Nancy,
Sorry, I really haven't had a chance to do any genealogy for several months...
Do you have any dates on Joseph W. Cooper, I would be happy to look thru my Cooper material to see if I have anything on him.
I have recently heard from Gayle Ragland, do you know her? She is a descendant of my husb's Abraham Asberry's brother, Frances. I have her e-mail if you want it. Still don't know who Abraham's first wife was.
Keep in touch.

Hi Nancy,
I would like to find out if there is a Victoria Beech connected to Lawson and Lilah Lee Beech on your homepage.
Victoria Beech married William J. Gunter in Cheatham County, Tennessee on December 18, 1879. She was born: December 6, 1852 and died May 26, 1899.
I am searching for her parents names and siblings. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
I have a homepage that contains some of the information that I have on my extended family.
There are too many names to mention here. Most of them were from Cheatham, Davidson, Rutherford and Williamson Counties.
Oneofsky1's Home Page
Perhaps it might be useful to some who are searching these counties or surnames mentioned.
Thank you,
Dianne >>

Hi Nancy,

I have documentation on Meredith (1792 VA.-1870 IL.) and Ambrose Cooper (1796 VA.-1874 lL.). I have conflicting leads on their father. I have a Jonathon Cooper and a Dabney Cooper who are reportedly the father of these two boys .

I dont know if any Cooper's remained in VA.& TN. until further research. As of now, I can tell you that none of Meredith's or Ambroses children were named Joseph, but I dont know who may have remained in the area of your interest.

You may want to check out this URL http://209.140.72.162/cgi-bin/genealogy/kkdoqryf?-1+0+English
(I know it is long but I have retrieved some nice leads from here.

I will keep my eyes open for you and would appreciate hearing from you should you see a connection.
Best regards,
Carroll
