Mel ,

Our earliest Cooper is Henry Cooper ( 1760/4 to 183x) who arrives in Rowan county NC in by 1793 & marries Rebecca Hollis in 1795 , and then they moved to Rutherford County TN in 1816 with 5 children ( James , Hollis , Nan , Micajah, & Elizabeth)

Our Taylors arrive in VA ( mid 17th Century) , move to Old Tryon county NC by 1773, & then to Marion county MO in 1821,

Regards, Josh Taylor

Danielle ,

1. Do you have any dates  and counties for each of these three: "James c. Cooper born 1837 son of James c. Cooper Sr. his father was Cornelius Cooper born in NC' ?

 

2. Quite a gap between "John Cooper 1490 hants England" and the above .. is there a typo in the date ?

 

I was in Wilmington DE to do some research this week . A  James Cooper ( abt 1730 - 1787) of MD and DE   may be the father of our Henry, but no real definitive link proven as yet.
