Hi,
I am researching the family of Benj. COOPER (s/o Benjamin COOPER
and Ferribee SANDERS - Quakers) and his wife Susanna Martha GIBSON (d/o
of Garrett GIBSON and Prudence Beals SUMNER - Quakers). The COOPER
family were in Baker Twp, Martin Co. IN from sometime before 1830 when
they were listed in the 1830 Federal Census until sometime after 1870
when they were last listed in the 1870 Federal Census. Sometime between
the 1870 Census of Baker Twp, Martin Co. IN and 21 Mar 1871 when Susanna
Martha died, they removed to Delaware Co. IN. Benj. COOPER died 09 Nov
1883 and they are both buried in the Rees Cemetery, Perry Twsp, Delaware
Co. IN.
I am trying to located information on their children. Here is
what I know so far.
Absalom COOPER born ? Married Susan HEDRICK 25 May 1837 Baker Twp.
Martin Co. IN
Elizabeth COOPER born ? Married William SIMMONS 09 May 1839 Baker Twp,
Martin Co. IN
Rosannah COOPER born ? Married Jonas SMITH 25 Jul 1827 Davies Co. IN
I am sure there must be other children but I do no know who they are.
Any help here?
I am very interested in Rosannah COOPER and Jonas SMITH. Seems
they moved back into Martin Co. By 1850 several of their children were
living with Benj. COOPER and his wife.
They were:
Benj. SMITH age 20
Amilia SMITH age 18
Susanna SMITH age 15
Malinda SMITH age 12
Casander SMITH (Male) age 10
Amanda SMITH age 8
Docia (Dorca) SMITH age 3
Any help with these families would be greatly appreciated.
