Sherry, You wrote: Ed, I don't know about the spelling, I thought it was Alcorn but I don't think I've ever seen it in print (my mom pronounces it Allcorn though) -- but it is right outside of Greenup. I can't say much more than that but I replied because I have never heard anyone EVER mention it besides my mom and her siblings. They all grew up there. Every year the area has a celebration called "Allcorn(?) Days". I think it's like a "Founder's Day" or a community reunion type celebration. I've been trying to get my mom to go for years just so I could see it. I know there are a bunch of Sizemore cousins still in the area. Sherry Campbell Sherry, I found your response interesting as I to have the Sizemore name in my research. It comes from my grand mothers side though, not the Coopers. She was a Blevins, Her family came from Ashe County, N.C. and were related through "Old Ned Sizemore". Could you ask your mom if she ever heard of a John Wesley Cooper from Alcorn? Also a William, Thomas or Moses Cooper. I really appreciate it. Ed Cooper
