    [Excerpts of the column written by Virgie Collier Speights]

    Mrs. Alpha Martin Cooper, who soon will be 77 years old, is in feeble health and has had a peck of trouble, but still has spunk and feels she also had a bushel of blessings.

    The daughter of William Franklin and Mary Elizabeth Jordan Martin, she was born in a log cabin which was soon replaced by a huge double-penned, hand hewn log dwelling with wide hall and front and back porches, which was within two miles of where she has lived all her life, except for a brief scurry into West Texas in search of greener pastures.

    With seven boys and six girls, the Martins, who were trying to wrest a living from the reluctant land, needed every hand....As soon as she was old enough, Mrs. Cooper was picking cotton alongside her older brothers and sisters...

    Her parents were born in the area in which they lived, but their parents had come from Mississippi. Her grandparents were Thomas Jefferson Martin and Rebecca Richardson on her fathers side, and Lewis Jordan and Josephine Letney on her mothers side...(she was schooled) in a one-room log building, called Pleasant Grove located near Pineland, which is still standing. Her teachers included Lena Williams, a sister of the late Sim Williams, Tom Sutton and a Mr. McLanahan. James Scott Cooper, whom she married on 28 May 1905, attended the same school.

    Excerpts of the column written by Virgie Collier Speights

    [Alpha had hinted to her mother that she might soon be wed]...but her mother said she'd never give consent, so Mrs. Cooper said she had no choice but to slip off...she managed a brand new white leghorn hat.....also wrangled a brand new white dotted Swiss dresss, at 12 cents a yard.....[but didn't getting new white shoes, after her sister pointed out to her 'you haven't had the black ones long, if anyone gets new shoes, it should be me.']

    [On the day they eloped]...Miss Martin kited over an 8-rail high back fence, and scooted down the road by the creek...Scott came driving up in his surrey, we went to the home of his sister and brother-in-law, Mrs. and Mrs. Will Bradshaw in Brookeland, where a J.P., Will Berryman, was waiting to perform the ceremony.

    "We set up housekeeping nearby, but about 20 years later rumors of $18 a day lured us to West Texas to pick cotton...we just stayed for two years. Wages were high all right, but so was living."

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  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."

  1. 8.  Jonathan Henry "J. H." Cooper was born on 22 Aug 1818 in Mississippi (son of William Gill Cooper and Dempsey Donaho); died on 17 Feb 1897 in Yellowpine Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas.

    Notes:

    FindAGrave shows that Jonathan and Obedience "moved to Pineland, Sabine County, Texas in 1854 from Mississippi. They built their first home, a log house, a short distance from Pineland, and later build a larger house north of the present town site on the east side of Highway 87. He went into the mercantile business and owned a store and a sawmill at Yellowpine, Texas. He was also a farmer and a breeder of livestock. His hobbies were fishing and hunting and he was said to have been one of the best in his community. He was elected Commissioner of the Sabine County Board of Supervisors, and as Commissioner, he ordered the County to buy in 1870 the first iron safe for the records of the County Clerk. Later the courthouse burned and all the records were destroyed."

    Kay Parker McCary shows her last name as CHANCE.

    Thomas + Rebecca "Becky" Richardson. Rebecca was born in Feb 1832 in Louisiana; died about 1907 in Texas; was buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery (aka Whitehead Cemetery or Martin-Whitehead Cemetery), Pineland, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  6. 13.  Rebecca "Becky" Richardson was born in Feb 1832 in Louisiana; died about 1907 in Texas; was buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery (aka Whitehead Cemetery or Martin-Whitehead Cemetery), Pineland, Sabine County, Texas.

    Notes:

    Virgie Collier Speights, in OLD TIMERS OF SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS, lists her last name both as Richardson (p. 46) and as Watkins (p. 54).

    Notes:

    Married:
    In Virgie Collier Speights June 11, 1964 column about Rev. and Mrs. Bob Strickland, it is noted that Bob's maternal grandparents were "Tom and Beckie (Watkins--sic) MARTIN, and they have five sons and two daughters, Frank, Case, Lip, Jimmy, Ed, Marge and Harriet Ann, his mother" (Old Timer of Sabine County, Texas, p. 54).

    The 1900 census showed that Rebecca had five children, four of whom were still living. Based on both the column referenced above, and the various census enumerations from 1850 through 1880, it appears she had at least the seven children listed above, and possibly one other son that may have died relatively young, Clinton (b. 1855). Perhaps the census information could be interpreted as Rebecca had a total of nine children....five deceased and four still living (or vice versa).

    Children:
