No, This is not my line. The "cooper" is I used to denote his trade rather than a part of his name. My Joseph Williams moved from Duplin/Sampson County, NC to Anson Co., NC right on the SC border ca 1801 as he was on the Sampson Co. 1800 census and was in Anson County in 1801. He was a Primitive Baptist elder (preacher.) Thanks for your efforts. I don't have any of his descendants found in SC. Dorothy White
