Beth and Shirley, Curious to know if you have a connection between Ambrose and Iles Cooper? I'm doing some work on these families for my cousin in VA and have got a lot back to a point, but can't get them connected and I can just 'smell' that they probably are... Do you know if there's any early connections between the "Snow Creek" Coopers and the "Callaway" Coopers?
