Supposedly her parents are John Soper and Melvania Bullis. But I don't have solid proof yet. I want to get a birth or baptismal record first. Looking at pictures of my Mary Soper, she definately looks indian, now to find out how I can prove this. I would think being in proximity to your Soper's that they are definately of a relation, how is another story. My kids will be in school after next week so I'm hoping to make a trip up to Keeseville and look up some records. I'll be in touch. Nickie
