They were in taken in the same Census 1850 at two places, during that time frame that is some time done. This is the same son and Mother Susan T. Cooper!!! the time frame was that they may have been visiting other family that happened back then. She lived with her Step mother Elizabeth and brother Harmon in Mine Creek. They were the same woman and she married Issac Perkins and then Nathan Yarborough. Was Susan T. (Bishop) Cooper living in Virginia in the 1830 Census, they are living in Brunswick Co., VA. She was married in Hardeman Co., TN in 1833 and then her son was born in 1834. I know that the husband is William D. Cooper and they married Hardeman Co., TN in 1833 and that the son was born in John James Cooper was born the falling year 1834. I am trying to find the Husband death. He may have died at least a year before the Susan T. Cooper marriage. So I have been looking for how the families traveled doing those time frames. Where the women stayed in as the area of Union Co. Arkansas was being clear. Robert Black was in charge of this area at one time. He family stay in the area of Union Parish, LA. But during that time frame where did the Bishop and Cooper lines stay. Also I am not sure of Susan T. parents I have seen the name as Asa Bishop too. The Surnames for us is Black, Bishop, Cooper, Culpepper, Newsom, Mitcham Rose -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Betty Clingman" <bj213@bellsouth.net> To: <TNHARDEM-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2003 5:22 PM Subject: [TNHARDEM] Re: Bishop family in Hardeman Co., TN and Hempstead Co., AR > To Rose and others researching Susan T.
