Hi yes this is my Peter Cooper. But his first son is Alvis not Arvis. Alvis was my grgrgrandfather. His son George W. was my gr grandfather and his son James was my grandfather. George and his wife Mary Polly Evans moved to Harlan Co KY. That is where my dad was born. Several people have said Peter's father was Thomas Cooper. I haven't seen any proof of it yet. I have a piece of paper a cousin sent me that was in the back of an old picture that says Peter's father was in the Rev War and was killed by his horse when he was old. I was told that story by a cousin in Indiana who grew up around my grandfather and great grandfather George Cooper. I can you a copy of the paper. I have a scanner. I have been working on this line a long time. Always come to a dead end. But several people are working on it now and finding different things. I have Milton Cooper's death certificate that says his mother was Clara Ridenour. I haven't checked to get any of the other children's death certificates yet. Well nice to hear from another cousin. I used to write to Milton's grandson who lived in southern Calf about 2 hours from me. He passed away though. He was a great grandson of Peter Coopers. Peter is my grgrgr grandfather. Milton was the youngest son so he was born way later. Well bye for now. Write back.
