Research Interest: I AM LOOKING FOR JOHN LANGDON COOPER'S PARENTS. I FOUND HIS MOTHER WHO IS DORCAS A. COOPER (1828) FROM TENNEESSE. HOWEVER,I FOUND OUT ABOUT HIS FATHER FROM INDIANA.I GOT THE INFORMATION FROM THE 1860 CENSUS IN HARDIN COUNTY, ILLINOIS. THEY HAD FIVE CHILDREN, WHICH WERE CARL (1845), JOHN LANGDON (1847), MARY A.(1849), GEORGE W. (1851), AND NOAH L. COOPER (1853). JOHN LANGDON COOPER WAS BORN 22 JANUARY 1847 NEAR SHETLERVILLE, HARDIN COUNTY, ILLINOIS. ALSO, HE DIED 17 FEBRUARY 1910 IN DAYTONA, FLORIDA.I FOUND OUT ABOUT JOHN LANGDON COOPER WROTE IN HIS BIBLE RECORD THAT HIS FATHER DIED WHEN HE WAS 7 YEARS OLD. THEREFORE, I FIGURED THAT HIS FATHER DIED IN 1854 IN ILLINOIS. JOHN LANGDON COOPER JOINED METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN 1867.THEN, HE WAS LISENSED TO PREACH IN AUGUST 1871, AND ENGAGED IN TEACHING SCHOOL. CAN YOU HELP TO FIND WHO THEIR FATHER IS AND WHAT THEIR MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME? I DON'T HAVE E-MAIL, SO I USED THE LIBRAY'S INTERNET. THEREFORE, CAN YOU PLEASE MAIL ME AT MY ADDRESS: 8581 WESTERN AVE APT A. BUENA PARK, CA 90620. I HOPE YOU CAN FIND SOME ANSWERS FOR ME, THANK YOU!
