Rodney I have a Christopher Columbus Cooper born 1830, Hardin Co., TN who is my 3rd great-grandfather. He lived in Savannah, TN in a area called Horse Creek. He was married to Elizabeth J. Burton and they had 4 sons, John L., Christopher Columbus JR., my 2nd great-grandfather, Squire Bert, and Isaac Joseph. His wife died after Jan 1858, which is when Isaac their last son was born and by 1860 Christopher Columbus was remarried to Margaritt Brown. They had one son James. Not sure what happened to C.C. Cooper Sr. but around 1864 or so Margaritt took C.C. JR., Squire Bert and Issac Joseph to their mothers parents (Burtons) who were living in Hot Springs, AR at that time and left them with their grandparent to be raised. I have no idea what happened to John L. he disappears at this point. She took her son James and went to live with her parents. I think her son went by the last name of Brown instead of Cooper. Christopher Columbus Coopers father's name was John and his mothers name was Drussina or Duphina. I don't know how Frederick William fits into this family. I have never come across that name in the family. I also have never heard of the name Napolean Bonaparte Cooper. I do know that Christopher Columbus Cooper JR. (born 1852 in Savannah, Hardin, TN )had a son named Joseph Napolean born Feb 1879. But C.C. Jr. was around 12 when he was lived in Hot Springs, AR. He apparently did go back to Savannah, TN at some point because I do know that C.C. Cooper Jr. had a child with a lady named Grace. They were never married. The childs name was James Sylvester Cooper and he was born in 1875. James Sylvester had a daughter named Grace. If any of this sounds familiar let me know. Who knows, maybe C.C. had another child also while living in Savannah. C.C. was back in Hot Springs, AR by 1879 because his first child with his wife Samantha Lambert was born in Feb 1879. They had 11 children born while they lived there and they moved to Utah in May 1911. How did you come up with the name of Christpher Columbus being the father of Frederick. Do you have a birth date for Frederick or his father. Sylvia CA ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

does anyone have a children list for that John Cooper? thanks, judy hugg grimes

I am looking for relatives of Frederick William Cooper. His daughter was Grace Cooper, born in Savannah TN in 1900. She married Harley Harris. I believe that Frederick's father was Christopher Columbus Cooper and his father was Napolean Bonaparte Cooper. Some of the Cooper's lived in St. James MO. Frederick died in Southern Illinois(Pulaski County). Any help would be appreciated. Rodney Harris rivrcity@midwest.net

Fergy, I would love to connect with BENJAMIN, SHARSHALL, etc. My JOHN had no parents or siblings that Ican find. plus he was 44 when he died, probally of wounds from the war of 1812.When I used to travel to Frankfort Ky to Gen/hist records I would not look at SARSHALL records, etc, because "he was not my line". But JOHN COOPER b 1775 Baltimore Md went to Ruckerville (Clark Co Ky) to live on 1/3 of 800 acres his father in law had left three of his children (266 acers). This was about ten miles north of Ft Boonesborough (Madison Co), just N of the Ky River. LTC BENJAMIN,DANIEL, WILLIAM, wife FRANCIS, JOHN, Capt SARSHALL, BRAXTON Sr and Jr, STEPHEN ROBERT, etc all went (not at the same time- I counted 18) up the Ky River,down the Ohio, then up the Missouri by steam boat. LEWIS of Lewis and Clark was Governor. Other families also went EMBREE, HANCOCK,BERRY, ERWIN, BROWN, WOLFSKILL, THORPE, JONES, PEAK, WOODS. And this is not my line. Any ideas???

Some of them were Benjamin, Sarshall, Braxton to name a few. Benjamin had a son named John, however, he was born about 1791 and married a Lakey.

I agree, please change the subject line, so we have a choice to delete or not. Thanks so much.

Could we retire this subject line now? There must be 200 of these in the archives by this time! Sandy in Florida

hello vernon--thanks for the help! John Cooper was in Platte co. MO in 1850 census. We think the father of John Cooper is Thomas Cooper who wed Nanacy Cornelius in VA. (franklin co.). Don't have documents on this. In the 1850 Platte, MO. census John Cooper is living just one door away from a Thomas Cooper with wife Nancy. This Thomas Cooper is supposably buried at the Cooper Cemetery in Gentry co. MO. We still don't have documents to prove any of this except for the burial and --just the census record. We think the Thomas Cooper family moved from Franklin, VA. to Hendricks, Indiana to Platte co. MO about 1840? and then to Gentry co. by 1852 MO. Do you have any documents or evidence on this family? I sure would like to prove up on some theories. thanks for any help. If you have information on the children of benjamin cooper could you link them to my thomas or john or nathaniel? with documentation? I But, the above data is about what I know on my Coopers. I do appreciate your help and your understanding of the lineages of these Coopers. judy hugg grimes
