I am seeking any info on the subject and his family.

1850 census for Newark, Licking, OH:

E. [Elijah] Cooper age 53 grocer b. NH
Mary age 35 b. NH
Mary age 17 b. OH
Martha age 15 b. OH
Henry age 13 b. OH
Caroline age 1/12 b. OH
Rachael Davis age 20 b. Wales

Next door to this family was the Jewett family, of which the head of household was also a grocer. Don't know if the families are related or not.

By 1860, Elijah must have been dead, as Caroline was living as a family boarder with the family of Charles Hoover in McKean Twp.

I am hoping someone can help me track down this family, as I believe the daughter Martha may be my ggg grandmother. Her name and approximate age, as well as her geographic location, make her a very possible contender. Her parentage has long been a mystery, which I hope to solve.

Thanks, Laurie
