She met Jones Green Upchurch and eloped and mrd, went to tell her father goodby and they were on there way to TN. Her father was irate and told her hoped he would never see her again and the tragedy of it was he didnt. Eliz and Jones end up in Henry Co. TN then to Cape Girardeau Co. MO. After 25 yrs of research, all effort to connect Eliz with any other Cooper in NC have been fruitless. Does any one have info that might tell me more about Eliz. Cooper."
