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!
