There was a senator named Pinckney also. Julia Cooper

After you study your COOPER families during the first recession of this country in it`s younger days you will also need to consider the first depression period. 1796 thru 1799 for a total of 36 months of depression would definitely make the families to thing of moving westward to greener pastures.(g) This country did have more depressions other than 1929 to 1933. In fact, there were a total of ten (10) depression periods between 1788 and 1991. For all you Civil War/War of Rebellion [etc.] buffs there was a depression before AND after. There were many, many recession periods to deal with over that span of time. Many of us can still smell the red ink as well as the black ink splattering among the bookkeepers.(g) Take care and best wishes to all. John Michael O`Melia 13jo36@BellSouth.net

Just for information -~ the PINCKNEY surname is a very important one in SC and Revolutionary history. Charles PINCKNEY and his son Charles Coatsworth PINCKNEY were very wealthy planters, and I think, the son signed the Declaration of Independence (father or son, for sure). They did have large families and many of the families continued to use the PINCKNEY surname as a middle name, but other families named their children in honor of the PINCKNEY family. The PINCKNEYs were also large slave owners and quite a few of them adopted the surname PINCKNEY. Hope this might help some of you. The PINCKNEYs were in the Charleston and lowcountry area. Most of the MCKISSICKS that I have known came from Greenville Co., and quite a few of them are now in Pickens Co. I may be able to offer a bit of help on the MCKISSICKS if you want to write me privately. Godspeed... Dolores Miller Pringle - native of Pickens Co.,SC; currently of Horry Co., SC

Do you know if this particular Joseph Cooper was a preacher? Linda

Sanita, Jaw and Cousin Tim Fox, Just returned from Germany, Have some answers to your questions but need time to rest and look at my file's. Will try and respond this weekend. The Hoover's are connected to this Cooper line back in Pennsylvania. Amos Pinckney Cooper, my gg grandfather is the son of Amos who was the son of Jacob and Rebecca of Union County SC. There may be more Cooper relations that migrated to the Marion County Alabama/Itawamba Cty Miss and other surrounding area's than I have discovered. Take Care, Danny Cooper Byrd

Marty, have you looked at the 1880 census to see where the two brothers say their parents were born? That fact would be of some help in sorting out just who they belong to. Were you able to find the two boys with their parents in the 1860 MO census? Did you look at the 1850 Jerseyville area census to see if there were Coopers in that area? From the brother's ages, do obituaries give names of other siblings? or different names for parents? Mary wrote about....

Hi, List. I have just made a discovery after getting my grandmothers birth certificate, that her fathers name was Louis Franklin Cooper not Franklin Louis Cooper and for the past 6 months that is the name I have been researching. Boy do I feel like a dummy. Also on her birh certificate it states his and her mother (Harriet Ellen Brown) place of birth as being just the US. How in the world does one go about finding out what state they were born in? I waa under the impression it was Indiana but I could be wrong. I have copies of census records that states both thier places of birth was Indiana. So how does one go about finding that out. If anyone has information on either Louis Franklin Cooper b. dec 2, 1857 died feb 14, 1948 or Harriet Brown born in 1853 I would greatly appreciated. I have hit a total brick wall when it comes to the two of them. Thanks, Nancy, from Indiana ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Hi Tootie, I just happened to have come across a Caleb Cooper listed in the 1820 KY census while I was looking for my Cader, who was married in Christian Co.in 1816. Caleb was in Pulaski Co. on page 68A. Sorry I don't have the specifics, just the index notation, but it might be a lead. FWIW_Marty, KY was military land grant country, so maybe the "Cap" came from a militry rank?? Or maybe a slurred "contraction" of Caleb??? Just a thought... BTW-interesting too that my grandma was a MANNING, from the NC line, starting with "a" John, 1635. I checked our book, but the Lucind/i/a in it was b. 1820, the d/o Benjamin, Jr. and Sylvia, who helped settle Butler Co., AL. NOTE: Your marriage dates<<He married (1) Lucinda Anna Manning(Mannan) May 21, 1893 in Jasper County , IN...He married (2)Anna Manning May 21, 1893 in Jasper Co., IN >>> and the fact of Anna being Lucinda's middle name; two marriages, or just the same thing said two different ways??? I would sure like to find a link back for John *C* Cooper, who looks to have been the father of Zachariah, who was b. 1783 in SC, and my Cader b. 1796, as he names them among his sons in his will in Monroe Co, MS in 1829. (They DID get around back then, didn't they??!!) Best Wishes, Nancy Cooper Rosetta Hotler wrote: > > Descendants of John D. Cooper > > Generation No. 1 > > 1.

You post caught my eye because of the Pinkney name in SC. My grandfather is a Cooper and grandmother a McKissick. The McKissicks were in SC at the time you describe and several have the middle name Pickney. I have researched it a bit and apparently there was a large plantation owner by the name of Pinkney in the area. Many descendants and also slave descendants carry the Pickney name. Do you have any McKissicks in your tree? Mine also moved onto MS.

I wonder what was the atmosphere during the first recession of this young country and our COOPER families during the years 1788 to 1790. 24 months of recession. I we sure that they were calling it a recession?? Do you know where your COOPER were living during these years?? Were the stage companies cutting back on their trips?? Did our COOPER lines face the problem of not enough road building by the states and the central government?? Was there a strain in the commodities market on corn, pork, beef, etc?? Shipping routes at sea still facing John Bull blockades?? Do you know what your COOPER was doing during those years?? Farmers in the COOPER line finding it harder to get their implements and grain. Was the exchange of currency still in tobacco during these years?? If you have some information concerning your COOPER during the years of 1788 to 1790 that would add some color to the times and willing to share on this list....it would indeed be most interesting to the true history buff.(g) John Michael O`Melia [I was not there at the time] 13jo36@BellSouth.net [Long before Alexander Bell, too]

Hi Bette... I am looking for COOPERs in England too. I don't think your Mark COOPER is part of my family, but you never know. The COOPERs I am looking for are from the Rosedale/Lastingham/Danby area of North Yorkshire. My ancestor had a brother named Mark Dowson COOPER born 1799 (named after his grandfather, Mark Dowson). He did have a son named Mark, but he stayed in Yorkshire. I found the following possibility at www.familysearch.org/ for your Mark COOPER. Mark COOPER christened 23 Aug 1829 at Ratcliffe Culey, Leichester, England Parents: William and Ann COOPER This looks like a good fit with your info. It looks like your folks wanted to name a later son William after the eldest son had died (perhaps named after Mark's father??). Other possible siblings for Mark COOPER: Sarah, William, George, John, James, etc., also names in your family. Good luck!
