 I would be glad if some one in Georgia or elsewhere would take up this genea- logy and perfect it. Mir. A. H. Pugh. an accomplished genealogist of Cincinnati, O., is at work upon one, but needs infor- nation. since the family removed to Georgia. My wife is great-eranddaugh- ter of Captain Thomas Cooper and Sarah Anthony. his wife. and the facts here stated have been mainly gathered from family Bibles preserved in her family.
