I have John W. Cooper born March 26, 1864 in Tennessee and died in Marion County, Arkansas, November 18, 1903. He had a brother, Berry, and a sister, Louisa Caledonia. His parents were John Cooper and Mary Adeline Maxie/Maxey/Massey. Mary Adeline Cooper was a widow in the 1900 Marion County census. I have not been able to find anything on any siblings of John Cooper, the father. I keep thinking that sometime there will be someone with a connection. You are about the first I have seen with Coopers from Tennessee. Could there possibly be a connection?
