[NOTE: It appears to me, Kathy, that the following are a researcher's notes and not necessarily part of the will. I do see Lula Reed Boss's name scattered throughout this book. So, I'm guessing, that these may originally be part of her research notes.] Lieut. Appollos Cooper married Mary Reed, sister of William and James Reed. The heirs of Lieut. Cooper were awarded 2666 2/3 acres of land (Land Office Military Warrant No. 4338). The balance of pay due Lieut. Cooper after his death, was paid to Col. Levin Powell, of Loudoun county, Virginia, to be given to Cooper's heirs. Mary (Reed) Cooper was the daughter of Major Jacob Reed and his wife, Rebecca (Claypoole), of Loudoun county, Virginia.
