Bill: I tend to agree with you RE: Catherine Cooper. I had her birth as abt 1831 re the 1850/1860 Coffee County Census. Catherine was: age19 on 18 Oct 1850; and age 28 on 3 Sep 1860. If the census is anywhere near right, she was probably born after Sep 3 and before 18 Oct in 1831. That's close enough for government work! ;-) Shirley P.S.
