2004 McMillian Family reunion in Kentucky
Mark Black 3/12/04
I am searching for the Cooper family who married several of the McMillian family members: David Cooper married Margaret McMillian, William Cooper who married Martha McMillian, Martha Cooper who married James McMillian. I believe that these Cooper's were siblings and the children of James and Mary Cooper.They also had 5 daughters Betsy Cooper (m. Aaron Lawson), Jane Cooper (m. Zadach Hawkins), margaret Cooper (m. Fallenash/Fornash) Nancy Cooper (m. James Fallenash) and Sally (m. John Owens).
David Cooper, Martha McMillian-Cooper and her sons James, John and William, Martha Cooper-McMillian, BEtsy Cooper-Lawsen, Jane Cooper-Hawkins, Nancy Fallenash/Fornash, and James Cooper all moved to Bartholomew or Orange/IN in the 1820's.
I descend from a James Cooper who appears in Bartholomew IN in the 1830 census and is between 40-50 years old.He married Jantha Mallonee, d. of Nancy Davis and Wm. Mallonee in Madison KY in 1803. James Cooper must have died before 1839 when Jantha Mallonee-Cooper married Esek Ross there in 1839.
I am wondering if my James Cooper is the son of James Cooper and Mary or perhaps the son of James and Mary's son William Cooper and Martha McMillian as both appear to have had a son named James.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
