Howdy, I am trying to research my Cooper family and have hit a few "snags" (more like brick walls) along the way. My grandfather, Lester Caswell Cooper, was born near Strong City, Roger Mills Co, OK Terr., in 1907. My great grandfather, Russell Murray Cooper, was born in Bailey, OK Ind. Terr. (present day Garvin Co, OK) in 1881. My gg grandfather, Peter Caswell Cooper, was probably born in Bradshaw Twsp, Greene Co, AR, in 1846. My ggg grandfather, James Cooper, according to census info was born in NC about 1787. My Cooper family is found in the 1850 Bradshaw Twsp, Greene Co, AR census: 1850 Bradshaw Township, Greene Co, AR Census James Cooper.........63..m...farmer.....$0.....NC...[1787] Catharine Cooper.....42..f...keephouse.........TN...[1808] John Cooper..........14..m.....................TN...[1836] Martha Cooper........17..f.....................TN...[1833] James Cooper.........12..f.....................TN...[1838] Letha Cooper.........11..f.....................TN...[1839] Mary Cooper..........9...f.....................TN...[1841] Mary Frances Cooper Peter Cooper.........3...m.....................AR...[1847] Peter Caswell Cooper Samuel B.
