Cooper. Here is an obit for the James B. Cooper that I am talking about. Oddly, it appears in an Ohio newspaper.... _______________________________________________________________________________ Defiance Democrat, Defiance, Ohio, Saturday, March 11, 1854; page 4 Commander James B. Cooper, of the U. S. Navy, died at Haddonfield, N.J., on Sunday, the 5th, aged ninety-three years. He entered the naval service on the 9th day of July, 1812, as sailing master, and after the peace; received a lieutenant's commission from President Mon- roe, and in September, 1841 became a com- mander. He was the last survivor of "Lee's Legion," so celebrated in the revolutionary war, and participated in many of the exciting scenes, during the struggle for independence. ______________________________________________________________________________ - Ed
