I'm sorry, Ruth, but there's only the initial present in the text. If you're looking for Ashley COOPER, I would strongly recommend that you look in the area of Charleston (Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Berkeley Co./Dist.) for that name. Two large rivers that meet at the Atlantic to form the peninsula for Charleston, SC, are named the Ashley and the COOPER Rivers for Lord Proprietors of the Colony of Carolina. The names followed through families and, as you know, all those families back then intermarried over and over again! There have been several men named Ashley COOPER, just like good old Ashley WILKES in Margaret Mitchell's GWTW. (I tell the middle schoolers that Ashley was a man's name originally, and they have fits!). I have been told that my COOPER line in Spartanburg Dist., SC, somehow ties into this COOPER of the Lord Proprietor that the COOPER River is named. Haven't found that to be true yet! Hope this is of some help! Godspeed... Dolores M.
