Hi Cooper Listers! I am researching the Orr family in Christian/Livingston/Caldwell Co KY in the early 1800's. Our Jane Orr married a Cooper and here is my little bit of research trying to locate her. If anyone on the list can help set me straight on this Cooper family, I would appreciate it. It is apparent that something is not right, and I have perhaps mixed up some Coopers here. Otherwise, maybe my bit of research could help someone. Nancy Orr Erb Descendants of Tacy or Lacy Cooper Generation No. 1 1. TACY OR LACY1 COOPER died May 19, 1834 in Caldwell Co KY1. He married JANE ORR January 01, 1807 in Livingston Co, KY2, daughter of ALEXANDER ORR and MARTHA Notes for TACY OR LACY COOPER: There is some confusion about his name are these two people, or one with different spellings? In Alexander Orr's will of 1821, she is named as Jane Cooper, grandson named Alexander Cooper and Tacy Cooper is named as owing Alexander Orr money to be collected by grandson Alexander Cooper. Kentucky ORR Marriages: Lacey Cooper married Jane Orr January 1, 1807 (William Orr, assumed to be her brother, gave consent) assumed her age at marriage is 21, could be wrong looking at the 1810 census, if this is Jane, she would then be born bet 1794-1800, haven't seen the marriage abstract there is a strong possibility that Tacy/Lacy was married before also 1810 Caldwell Co KY Federal Census Tassy Cooper, 1male<10, 1male10-16, 1 male 16-26, 1 female 10-16 1820 Caldwell Co KY Federal Census Index pg 38 Lacy Cooper 1830 Caldwell Co KY Federal Census Index pg 180 Lacy Cooper 1835 Caldwell Co KY Pension Roll Tacey Cooper, Caldwell Co KY Midshipman, Pennsylvania Navy $108 Annual Allowance, $324 Amount Received Pension Started Mar 13, 1833, age 69 (born 1764?)
