Wow Joyce, I'll have to go look at that! I've just started looking at this branch of the family and found that Diane was doing the same. I've not looked at this listing yet, I hope its the John I'm looking for.

Is he the one who was born abt 1815 in Maryland, according to the 1860 census and listed with his wife Letha? Does anyone have an idea as to his parents? Cunningham Sample Cooper was in Gallia county in the 1820's and I wonder if he could be a son of C. S. Cooper. C. S. Cooper had a son b. 1813 that we have no record on. Anyone have any ideas?

Both of us are looking into this family (that is if it is the John as in John & Aletha Cooper, I have the will of John C. Cooper)
