SAMUEL COOPER-LUCINDA HOFMAN are my GG grandparents. I have NO further information on their ancestors just speculations and assumptions. Sam and Lucinda migrated to Springport, Jackson Co. MI where they had their children. There is a Jacob COOPER living next door to them and he was born in PA as Sam states on all of his census. Lucinda's life is a mystery. She was born in OH and her parents in PA as well. I found the information below on the website (Stark Probate website for marriages: http://www.probate.co.stark.oh.us/search/search.html ) and it is also published and I have a copy of the page. BUT ... Since there is a case number .. Would or Could there be ANY further details listed on the Case file? IF so, I think that I must contact the library and have them send me the info, correct? Thanks for any help that you can share.

I don't know if this information will help anyone, but here goes. John Hoffman (Mt Joy, Lancaster Co area mid=1750s married a Catharina unk - she is Mother Hoffman to us). Mother Hoffman came sometime after 1821 to Greensburg, Stark now Summit Co with her son Jacob Hoffman (he b 27 Dec 1774-he d abt 1825-1830, he buried Kleinfelter Cem, Greensburg, then Stark now Summit Co OH). Mother Hoffman also died about this time and is also buried in Greensburg.
