I am looking for information on William and MaryAnn Cooper. In 1850 census their ages correspond with approx birth years of 1824 and 1822. They were listed in Snead's Ferry area of Onslow county. They also had a son John Henry age 1 listed. My great grandfather(ASA WILLIAM) was their son, and have not been able to trace anything on them. In 1870 census, Mary Cooper,8, was living with a Gurganus family, and William,11,was living with another Gurganus family. William was the right age as ASA WM. The Gurganus families were brothers and there also was a Gurganus sister named MaryAnn born March 1822. I have not been able to make the link, only be speculation. Any help would be appreciated. Mary Alice Cooper Albuquerque
