[or-roots] relations to?

[Dan M]

I got to meet Arlie only by email and he mailed me this file in 1998 or so.
  I think its been posted many times.
This is our Coopers.
I been so busy last few years out here on the high desert being a new age pioneer off grid, I got very slowed down in genealogy.
  I started a Matney forum on yahoo 1998, we have 110 members.
 I have 5 Cooper relations in private mail, I think is a true treasure to meet real family. Thats what its all about, finding real family to me.
  How ever, Walt was so very courteous to our visit, he also felt like real family. We had a few really great visits. I admire Walt and his efforts.

  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

    Well, Walt might.
    Dont fit the Matney's tho. 
    I have all but about 2 facts I need for those.
    I have met some Coopers who have that figured.
    Still missing the death place and dates on Walter Matney and Julia Ann ( Cooper ) Matney, never did find any thing there yet.
      I have those books too. I been collecting books many years.
    Just dont find what I am looking for.
