  1. 12.  James Amberson Cooper was born on 12 Nov 1843 in Hinds County, Mississippi (son of Jonathan Henry "J. H." Cooper and Obediance "Obediah" ???); died on 5 Jan 1927 in Pineland, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Jacks Cemetery, Pineland, Sabine County, Texas.

    Notes:

    Virgie Speights shows his middle name as Anderson, but all other researchers indicate it was actually Amberson. This is supported by the Widow's Application for a Confederate Pension application completed by Amelia Cooper, listing the full name of her husband as James Amberson Cooper. She also referenced that he had previously drawn a pension, citing file number 33200. Ancestry.com shows in their Civil War Service Records database that J. A. Cooper served in the Eleventh Texas Infantry, entering as a private and being discharged as a Corporal.

    Jim Cooper writes on his blog, "Trails to Texas," http://www.trailstotexas.com/

    "On the 1900 census, Amelia reports that she has had 11 children, 7 of whom were alive at that time. Only the 10 children below have been identified. Apparently one child whose name is now not known died at birth or very soon thereafter. If anyone has any information about this child, please contact me at mailto: jimcooper@austin.rr.com."
