One of my biggest brick walls is my adoptive dad's ancestor, Charles H. Cooper, b. abt 1800 in South Carolina. I know a lot about the family of his wife, Celia Selah SoRelle, but almost nothing about Charles. There should be information about him out there, but I can't find it. He died abt 1862 in Harrison County, Texas. Any suggestions or connections?
My Cooper family go's back to my 4th great grand father John cooper. he was born abt 1790 in New Jersey. I have been told I am related to James Fennimore Cooper. I would like to prove a actually family connection. At this point I don't know who John's parents were. John Married Ann Ewing Feb 20 1813 and in abt 1815 they mover to Butler, Ohio. I believe This family was part of the Quaker group in Burlington, New Jersey, and may have moved to Ohio with part of this group.
Norman Cooper was my maternal grandfather - although I barely know anything about him. He died october 1970, 2 months before I was born. He was living in Port Talbot, South Wales at the time of his death. He had been married to Marjorie Timms and they had 4 children, the youngest of which (marilyn) was my mother. I know he had quite a few siblings - but I have never been told of any real detail. Thought I'd try looking into it - thanks.
Searching for information on Gilbert Van Cooper, born in New Jersey around 1905
In the late 1920's he married Sarah Jane Thomas. The couple moved to St.Louis and I have located them in the 1930 census listing.
I believe I may have found him through the SS death index, but I want to confirm that I have the correct person. If it is the correct person, he had four siblings, three sisters and a brother. The were living in Ohio in 1920.
Any of the Coopers out there have a Gilbert Van in their tree?
Additional information to my previous post. I have confirmed the name of Gilbert Van Coopers father. Henry Van Haunton Cooper of Hawthorne, NJ. Mothers maiden name; Rose Fox
Any information on this line of Cooper's would be very much appreciated.
My Cooper family is well documented here in the state. My great grandmother was an Alice Beulah Cooper, b. 1855, who married H. DeVere Thompson. Her father was Isaac Cooper, a forty-niner, married to Caroline Armstrong, and was the son of Samuel and Eliza/Elizabeth Bartlett Cooper. Samuel was the son of Judge William Cooper and Elizabeth Fenimore, brother to the Author James Fenimore Cooper. Judge William Cooper lineage on the Cooper side went like this: He was the son of James Cooper and Hannah Hibbs, grandson of William and Mary (Groom) Cooper, great grandson of James Cooper, the emigrant, and his wife Hester.
The emigrant, James Cooper, was born in or about 1661 in Stratford upon Avon, England, to George and Elizabeth (Oldfield) Cooper... I can't really verify this connection, but from histories I read that he was the nephew to Anthony Ashley Cooper, the First Earl of Shaftsbury, who was the son of Sir John of Rockburne and Ann Ashley, Grandson of John and Martha/Margaret (Shutt) Cooper, Great grandson of Richard and June (Kingsmill) Cooper and the gr-gr-grandson of Esq. John and Alice Cooper.
I don't know of any DNA testing in my family, but from the chart on the Cooper family which is quit extensive on the descendants of James and Hester Cooper. I know that a couple of lines descended from them meander south, in the early 17 hundreds to first to Virgina and then to the Carolinas from Pennsylvania, and I understand thru the generation traveled west to Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. The chart was about from 1700 to the 1850's. So I'm pretty sure that several cousins fought on opposites side in the civil war.
There's a Cooper genealogy, compiled by a Wayne W. Wright, online associated with the James Fenimore Cooper Society. It has my line down to my grandfather, Frederick Oliver Thompson, and his brother, Oliver P. Thompson. This genealogy goes back to the original emigrant James Cooper who married Hester.... her last name may have been White, but I may be wrong.. Check it out. Later, Thom
