Nancy Patterson, born 1831 in Christmasville,Tenn--moved to Leon Co,Texas
This lady is my great great grandmother. She moved with her father Arthur Patterson {born 1791 in North Carolina}from Tennessee to Leon County,Texas. About a year before her father's death in Jan, 1850, she married my great,great grandfather Mark S. Cooper {born 1826 in Tennessee}
The marriage took place in Leon Co in 1849.
My great grandfather Nathan Cooper was born in April, 1854.
I've recently visited his grave and those of his children buried nearby.
I want to know more about both Nancy and Mark. I can find no death dates for either of them. Apparently Nathan was their only surviving child. Nancy had two other husbands after Mark Cooper. She seemed to pick one up about every ten years or so. I don't know if the data is accurate but both of the suitors following her first marriage were supposed to be from Christmasville,TN. Perhaps some of them who kept up with her until she was once more available?
I don't know if grandpa Mark died or if there was perhaps a divorce.
Nancy's second husband was James DeMoss.They wed in Lafayette Co, Arkansas on Dec 12, 1862.
Her third and presumably last husband was John Seapol.They married in Austin County, Texas on May 4, 1873.
They had one son named Emme, born about 1874 in Austin Co.
Any more information concerning Nancy Patterson or Mark S. Cooper would be welcomed.
