temperance Matilda Gilmore. Tempie Matilda was named after her mother Temperance Deen--her father was John Gilmore, Sr. according to the info in our archives. This information shows these families living in or near the Byrneville Community in FL near Century. Is this the line that you're looking for, or do you need more specific information on Monroe Cooper or the Elizabeth Creamer? There are two Coopers listed in the Conecuh Guards, there might be a connection there.He's listed in the 1860 Census as a Farm overseer, age 27, born AL Matilda Gilmore is listed as being 18 in 1860, living at home with her parents, John & Temperance Gilmore. Monroe is married to Elizabeth Creamer in 1874, so that doesn't leave too much time for he and Matilda, unless they got married soon after 1860 & she possibly died? Does any of this help you?
