[or-roots] relations to?

[Dan M]

This clipping Arlie sent to me, I have posted many times.
  You can use it to prove any connections to your people.
There were not that many people back then in the wagon train days.
This is our Cooper line.

  Very interesting attached article I found
  Trying to find connection to our Ruth………….Hmm……I  did find Jesse Jennings is our 
  family.  According to the book I have Lewis Jackson Cooper b. March 25.1869 Died 31, 1885. And son of Jacob C. Cooper and Melzena P. Spillman Cooper was out of Monmoth
  growing walnuts.  Now not at all sure this is out Ruth Cooper


  Clipping from The Sun-Enterprise paper- Monmouth , Oregon---In the 1800's there were two large Cooper families settling this area. The first ones to arrive were the Lewis and Mary C. Lindsay family. He was born in Shelby, Gallatin County, Kentucky. He and Mary ( who was called Polly ) were married in Fayette, Kentucky. In 1852 they were living near Sheridan , Missouri when they left for Oregon. Their first winter was spent in Marion County Oregon.--In 1853 they moved to Polk County where they purchased 320 acres west of Independence. That area is now known as " Cooper's Hollow ". Lewis Cooper died in 1876 on the family farm. HIs first wife ( and the mother of his children ) died in 1853. The children were; James Lindsay Cooper who married Hester Ann Moxley; Harbin M. Cooper who married Ann Jane Stuart ( Stewart ); Julia Ann Cooper who married Walter J. Matney; Artemissa Cooper who married Jesse R. Jennings; John Robert Cooper who married Lavilla Williams; and Martha Jane Cooper who married William Bailey Singleton. Lewis L. Cooper married Christina Jan Keifer, Sept. 1st, 1853. -- In 1874 John R. Cooper moved to Independence setting up a brick manufacturing plant. Many of the bricks in downtown Independence buildings came fom his brickyard. In 1882 he planted hops on part of his farm, which was located across the river in Marion County.--Other area families who are related to the Lewis Cooper Family by marriage are McVay; Roundtree; Mulkey; Moon; Hubbard; Phillip; and Shirely; Many members of this family moved to the Pullman area of Washington in the 1870's.---I wish to thank Arlie Holt for sending me this information---Dick Cooper
