Noble Co History says "Isaac Cooper, a native of Virginia, settled in this (Beaver) township in 1824. He was born in the Shenandoah Valley in 1799. He died in Vinton County, Ohio in 1882. He was a substantial farmer and a worthy citizen. ... bringing his family and his household goods in a two wheeled cart drawn by two horses hitched tandem." According to the death certificates of his children, his first wife's name was Elizabeth Hastings. They must have married about 1820 and settled in Guernsey Co, where all of his children were born.
By 1830 they had a son and two daughters and were listed as: male: 1<5, 1=30-40 female: 1<5, 1=5-10, 1=30-40 his listing is mis-indexed in this census as Jessee Cooper. At the time he was listed on the tax roles as having 79 acres in section 15 ($100). They had 2 more sons before Isaac Newton was born 24 Oct 1835 (in Williamsburg, Guernsey Co, OH), and a daughter afterward.
