    1. [GADODGE] 1900 Dodge County Census/ also Cooper/Sapp/Grantham/Miller info
    2. I have access to the 1900 Dodge Co census but not the index. I am trying to locate Needham Sapp on the 1900 census. I am browsing the census but am afraid I might have missed his name. He is in Eddins on the 1920 census and in ED 42 on 1880 census. I did not find him in Eddins on 1900 census. Also I am looking for the children of Andrew Grantham and Sarah Cooper Grantham. Sarah died in 1892. So far I have found 4 living with other relatives in 1900 Dodge. Maggie and Walter are living with grandfather Madison Cooper and wife Jane Miller Cooper. 2 others Ida and a son with name starting with J [looks like Jimmie] are living with Sarah's sister and brother in law Martin Miller and Julia Cooper Miller. They are all in Eddins ED 31 (image 18) p 9B. There are 3 other children that I know of : Mary W Grantham (1882) and Fred C Grantham and J H Grantham (b ca 1880). There may be even more children. Needham Sapp was married to Ida Cooper, sister of Sarah Cooper Grantham. Needham is married to an Emma by 1920. I don't know when wife Ida died. There is also another family that the children of Sarah and Andrew Grantham may be living with: Madison Haynes Cooper [b 1863] and wife Selia Darcey This is the general picture of the family: James Madison Cooper was born Feb 1836 in Jasper Co, GA and died 1922 in Odessa, Pasco Co, FL He was the son of Joel Madison Cooper and Sarah Trammell. James Madison Cooper [1836-1922] had at least 4 [possibly 5] siblings: 1] Marion [male] Cooper b 1831; son of Joel Cooper and 1st wife Disedmond Turner; 2] Emily Cooper Catlett b 1834; 3] Mary Jane Cooper Haynes b 1838; 4] Robert Cooper b 1839/1840 [Emily, James Madison, Mary Jane, and Robert were all children of Joel Cooper and Sarah Trammell] 5] and possible unknown Cooper born ca 1870 in Pulaski to Joel Cooper's 3rd wife Mrs Sarah Rogers Lee Cooper Joel Madison Cooper [1810 SC - 1876 GA] had nickname "Wiley" James Madison Cooper [1836-1922] married # 1 Malinda Haynes in 1856 in Whitfield Co, GA. Malinda was the daughter of Smith W Haynes and Martha Towler. Malinda was born ca 1830 in Talbot Co, GA and died ca 1863 in GA. He married #2 Jane Miller 22 Nov 1868 in Pulaski Co, GA Children of James Madison Cooper and Malinda Haynes are: 1] Julia Cooper b 1857 GA married Martin Miller 2] Sarah Cooper b 1859 GA married Andrew Grantham b ca 1852.* 3] Ida Cooper b 1861 Ga married Needham Sapp 4] Madison Haynes Cooper b 1863 married Selia Darcey The Known children of Andrew Grantham and Sarah Cooper are: 1. J H Grantham b 1880 Pulaski Co GA 2. Mary Walton Grantham b 1882 GA married Madison Tolar Haynes Sep 1900 in Volusia Co, FL 3. Walter W Grantham b Apr 1883 GA married Janie Moses 6 Apr 1908 in Volusia Co, FL 4. Ida Grantham b Mar 1886 GA married G L McClellan 18 July 1904 in Volusia Co, FL 5. J {Jimmie ?} Grantham b July 1887 GA 6. Maggie Grantham b Nov 1889 GA 7. Fred C Grantham b GA [ca 1881-86] married Olive I Douglas 4 Dec 1904 in Volusia Co, FL Since the children of Andrew Grantham were in Dodge for the 1900 census and were marrying in Volusia Co, FL by Sep 1900 I am assuming that they went to FL soon after the census with relatives. The children's grandfather James Madison Cooper died in FL in 1922 so perhaps they went to Florida with him and other family members. There is an Andrew Grantham on the 1900 census of Dodge Co, GA but it is not the right age for the Andrew Grantham that married Sarah Cooper. Of course, census dates are often in error. If this is the right Andrew Grantham, I do not know why his children are not living with him. Perhaps he couldn't take care of them for some reason.
