It does appear this is the same Cooper line I've been tracing for several years.
I had no knowledge of Jake Ballard Cooper, but do show that H. Thomas Cooper was born about 1873 and that his parents were Hiram Cooper and wife Margaret E. Holt.
He, Hiram Cooper, was born about 1847 probably in Henry or Clayton County, Georgia.
His parents were James D. Cooper and wife Lucinda (Sims) Cooper.
James D. Cooper was born about 1819 in GA. and married Lucinda Sims on 19 February 1835 in Henry County, Georgia.
Information on their twelve children is incomplete, butthere is no doubt of there being twelve of them, all born in Georgia.
I will be happy to share the information I've compiled thus far if you are interested.
I also do have a well documented history of this Sims line in America.Lucinda Sims was born about 1811 in Laurens County, South Carolina to Hiram & Mary (Abercrombie) Sims.
Hiram & Mary (Abercrombie) Sims are my proven ggg grandparents.
It would be my pleasure to compare notes with you.Perhaps we could further complete the Cooper family history.
