<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>More - The regiment was organized in MO but many
enlistments took place in CO and then the enlistees were sent to MO. In fact,
the 2nd fought against Price and another gr grandfather (on my dad's maternal
side) was with Price, so James and Charles Jessup were probably fighting each
other.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Nathaniel and Sophia Cowles Cooper were married in
Pultneyville, NY in 1835. My gr grfather, DeWitt H. was b 1836 in PA. James was
b 1839 in Frankfort, KY. By 1841 the family was in Washington, Wash. Co., Iowa
where Nathaniel (or N.P. as he always signed everything) was the first
postmaster of Yantton. There were several more children born in Iowa. They
were here in the 1850 census and in Toolesboro, Louisa Co., Iowa in 1860
census. N.P. left the family in Nebraska and went to Pike's Peak abt 1861
then they settled near Ft. Collins, CO. N.P. died Apr. 1870 but the rest of the
family is in the 1870 census there. However, Sophia was listed by her nickname
Susan as head of household. James went to take care of the family after his
father's death and was named as FitzPatrick. I think someone else gave the
census taker the info, some of which was incorrect. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>In the meantime, DeWitt was in MT in 1870 working as a
sluice miner. He married there in 1868. By 1873 he was also in CO where my
grandfather was born. Next James and DeWitt with their families are found in
1880 in Jackson Co., Oregon. They went to Baker Co. abtr 1883, where my dad
was born in 1904. Sophia had a land patent in Baker Co. by 1885 and d
1893. James d in 1898. The rest of the family eventually ended up in
Portland, OR by 1906 where DeWitt d abt 1907.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
