Has anyone on the list researched the following COOPER family of Osage Co., MO? I believe the Stoddard County family moved to Osage County between 1860 and 1870. I would very much appreciate any help to confirm the connection of the Stoddard and Osage County Cooper family as well as any descendants of this family. H.
