Linda, My source for my information regarding Sarshell Cooper and his parentage is a Kenneth Lakey. He stated his source as a Shirley Simpson who stated her source of information was a bible in the possession of a Oree Cooper. Another source was a Mrs. Allean Lakey Mize. I would love to have some clarification of my information. Anything you have would be greatly appreciated. Teri C.
