Lee and Andrew Cooper of South Carolina born 1770s brought
their families to Chambers County Alabama, former Creek Indian Lands, before 1850.

The Lees are buried at the Old Harmony Baptist Church
cemetery and the graves of the Coopers are not yet found.
Descendant Susie Mae
Cooper Brooks is buried at Greenwood Cemetery in Montgomery Alabama. Her descendant Charlie Brooks is buried at Brookside Memorial in
Millbrook, Alabama.
*
Charner P Cooper, son of Andrew, married Sarah F Lee,
daughter of Elijah and their son Levi Benjamin Cooper married Sarah Elizabeth Carter, a daughter of Thomas
Randolph Carter and Mary Josephine Hereford of Virginia. The grave of TRC born 1820 was
found in Hope Hull, Montgomery, Alabama by his first wife, Lacy Jane Bozeman.
*
The
Bozemans came from South Carolina and NC 1700s moving into Alabama as
some of the Indian Tribes moved west in the early 1800s. Lacy's father
Jesse's headstone shows that he was born 1793.
*
Thomas
Carter was the son of John Wise Carter who some say was
buried in Talladega Alabama. John was born 1792 South Carolina, the son of Elizabeth Wise and
Captain John Carter who may have served in the War of 1812 and the American Revolution.
*
Susie Mae Cooper's husband was James
Edgar Brooks Sr and their son was James Jr. The parents of James came from Tennessee with the railroad and they resided
downtown Montgomery Alabama near the Union
Station. They were Annie
Clark Ballard and John Brooks, all buried at Greenwood. John's
father was also named John, born in Pennsylvania to Dutch parents.
He was found in the 1860 census of Giles TN, the same year he met and married Roxanna
Permilia Smith.note
*
The Smith families connect to a Captain John Smith of
Virginia.
*
The Ballards were previously in the Carolinas, as were the
Bond, and Ward families.
*
James
Edgar Brooks Jr married Mary Ella Thornton and had a son named Charles in
Montgomery Alabama.
*
Mary Ella's parents were Bessie
Mae Hood and Milton Elijah Thornton and they are buried in Slapout/ Holtville, in
Elmore County AL at the Cain's Chapel Cemetery near many other
family members.
*
Elijah's parents came from Georgia, Mary Angeline
Partridge and George Thornton;
we found their graves behind an old primitive Baptist Church in Central, Elmore, AL
on the way to the Lake.
*
Bessie's parents were Ella
Olivia Baxley and Allen Wesley Hood but his headstone has an L W on it.
His parents are hard to trace and prove. Hers were
James and Marnda Baxley of Cold Spring, Elmore, AL and thus begins the brick wall in our research.
*
Charles Brooks married Kathy Cochran, daughter of Anne Carter
and Frankie Cochran.
*
Anne Carter was the daughter of Alice
Emma McClain and Cecil
Earl Fenn Carter.
*
Frankie
Cochran was born in Kansas a son of Luella
