Hi Gladys So glad someone had success. :) The only COOPER I am searching is Thomas COOPER m: Sarah Jane POWELL in the 1860s in IL. They are the gg grandparents of my children. Trying to find out which line has Blackfoot heritage. Somewhere I have/had info of a woman searching Howell. If I find it will send you contact.

I not only found the Cooper from Pennsylvania where my ancestors came from but found the names of Hawk and Howel, Howell which I am also trying to find my ancestors. My Coopers came from James Cooper father of Judge William Cooper in his second marriage. His son Meshack born Sept 1782, Pennsylvania; died June 1, 1853 in Holmes co., Ohio,and his son James. James was born 1813inPennsylvania., also found in Coshocton Co.,Ohio and moved to Illinois where his first child was born. Wonder if we could be related. No male Coopers that I know of for the DNA test.
