Just realized Marion Co,MS is one Co over from Pike Co,MS. My Grdmother Sarah Elizabeth COOPER JACOBSEN IMHOFF came to Pike Co abt 1880 after her two IMHOFF daughters were born in NE. Her parents were Micajah & Lydia HOOVER COOPER of Balt MD. Lydia was born in PA this being abt 1808. Could ther be a chance that your COOPER and our family are tied in somewhere back in that time period. I'm told that Micajah was from the John and unk TRACEY COOPER marriage. Have you came across any TRACEYs in the COOPER line? jaw
