My son contributed his COOPER DNA for "the cause" this past week. I look forward to connecting with others from our line. To this point, I haven't had any success in locating ancestors earlier than Marion COOPER born at Fort Gaines GA c1840. He fought with Co E, 59th Regiment GA . By 1880 he and his family are found in Polk Co GA, Fish Creek Dist. Looks like his wife, Emily may have been a PERRY. T One of their sons, Joel Augustus COOPER born Oct 08, 1859 married Ioda B. MORGAN June 03, 1880 in Polk Co. The COOPER's were brick masons. Other surnames connected to our COOPER line near Cedartown GA are CLAY, WILKIE and GRIFFIN. If you know this bunch please give me a holler. Thanks, Diane Allen Cooper

Terri, could this be Lee Allen Cooper Sr? Name: Lee Allen Cooper Service Info.: PVT US MARINE CORPS WORLD WAR II Birth Date: 28 Jan 1926 Death Date: 14 Oct 1997 Service Start Date: 26 May 1944 Service End Date: 22 Dec 1945 Interment Date: 17 Oct 1997 Cemetery: Leavenworth National Cemetery Cemetery Address: P. O. Box 1694 4101 S. 4th St, Traffic Way Leavenworth, KS 66048 Buried At: Section 47 Row 13 Site 35 Ben

He supposedly was born in Kirkwood, Missouri on 5/1926-27. That is all I have other than his name and he was the bio-father to my ex-husband. I also have the marriage license to my ex-mother-in-law. They were divorced in 1948. What little is coming to me is from an elderly ex-mother-in-law, who I am not sure remembers anything. I appreciate anything you can do. She did indicate he was from Missouri. That is all I have. Would like to get something on his parents and other descendants for my daughter and grandson. I am one of those that is a 3 times cancer survivor all in the last 6 years and like many of us, we always feel we need the information today and complete for the people we leave behind. Silly, huh? That is my problem, but why I am pushing to get something. It is like Lee Allen Cooper Sr. disappeared. Thanks for anything you might be able to do.

Curt; Thanks so much...................I am only second guessing at this time. I had sent an inquiry to this list on my ex-husband's family. My ex-husband is deceased and he never knew his biological father. His parents divorced when he was a baby and never saw him again. My ex's name was Lee Allen Cooper Jr. born 8/22/1947 in St. Louis, Mo. His bio father, of course, was Lee Allen Cooper Sr. My ex-mother-in-law was Josephine Leona (Hampton) Cooper. (Now Matthews) She leaves in Illinois and is elderly and has difficulty with her memory. I am trying to trace the Cooper family for my daughter and her son. I have never had much luck with Lee Allen Cooper Sr. My ex-mother-in-law says he was born 5/6/1926-27 in Kirkwood, Missouri. (Near St. Louis) But I have had no luck in this area of finding a birth certificate. To be truthful, she verily knew him and they were only married a little over two years, so I am not sure she knows. It does say on my ex-husband's birth certificate that his father was 21 at his birth. That would place Lee Sr.'s birth in 1926. A very nice man on this list named Ben was trying hard to help me. He found a census for 1930 that showed a child named Allen Cooper at 3.5 years old. Again, that would place Lee Allen Sr. in the same birth year. It shows the following for the rest of his family. Floyd Cooper Head 26 Maxine or Mammie (not sure of name) wife 23 Gladys daughter 5 Allen son 3 1/2 Juanita daughter 2/12 Carl ( I think) son 4/12 My ex-mother-in-law never knew Lee Sr's parents names. She said he had a sister named Lolita and my daughter looks just like her. But I am wondering if she is remembering it incorrectly and it could have been Jaunita, as Ben suggested. On the same street is another Cooper family. Lewis Head 54 Liza wife 47 Guy or Gary son 24 Ben son 19 Jewell daughter 16 Everett son 11 Tella daughter 5 I wondered if Floyd was a son of this family? She did state that Lee Allen Cooper Sr.'s father was a sheriff at some point in time, somewhere in Missouri. But that has not been confirmed and coming from a person with a poor memory. She said that Lee Allen Sr's father left the family never to return and his mother had to raise the kids and was crippled. Funny she would remember all of that, but not their names. I have sent the 1930 census to her to see if anything rings a bell, but no response to date. I will be surprised if she does reply. Anyway, since I could not locate anything on a Lee Allen Cooper that matched Sr.'s birthday or anything in Missouri, I am looking close at him going by Allen Cooper.My ex-mother-in-law may assume he was born in Kirkwood, even though that is what is on my ex-husband's birth certificate, I am not sure. Would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks again, Terrie Cooper-Piper ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Anna; I found your great-grandfather, living with his Uncle and Aunt 1900, N. Carolina. I found him with your great-grandmother and your grandmother Mary and her brother Roy in 1920 in NC. I haven't found them in 1930. You grandfathers WWII Draft Registration gives their address in 1942, the year your father was born, as: 22 Lexington Ave. Montclair, Essex Co., NC. I thought as I read the information you posted after my reply that this was WWII time. Your Dad's mother could have had a relationship with an outbound soldier, as many young women did at the time and found herself pregnant and the father overseas. He may not have known about your father, may have been wounded or died in the War. Apparently your great-grandparents were in disagreement about the placement of your father as your great-grandfather engineered the reunion of your father and his mother after your great-grandmother died. This also sounds like a private arrangement between your grandparents and this family, so you may find nothing "legal" documenting it. If you know the whereabouts of your father's Uncle Roy or his family, you may want to ask them. Or, the children of the family that fostered him. >From one Military Brat to Another Happy Hunting, Sherry ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Ben; Just thought I would let you know, the marriage license/application for Josephine Leona Hampton and Lee Allen Cooper (Sr) gave me nothing. No parents information on Lee or anything. I did send the census report of 1930 to my ex-mother-in-law showing the two Cooper families in McDonald County, Mo. I ask her if she recognized any of the names and if she ever knew that Lee was called by his middle name of Allen? She is elderly and not well, so I do not know what I will get from her or if I will get anything from her?

Hello Terrie, My name is Curtis Reynolds. My Cooper family is from McDonald county, MO. I have a large record on my side of the family there. They were Quakers and easy to trace. This may not help but I have an Allen Cooper, parents Isaac Cooper Jr. and Elizabeth Kennedy. BUT, Allen was born July 28, 1838, so this may not help. This is not my line of Cooper's directly but I have some records of other related Cooper's in my data bases. Be glad to help if you think you can make anything of this. OH, Allen was born in Miami County, Ohio.
