Note: The following is from the History of Oregon, Biographical, Vol. II Published in 1922:
Mr. COOPER was born in Lawrence county, Missouri, January 9, 1841, and
is a son of E. E. and Nancy (WANN) COOPER, natives of Kentucky. The
father was a Baptist minister and a son of Henry COOPER, who also
engaged in preaching the gospel. The family has ever been noted for
its loyalty and patriotism and Frederick COOPER, the great-grandfather
of James S. Cooper of this review, enlisted in 1777, when but
seventeen years of age, as a soldier in the Revolutionary war,
defending American interests at York Pennsylvania, under command of
Captain LART. His grandson, E. E. COOPER, removed to Missouri in
1839, taking up a homestead on Rock Prairie, near the present site of
Halltown, in Lawrence county. This he cleared and developed, also
continuing his ministerial labors, and remained a resident of the
state until 1863, when with ox team and wagon he crossed the plains to
Oregon, settling on a farm in Spring valley, Polk county. There he
again engaged in farming and in preaching the gospel until 1876, when
he removed to Salem, where he resided for two years and then took up
his abode upon a farm in West Salem. He there passed away on the 12th
of August, 1880, and the mother's demise occurred at Independence, May
30, 1891. They reared a family of twelve children, nine of whom were
born in Missouri.
