To add to your Zopher identifications: Zopher Johnson, b. 1858 mar. Lydia Mary Benson and Mary Emma Boswell was the son of Dr. John Henderson Johnson, 1829-1919 and Sarah Jane Graham Zopher Johnson who mar. Phoebe Brown Cooper was Zopher Johnson, Jr. the son of Zopher Johnson, Sr. who was b. 1754 in Delaware River, PA and d. 1839, Greene Co., TN. Phoebe was the dau. of Christopher C. Cooper(b. 1760-1770) and Jane Brown. The Zopher Johnson who mar. Sarah Ann Boster was Zopher Alexander Johnson, son of Christopher Cooper Johnson and Katherine Kerbaugh. What most researchers do not have is a nugget I received from Stevie Hughes in 2002. Zopher Johnson, Sr. was the son of "Zopher Johnson, the Elder." He is listed in the 1730 Tax List of Philadelphia Co., PA, with a notation "settled ten years." In 1782 he is in Frederick Co., VA. He died in Greene Co., TN in 1809.
