• Notes

  John Cooper was a soldier in the War of 1812; having joined Capt. Lewis Hale's company of Virginia veterans, and served from Sep. 1812 to Mar. 1813. After the close of the War, he returned to Maryland,but a short time later started south in search of his brother, George. He went through Virginia, and finally into Grayson County, where he gave up the search. He met and married Hester Sage, a daughter of James Sage, a Revolutionary War soldier. Soon after their marriage, they headed West, passing through Cumberland Gap. They remained for a few years at Cumberland Falls, Cumberland River, in Whitley County, KY. It was there where Joseph A. Cooper, the oldest son, was born. In a few years John Cooper, with his family, moved southward across the Cumberland Mountains into Tennessee, and located on a farm in Campbell County, where he remained until he died. The Cooper's View Cemetery is located where the Cooper's View Church, built by Lindsay Cooper, was located.
