Pamela, Thank you for the information you posted. Could you please provide a reference for the Spillman history. If possible, would you please check for any other references to Job Cooper. Fredrick was married to Margaret Cooper in Halifax, VA, 1782. In 1795 he marries Sarah Ledford Spurgin, Rowan County, N.C. It would be interesting to try to determine if Job was a relative of Margaret. Thanks again, Elaine
