Susan Cooper, Stewart County Georgia, 1837

I think that the father of Susan Cooper b. ca 1816-1820 GA m. 5 Jan 1837 in Stewart Co., GA to Richard Mathias b. ca 1798 GA is William Cooper b. ca 1790 of 1830 Randolph Co., GA and 1840 Stewart Co., GA because:
1) A marriage was in the home county of the bride.
2) William had a daughter of age to be Susan on his 1830 census and not on his 1840 census.
3) Both William Cooper and Richard Mathias were in Randolph Co., GA in 1830 and in Stewart Co., GA in 1840; Stewart Co. was formed 1830 from Randolph Co. Also, it is supported by the 1830 census and 1840 census that these two families were living in the same general neighborhood.
4) No other Cooper family was located that satisfied the above criteria.
