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</SPAN><FONT color=#9e8f7c> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
