I have been researching two HOOPER women in Franklin County beginning in about 1890. Mary Elizabeth HOOPER born Sept 15, 1850 in Gadsden AL. married Marcellus Chesley BOATWRIGHT in Jackson County, AL in 1869. The family was living west of Ozark on White Oak Creek by 1890. Mary Elizabeth was my Grandmother. Susan Elizabeth HOOPER born June 15, 1862 in AL married Henry Columbus ROBERTSON in 1877 in AL. The BOATWRIGHT and ROBERTSON families were said to have moved together and were cousins but I have not been able to figure out who Susan's parents were. I would love to learn more about your HOOPER family. Mary Boatwright Yegge Gresham, OR USA
