Hawk, Cooper, Cox, Favors in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Michigan
I received some obituaries, death certificates and notes of my family history from my aunt.These peoples racial makeups are very diverse:White, Indian, Mulatto, Black, and unknown.
I apologize in advance for all the uncertainty...but this is all I have to work with...
I am currently looking for information on any of the following people:
Surname HAWK
Zack(Zach,Zachariah, Zachary, Isaak, or Isaac)HAWK
Phyliss (Philiss, Felia) HAWK
Zula (Zela, Lula) HAWK
Eva HAWK or COOPER
Charlie HAWK or COOPER
Elliot (Eli, Alex) COOPER
Will COOPER
Sally COX
Annie COX
Joe COX
Fannie (Fanny) COOPER
Fannie FAVORS
Fannie MARTIN
Savannah, Creasey, Minnie COOPER
Other Surnames: WASHINGTON, WILLIAMS, MARTIN, FERROW, MARSHALL
The best I can make of these relations are:
John Noah Cooper born June 17, 1892 is the son of Elliot Cooper and Phyliss Hawk .However, John had many half siblings.It is assumed that both Elliot and Phyliss were possibly married before.One half sister of John Noah was born Fannie Cooper.However, Fannie's parents are listed as Mr. and Mrs. Alex Cooper on her obiturary.Fannie married Sam Favors and had Savannah, Creasey, and Minnie.
Elliot or Alex Cooper married either Sally or Annie Cox.It is noted that Sally Cox was the second wife of Alex Cooper.
In a 1920 census record, Alex Cooper is found living with the following in Calhoun county Georgia.
Alex Cooper farmer age 65 head Mulatto born in Georgia father and mother born in South Carolina.
Annie Cox Cooper age 40 wife Mulatto born in Georgia father and mother born in South Carolina.
Will Cooper age 18 laborer grandson Black born in Georgia parents born in Georgia.
Cresie (Creasey, Cresie, Creesy) Martin age 13 granddaughter Black
Minnie Martin age 11 granddaughter Black
?Joe Coxage 7 male Black brother in law
?Clarise (maybe Clarense) Williams age 6 nephew male Black
In my notes, Fannie possibly had a son named Martin...
However, note the surname MARTIN next to Cresie and Minnie.
Also, John Cooper married Dannie Cooper (they had they same last name!)So, many of my aunt's recollections could be confusing the two Cooper sides of the family.
COOPER and GREEN fall on that side...
Emoline, Jesse, Violet (Viola) are names on the other side of the Cooper line.
