↑ 1.01.1 General Samuel Cooper's Family: Fifth Generation [1].
From the home page: "Although General Cooper's contributions to history are everlasting, he is one of the least recognized and written about generals that served the South. This web page is dedicated to Adjutant and Inspector General Samuel Cooper [i.e., the father or Maria] who served both the United States of America and The Confederate States of America."
"One of the prettiest and best remembered weddings of the capital was when this universally loved girl [Mrs. Samuel Cooper's "young lady daughter, Maria"] married dashing Lieutenant Frank Wheaton, and Fitzhugh Lee, then of the slender rank, was best man."
