Hi, I'm looking for my great-great grandfather's family. His name was William Cooper and he moved to Clermont County from Hamilton County sometime between 1844 and 1862. I would like to find out where he lived down there (I'm from Covington, Oh.; a little north of Dayton) so I can drive down and see it. Like many of you I have heard the story of Morgan's Raiders and I'd like to see the barn where they all hid to avoid him. I'd also like to find out about where his parents were from. Here's all the information I have on him. It comes from his bible. William Cooper born August 27, 1820 (Hamilton County?) Married Lucinda Harris July 2, 1844, died Dec. 12, 1892 in Montgomery County, OH. His siblings were: Samuel, Jarrett, Elin (Ellen?) who married a Jim McGuire and Lizzie who married Jim Wallice (Wallace?) No dates given . William's parents were Jesse Cooper and Dorcas (last name unknown). I don't know any more about them. Children of William Cooper and Lucinda Harris: 1. Jessie Cooper b. April 29, 1845 m. Leide Dumphard, May 1867 2. Samuel Cooper b. Oct. 6, 1846 d. May 6, 1847 3. Sarah Cooper b. Jan.23, 1847 (this is impossible, but it's what the bible says.) d. May 12, 1868 4. Henry Cooper b. Dec. 20, 1849 m. Lizzie Border Dec. 1, 1881 d.? buried in Dayton Had son Charles who died in Dayton in 1971. *5. Laura Cooper b. Sept. 30, 1851 m. Frederick Whiting Jan. 1, 1868 in Clermont Cty. d.

May 19, 1860 d. June 6, 1862 9. Dora Jane Cooper b. May 19, 1864 m. Benjamin Bookwalter March 15, 1881 By this time the Coopers had moved to Montgomery County. They had a daughter Carrie. Carrie married Burtis Getter. William Cooper died at Dora's house near New Lebanon, Ohio. 10. Flora Belle Cooper b. December, 1866. m. Nathaniel Krauth Reich June 9 , 1891 They had 1 child, Earl Krauth Reich, my grandfather * This info comes from the Montgomery County GenWeb site. It was posted by Teresa Whiting Laura Cooper and Fredrick Whiting had 5 children: 1. Lucinda b. April 1, 1868 New Lebanon (Montgomery County) m. George Stouder in Dayton, Jan. 31, 1891 d. Dec. 3, 1937 in Covington, OH. They had a daughter Elizabeth. 2. Hiram b. Nov. 1871 Wayne Twp. Clermont County 3. Perry b. ca. 1876 Dayton M. Carrie ca. 1900 in Dayton. 4. Calvin b.

With all of these children, there must be some descendents somewhere who can help me. I'm willing to share any info I have - although most of it's listed here. Sharon Reich Schwartz
