My reason for researching this family is regarding my great aunt Mary Sue Dougherty Cooper Clark's first husband, Ferd Cooper. Fernando "Ferd" Cooper is a son of Thomas J. Cooper. This family was originally from Boonslick Twp. in Howard County. Moved to Fayette and then to Higbee. Thomas J. Cooper (1862-1943) was the son of John A. Cooper (1833-1871) and Arminta ?Chandler (1833-1887). John A. was the son of Sarshell Cooper (1805-1879) and Elizabeth C. Leakey (1818-1888). Sarshell was the son of Col. Benjamin Cooper (1775-?) and Anne Fullerton (1775-?). Teri C. >>
