Hi List, This is my first posting to this list in a long, long time. I'm hoping someone can help me. First of all does anyone know where I can find the 1850 Census for this county on line? I am searching for the parents of my Gr Grandad John Wesley Cooper born in 1849/1850 in Magoffin county. On his death Cert. it states his father as an unknown Cooper from KY and his mother as an unknown Adams from Magoffin County. I recently did a 25 marker on the DNA, I had no Cooper hits but 3 direct hits with people with the last names Stanely, Raines and Morrow. If anyone has any of these people with a Cooper marriage or can be any help it will be greatly appreciated Ed Cooper
Ed: I looked at the 1850. There are no Coopers in Menifee County (according to the indexing by Ancestry.com). There is a John Cooper in Morgan County born 1848 to Thomas and Mary Cooper, both born KY. John has a younger brother, David, age 2 months in the census. It could be him, but might not be either. Let me know. Constance
