[or-roots] relations to?

[Dan M]

This is old info, but yes, I also did collect it back a while, Arlie ret, dont know if he passed, Walt would know.
  I have a couple letters from Arlie with what he had 1999.
Our Cooper came from England - Interesting story.
  John Cooper had relationship with indentured servant, had 3 guys on the hook she did, having kids with them got her in trouble with the judge, John claimed one of the kids, they eventually got married, the kid, born out of wedlock got the Cooper name, out of it, John mysterisly died very shortly and she ends up with the other guy she had been seeing, Thomas, has 10 more kids and has a happy life and so began our line of Cooper from Gabriel Brayfield .
  I was reading this story on the net after another Cooper relation told it to me. It is a lot longer than my brief. But all our Cooper line is English from those 2, John and Susana.

  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.
