137Mary E. (Rohrbaugh) Cooper
Born 1807. Lived on Allegheny Mountain [in the] Harman area. "Grandmother" Cooper, as she is known around the area, ancestor of the Cooper generation and wife of Jonas Cooper, was widowed with 12 children to rear all alone in a day when no help was available, money very scarce, and no stores existed. She not only kept them all together (very unusual for a widow in those days) but reared them respectably. She is also remembered in Harman community as playing an important part in the founding of the first church in the whole Dry Fork area.
138Hi Tim,
I have the following information: I can look up dates if our puzzle fits.
Mary Rohrbaugh m Jonas Cooper
She was widowed early, I am curious about how Jonas died.
My greatgrandfather, Reverend Asa Harman, married one of her daughters and after that wife died he married her sister, Barbara. Mary R. Cooper was a very well known religious leader and was responsible for bringing the Brethern religion to Randolph-Pendleton Counties of W. Virginia. I have read a few books that referenced her religious leadership. Rev. Asa Harman's son Asa was my grandfather.
I have a lot more info if this fits what you are looking for.
