He married (3) JAYNE ----- Abt. 1897 in Alabama (?). She was born February 1855 in Alabama.

Notes for JOHN "JOHNNY" COOPER:
According to his son's Indian roll application, John Cooper was born in Dade Co., Georgia and died October 1905. In 1870, he was living with his new wife Nancy and their new baby Sarah, one month old, in Sulphur Springs, DeKalb Co., three houses away from Elizabeth (Forrester) Sizemore, 67, his grandmother. By 1880, the family had moved Fractional Township on Sand Mountain between Daniel Shrader, 82, a cooper (barrel maker), and Peter Cooper, 37, who was his uncle or cousin. Sarah Cooper, 18, a step-daughter, was also in the household (born Kerby, later Sallie Wells).
John Cooper bought 80 acres of land in Jackson County, 2 October 1885, E1/2 of NE1/4 of Section 29 T4S R9E, 7 acres residue part of SE1/4 of SE1/4 and 37 acreas part of NE1/2 of SE1/4 of the same section, altogether 124 acres, plus on the same date a residue in S30 of DeKalb Co. On March 20, 1886 he bought more acreage in Sec. 30 Tsp. 4S Range 9E. All this lay between Rosalie in Jackson Co. and Pea Ridge in DeKalb. Some of the land was apparently purchased under the Homestead Act; Cooper's certificate was #3967. He deeded 40 acreas to his son James J. Cooper on November 4, 1901. His neighbor was Daniel Shrader. Other land owners were Zilmon Williams (his son's brother-in-law), William B. Kerby (his step-son) and Henry Blevins (cousin). This area was called Fractional Township and straddled the county line. Shrader's mill was located there, near the source of Bryants Creek, which flowed into Johnson Creek in nearby Pisgah, and the Wills Valley Railroad came through after the Civil War. Rosalie was the closest "place." It was a combination of meadow land and sandy loam, perfect for farming.
On August 20, 1894, John Cooper deeded 80 acres in DeKalb County for $100 to his wife, Nancy E. Cooper (E 1/2 NE 1/4 S30 T4S R9E --Reverse Deed Book 3, page 69). Nancy Cooper had bought 40 acres in the same Section on June 2, 1884, and other land there under the Homestead Act on Nov. 20, 1884. She died shortly after the reverse deed. Some if not all the land had already been repossessed by the government in 1891. This was the original homeplace of Jackson Cooper after the Civil War, John's father.
Johnny Cooper remarried to Jayne -------- and was living after Nancy's death in 1900 with John S. Henegar, his sister-in-law (?) Emily's husband, on Mount Pisgah, Jackson County. The town of Henegar was named after this family.
