Sources: 89
Notes:
At the beginning of 1760 Granville County NC was a large county that
bordered VA. At the beginning of 1775 Granville County was divided in two
parts; one part became Bute Co., western part was Granville, at the
beginning of 1780. Bute County was divided in two parts-Warren County to
the North, that part bordered VA. The southern half became Franklin County.
In 1912 a part became Vance. Today we have Granville Vance, Warren and
Franklin Counties. One could have lived in Granville Co. in 1775 and would
have lived in Granville, Bute, and Warren counties and never had to move
from the original spot and if they lived long enough they could also have
lived in Vance County.245

Notes:
Elijah Cooper and his wife lived the first year on the property of his
uncle, James Harrison. A short time afterward Elijah Cooper bought a tract
of land not far from his uncle and his father-in-law, Thomas Greer. On the
road leading to Adam's Ford on Tyger River. Thomas Greer was an important
man in the Rev. War and in SC. 247
One of the sons of Elijah H. Cooper and S. Greer was James William Cooper
who went by the initials, J.W.. One of J.W.'s sons wrote him in 1856 and
asked about his heritage. This 6 page letter can be found in the Book of
Greer and Related Families. This six page letter he recalls, to the best of
his knowledge, the off-spring of William Cooper and Mary Polly Harrison. He
makes one
terrible omission. He omits William Cooper II, he lists Elijah H. Cooper,
John, Andrew, Abner, Richard, Sarah, Mary, Elizabeth. This omission has
been the genesis of a lot of errors eg. Tennessee Cousins.

Notes:
William Cooper I, did indeed, have a son named William Cooper as well as
Elijah H., et. al. and J.W. probably did not know anything about him since
he had already left the
area, or his memory failed him when he wrote the letter which was written
50-60 years after William II left.248 In the Union County Deed Book H pp
135-136 there is a deed of gift recorded 5 May 1804. The original Deed of
Gift and William Cooper I had a son William Cooper II that he left one bed
and furniture and sted and cord etc. William II went on to Giles County,
Tennessee. He
had a son that he named after Elijah Harrison.
14 William II is not listed by Meynard in The Venturers as a child of
William Cooper I.

Notes:
The will of John Cannon (Surry Co Va, Oct. 1741) left 20 shillings to
Cannon Cooper (his cousin) for schooling. If the money was not used for
schooling the money was to go back to the estate. Well, either 20 shillings
was not enough money to become literate or they spent the money unwisely,
because Cannon Cooper could never write his name and other people spelled it
like it sounded.
