I found this on ancestry.com and was given by a great great grandson to Jacob Cooper. Jacob was first married to Sarah Stanfield. They had the following children... Hanna 1849-died before 1860 Robert 1850-died before 1860 Gerard 1852-1929 Samuel Then Jacob was married a second time to Elizabeth Ridgeway. They had the following children.... Sarah J. Cooper Mary F. (Maggie) 1860_? married to Joseph Whitlock I have a subscription to ancestry, but I think everyone can look at the lineages from families. When I got to the home page for ancestry.com, I typed the name of Hanna Cooper. When the page comes up showing information for her, I scrolled down to the bottom where it says ancestral files..or something like that. I click on that and a page comes up. I then scrolled to the bottom of the page and there is a place where you can add what the name of her father was. That will narrow down your Hanna Coopers.

I found Sarah Jane Kendall who was born 1856 and died in 1951. It says the father to Sarah was Jacob and the mother was Sarah Stanfield Cooper. Sarah is buried in the Crown Hill Cemetery.

I am looking for Henry Cook, he married Olive E Cummins in Champaign, Champaign, IL 10/3/1872; however, someone suggested I look over here as well as there are Cooks from this county as well. I do not know when he came to America as he was born in England 12/6/1846. I am looking as to when he came to America, his passage over here, the name of the ship, etc... I am also curious did he travel as a child or an adult did he come with family and where did he live before he married Olive. If anyone may know this info I would be greatly appreciative. Thank You Natasha
