Hi - I see you posted this a while ago. I show William Sopher Married Rosabelle D. Cochran and had children Frances who married Lucius E. Eakin or Akin (children Ruth, William, Rose, Doris, Ethel, Lillian, Joanne, Margaret and Judith), and Willard who married Erla Surrena (no additional info). William was the son of Samuel Sopher b. 1833 and Salena Frances Weston. Samuel was the son of Jonathan Sopher and Charity Simpson, and the brother to my Isaac. I have not been able to track down Jonathan prior to his marriage and the tax records in NJ. There were a lot of Sophers in both the Newark and Long Island area. Some people tell me that he was from the area around Atlantic City NJ, but I have not been able to find supporting evidence.
