Our Cooper Family Entry

James Henry Cooper, the ninth child of James and Lucinda was born in Delaware Co. Ohio March 11, 1846 and came with his parents to Fountain Co, In. where he met and married on November 11, 1866, Nancy Jane Shoemaker who was born December 26, 1846 the daughter of Isaac Thomas and Catherine (Bever) Shoemaker. Some time around 1880 they removed to Kansas with his sister Joanna who had married, I assume her brother. This is part of why I added the Bever family History to this because the Bevers were very prominent in James and Lucinda’s family. I don't have a lot on this family but what I do have was sent to me a few years ago when Yvonne Hawley ran a query in our Montgomery magazine and she is a descendant of James Henry. They were the parents of six children that I know of. There is some discrepancy between her story and Grandpa Coopers. From what information they had one child Joette Cooper who was named for her Mother "Nancy Joetta" so I don't know which is right. Anyway James passed away October 16, 1883 in Gerard Kansas, and she passed away October 17, 1885. They were both laid to rest in Gerard, Cemetery in the same one that Joanna and George were buried and after having some research done on Joanna's family the belief of the people out there was that James Henry was Joanna's Father, so I did get this straightened out for them. Nancy's parents are buried in the same cemetery.
