From pages 238-241 of Volume 4 (1908) of Men of Mark in Georgia, which comprises a sketch of his son, George Washington COOPER:
Richard Cooper, of English parentage, came from Orange county, N.C., and settled in Montgomery county, Ga., near old Dead River Church, about the year 1800. His children were George, William, David, Jane and Rachel. ... George Washington Cooper was one of the twelve children of George and Nancy (Conner) Cooper. His parents were in many respects an exceptional couple. His father was energetic, moral, mild in disposition but firm in action and management; his mother one of the noblest of women, intelligent, motherly, neighborly and godly. They were of a class of farmers, in those days common in the prosperous sections of Georgia, who with their descendants have made the State rich in sturdy, industrious and fearless manhood and womanhood. ... In the winter of 1840-1841, the young inventor moved to Screven county with his father, who, though owning considerable property in Montgomery county, disposed of it in order to take charge of the large estate of his bachelor brother William, who had just died. He settled in what became known as Cooperville, near Dover, on the Central Railroad.
