To Dorothy who is working in IL. I have a William Cooper in Pope Co IL in 1833. He married Polly Towns that year. Mentioned in Randell Towns will. Son William Henry born in 1841. William Henry's mother, her sister and husband Horatio Rose probably went to TX about 1853. We lose track of William but have descendents of W.H. in Texas. William may have died in IL. Rumor is that he could have come from TN. Will share descendents if interested. Do you have any information on any other Coopers in Southern IL. Thanks for your consideration. George
