 l.9l. December 2a-24Thomas Cooper of Green County. Ga, makes three deeds to the lands he had left behind him his wife in these deeds. It would there fore seem that Thomas Cooper removed from Henry County. Va, to Green County. Ga. between December 1. 1791, (the date where Sarah his wife declares herself of Henry County. va.) and the z2d of December, 179l, when Thomas Cooper declares himself of Green County, Ga.: and the inference Is that Sarah does not join in the deeds of December 1924. 1191. It Is also evident that Joseph Cooper went to Georgia, (county not stated). as early as 1lS6.-fve years be- fore Thomas. and that there was an other Joseph as witness to his deed.
 There was also a John Cooper here in 17S0 owning lands adjoining Joseph md Inomas. who seems to drop out or the records. John, Thomas and Joseph Cooper all signed an oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia against King George, October ', 17T.

 "Who shall decide when historians dis- aRree?" It is very evident that the Ky dale Geneaology and Wheelers History are each epdeavoring to describe the same persons but the accounts are very different. One comment may be made. however. It is hardly probable that Loro George Keeling had his estates conns- cated on account of his Protestant prln- ciples for England was strongly Prot estant at that time.
