Hi,
We tested a male Houston from Christopher's line. Thanks anyway! Below is what I have on the line, which is different from Gen. Sam Houston's (we tested his, too). Good luck in your research.

Notes for HENRY LABON COOPER:
Henry was the son of William (?) Cooper, an Indian trader who lived among the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Cherokee. He married Molly Houston. One of the first mentions of him in historical records is from a tabulation of English settlers in the Tombigbee district of Spanish Mobile in 1781, where he appears with his brother or father William. He is apparently the same as Henry Labon Cooper, also mentioned in the same documents. Labon is either an old spelling for Laban, Jacob's father-in-law and the father of Rachel and Leah or a French surname (La Bon). From 1787 to 1792 Henry Cooper is found in Spanish censuses in the Second and Sandy Creek area of Natchez District with relatives William, Samuel and James, also a son by the name Henry. This became the Tri-state Mussel Shoals area between Corinth, Miss., Florence, Ala. and Waynesboro, Tenn. It is interesting that the Coopers seemed to choose ambiguous areas on state lines to settle; another such area favored by them was the Chattanooga area, and yet another was the Little South Fork area in Tenn./Ky. Before this he lived in Bute Co. and Caswell Co., N.C. where he was overseer of roads and a wheelwright. Late in life he moved to Wayne Co., Ky. where he patented 80 acres on Buffalo Creek.

A sample court record is as follows: Bute County, N.C. Minutes of the Court of Please and Quarter Sessions 1767-1779. Henry Cooper is appointed Overseer of the road from the road near Simm's Ford to Port Ridge, and Ordered that he keep the same in repair with the hands usually working thereon. In 1789, a John Lett was apprenticed to Henry Cooper in Wake Co. "to learn occupation of wheelright until age 21."

From Kinseeker Surname Site on Cooper http://members.aol.com/kinseeker6/
A Henry Cooper married Mary (Molly) Huston, daughter of Robert Huston.

A Henry Cooper married a Molly Blackman in Bute Co., N.C. Oct. 3, 1770. Could Molly Houston have married a Blackman first and this was her second marriage?


More About HENRY LABON COOPER:

Fact: 1769, Bought land from Christopher Edwards in Bute Co., N.C., also from Joseph Bishop, Aug. 15, 1777; was appointed overseer of roads (1777) and apprentice master (wheelwright); in 1771 he gave an oath in Bute Co.

Notes for HOUSTON COOPER:
A Henry Cooper is listed in Davidson Co., Tenn. Register of Deeds 1798-1802 Vol. E (A-G) I: he was a resident of Sumner Co. and bought 640 acres on the west side of the Harpeth River at the mouth of the South Harpeth from John Nichols. Henry's granddaughter Delitha Cooper later married Wilson Nichols. Henry paid John Nichols $900 cash; the deed included "all advantages, ways, water courses, mines and minerals." This is thought to be the site of his eldest son (William?) Houston Cooper's later plantation on the Harpeth.
A William Cooper married a Mary Moore in Grainger Co., Tenn., Mar. 16, 1801.

ii. CAPT. JOHN COOPER, b. Abt. 1771, Northern Mississippi Territory (?), or N.C.; d. Abt. 1839, Perry Co., Tenn. (?)1; m. NANCY ANN PILES; b. Abt. 1786, Va., N.C. or Tenn. or Ky..

Notes for CAPT. JOHN COOPER:
According to family tradition John Cooper was a captain of the Choctaw Indians. He lived in Perry, Davidson and Lincoln Co., Tenn. He also lived on Knappa Creek, Miss. (in 1831), on the north side. In 1836, he lived in Perry County on the west side of the Buffalo River near Lindon in Tennessee. Apparently his family went over the Trail of Tears several times. --Pamela Kahler okiemike@ipa.net
"The following is an account of the Choctaw Indian Records in Washington, D.C." (from an article in Ohoyohoma, a publication by the Ohohohoma Club at McAlester, Oklahoma and probably written by two sisters, Juanita and Jewel Nichols): General John Cooper was born in northern Mississippi in 1771. He was a Choctaw Indian. When he was a very young man he migrated with his family into Maury County, Tenn. He served in the American Army for several years, but here is no record of how he earned the title of General. He was the father of three children, two girls and a boy. He was known as a man who cultivated his land, raising food for his family and livestock.
He was suprised and shocked when the soldiers came in midwinter, January of 1836, and commanded an immediate removal of his family to the Indian Territory. They had only time to gather and pack a few necessities which the soldiers allowed to be tied on their horses' and mules' backs. They rode away toward their new home leaving behind their house, a structure of four rooms, a verandah separating the house from the smokehouse. They also left six cribs of corn and other important foods for their survival.
When they arrived at the Mississippi River the ship or boats which they had been promised in writing were not there to take them across this very cold water. The soldiers, who were driving them had not been told of this promise. They used their only means of crossing, riding their swimming animals across. Many of their party drowned and they also lost most of their food and other necessities.
General Cooper's wife (Nancy Ann Pile--dpy), who was ill when forced to start on the perilous journey, was physically unable to continue. A few miles from the Mississippi River in the state of Arkansas, the soldiers permitted the sick woman and (their? her?) old mother [probably Molly Huston Cooper, wife of Henry Cooper--dpy] to be left in the wild and rugged country with her two daughters, Delitha and Narcissa.
General Cooper and his son and sons-in-law were made to continue their journey westward, driving their remaining cattle. There remains today a crossing in southeastern Oklahoma called Cooper's Landing which was named for the courageous and faithful Choctaw husband and father. As soon as possible they escaped from the soldiers and made their way back to where the old mother and daughters were left. The mother had died two days after being abandoned. Delitha and Narcissa had survived by eating bark of trees and other plants and animals.
John Cooper was an educated Indian - spoke and wrote the English language. He fought in the war of 1812 with Andrew Jackson. The two men made a Gentlemen's Agreement that the Choctaws of Perry and Maury County, Tenn. were not to be moved to the Indian Territory until the spring of 1836. The two men continued to correspond and Andrew Jackson verified "their promise in writing." Our grandfather, John Cooper was deceived by this Democrat. He asked (page torn: that no one in the family would every vote for a Democrat again. They became staunch Republicans.)
Information on Capt. John Cooper from Dr. Ronald C. Martin, http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/a/r/Ronald-C-Ma...

In the case Nancy Cooper v. Choctaw Nation, William Cooper's widow, Barthenia Parilla Cooper, 90, testified in 1894 that her husband William Huston Cooper was a nephew of an Isaac Cooper who lived and died in North Carolina. So Isaac and John were brothers. The affadavit of Hyram E. Livingston on August 8, 1895, also mentions a brother Isaac who married an Indian woman and whom he saw alive in 1829 in Perry Co., Tenn. He also mentions a William Cooper, who "married a quadroon Indian." According to witnesses, all these brothers spoke the Choctaw language, were called and were Choctaw Indians. According to descendants, the Coopers moved to Arkansas in 1838, at the time of the Trail of Tears, after spending some time in Illinois and about two years in Missouri.

Notes for NANCY ANN PILES:
Was evidently of the Piles Long Hunter family that operated around Wayne Co., Ky. Her father was an Indian spy in the Revolution. Moved to Jackson Twp., Newton Co., Ark. from Georgia/Alabama in 1836. Relative of the famous hunter and gunsmith Conrad (Coonrad) Pile, a friend of the Crocket family in Tennessee who settled in Fentress Co. (formerly Wayne Co., Ky.). Piles was spelled variously, Pfeil, Piel, Poyle, Pyle and Pile.
Nancy Cooper went on the TOT with her husband John, beginning in Mississippi, then through Tennessee, then Georgia, possibly Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and finally Arkansas (1836 or 1837). She ended up in Chickasaw country in Indian Territory. Her son Isaac F. Cooper seems to have come from Rutherford Co., Tenn. at a slightly later date.

vi. MARY COOPER, b. 1783, S.C.; m. JACOB NICHOLAS5; b. Abt. 1780, Tennessee (?); d. Aft. 1850, Lauderdale Co., Ala..

Notes for MARY COOPER:

I am quoting from an out-of-print BOOK "Anywhere I Wander I Find Facts and Legends about the Creel Families".
(written by J.OWENS 1975) Lucinda and Jerusha were the daughters of JACOB NICHOLAS, son (in-law) of JOHN COOPER, a
Choctaw Indian Chief who signed the Great Indian Dance Treaty, supposedly at Shubuta, MS. LUCINDA NICHOLAS was
a midwife." If LUCINDA NICHOLAS is the daughter of JACOB NICHOLAS, who was the son of JOHN COOPER, why
was his name JACOB NICHOLAS and not JACOB COOPER? Does this mean that JACOB NICHOLAS was the Indian
Chief and if so, how do I find out his Indian name? I have searched US-Indian Treaties and the closest I can come to what is in
the book "Great Indian Dance Treaty" is the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek and found it on-line. Searched the signatures on it
and there is no JOHN COOPER nor JACOB NICHOLAS, unless JACOB NICHOLAS was the chief and had an Indian
name. The only thing I have found on JOHN COOPER is that he worked among the Choctaws in Mississippi. I have searched
on the Internet and in libraries and encyclopedias and that is all I have found. Thanks.
