Some while back I posted a query and was hoping someone would recognize my Cooper's... I see Cooper research going on all over the US but very little in the part of the US that I am most interested... So, I'm going to post my research 'needs' once again -- I am after some very mysterious ancestors. These ancestors seemed to not stay in one place but moved - often! I have been fortunate to connect with a descendent from one of the children but would love to meet more!! And, if anyone recognizes these folks, please let me know!! To start the list, Andrew COOPER married Mehitable WHITE on the 8th of September in the year 1815. This marriage took place in Berwick. Specific information about both Andrew and his bride are rather sketchy! Who were Andrew's parents? Where was Andrew born on the 8th of March, 1792? Maine? If so, where?? Mehitable is listed with a birthday of the 21st of January 1797 and a birthplace as New Hampshire!! This lovely couple had quite a family! Their children number 10... ° Mary Jane was born first - 17 Mar 1818 (Berwick??) ° Alexander came second - 15 Nov 1822. He died 21 Mar 1832 in Berwick ME. ° Ann Elizabeth was born 17 Nov 1824 and died 11 Apr 1832 (I am REALLY CURIOUS as to why these two siblings died so closely together!! Was there an epidemic at this time??) ° Sara Francis was born 23 Nov 1826. She is said to have married a George Smith Piper on 18 Jan 1846 in Brunswick NJ and died at the great age of 99 on the 15th of April 1925 in Hurley SD ° Moses was born 30 Apr 1828 and died 26 June 1831 ° Andrew, Jr was born the 3rd of Aug 1830. He married Esther Andrews ° Elizabeth Ann was born 10 Feb 1833 and died 31 Mar 1849 in Biddeford. She is buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Biddeford. ° Twins Alonzo and Lorenzo were born 4 Oct 1835. Both went to California to seek their fortunes in the gold fields. -- Alonzo married Mary Adelaide Lowell on 6 Apr 1863 in Otisfield ME. -- Lorenzo seems to have disappeared! It is said he married in California and produced children but I am unable to verify this information... ° Daniel Webster was born 25 Sept 1838. It is said he was a mariner but I've been unable to verify this bit of information or, find anything further about him... If you go to http://www.budlink.us/Norm_Web_cards/wc01/wc01_400.htm you will see the same information I've provided here... I'd love to discover more about this Cooper family and would appreciate input from other Cooper list members. I've contacted both cities of Biddeford and Berwick and am constantly begging when I see someone announcing they do 'lookups' in any and all printed matter from, in particular, York County... This is my MOST WANTED family with the Pages and Brown's from Brownsville ME a close 2nd.

Hello and I am searching for descendants of the John Cotton & Issac Cooper line from Spartanburg to South Central Ky, Butler County and surrounding counties please. Rhoda/Roda Cooper Givens Gibson was married twice and I trying to find out some information about her family specifically. Please email me and cc the message to rlholt_ky@yahoo.com since this address sometimes bounces. Thanks so much Robin Holt

Rose, Thank you we know John was born in Nottingham, Chester County PA and his father and mother were born in Nottingham, Chester County, PA. I wish I had more to go on. I am assuming he retired from Dupont. Is there still a Dye works in Deepwater, NJ I have thought about contacting them but I am not sure where to write too. He may have been single or his wife died because in 1942 on his draft registration he was 59 years old and gave Laura Holmes as his point of contact and we do not know who she is or if she fits into the family.

You may also want to list this on the Knox County, Ohio list since the family was all born in Ohio and was living in Mt. Vernon, Knox County in 1850. Hugh was a merchant. If he didn't carry the Bible to Phoenix then perhaps a descendant did. Hopefully it can be reunited with its family. If no takers it would be helpful if at least the information could be forwarded to the Ohio Genealogical Society in Mansfield, OH who keep file cabinets of photocopied Bible records. -- Elissa Elissa Scalise Powell, CG www.PowellGenealogy.com CG and Certified Genealogist are Service Marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists used under license after periodic evaluations by the Board. http://www.BCGcertification.org/ > -----Original Message----- > From: apg-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:apg-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf > Of Buch419@aol.com > Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 4:03 PM > > I was in an "out-of-print" bookstore today in Phoenix and ran across the > following huge old Bible, in excellent condition and copyright dated 1835. $250: > Hugh Cooper b. 1815 and Elizabeth Dean b. 1818, mar. 1835 and children > listed: Maryell, Ann, Jay, Cary, Amanda > > This was all that was in the Bible.

Can anyone on this List be able to assist me in finding any information on Robert Cooper who married Margaret Booth who it is believed that they lived in Glasgow or Lanarkshire. They had one known child James Cooper, born 1843, who married Mary McIlraith on 1 June 1866 in Glasgow. This family migrated to Sydney, New South Wales in the early 1880s. Any assistance will be gratefully received. Andrew

Jackie, My grandmothers name was Sarah Rippy Cooper. She married my Grandfather-James Theodore Vertrees. I know for sure my grandfather was born in Ky. The census I've seen always have her as being born in Ky. But her daughter , said she was born in Tenn., that was the info she gave for her Obit. when she passed away. She was born 8 July 1862, but some census has her from 1859-1861. She was about 20 Yrs. younger than my grandfather. They married in Evansville. Ind. in1879. She passedaway on May 11, 1916 in Owensboro, Ky. where all my family lived aswell as the rest of her children except for two. I really appreciate your offer and maybe can find something about her.
