I am looking for ancestors related to Joseph Cooper, from North Carolina, and Hardin County, Tennessee,father's name was Russell Ray Cooper. Joseph married Opal Bowles. They lived in Missouri

What time frame are you referring to? When was Joseph Cooper in NC (and where), and when was he in TN?

I'm not sure if Joseph was in North Carolina, but his grandfather John M.Cooper, married to Rebecca Covey was from there around 1790. Joseph was born in Hardin County, Tennessee 9/11/1889. I do not know when he left Tennessee but he ended up in Joplin, Missouri. Joseph's father was Russell Ray Cooper, 2/11/1852, also from Hardin County. He was married to Suzanne Tennon Smith. She died 4/20/1892. Not sure where. Joseph had 3 brothers, Daniel, John and Robert and one sister Elizabeth. He was previously married to Ester Tankersley in 1910. They had a daughter, named Velma born 9/19/1910-1/4/1992. This is about all I have other than he was married to Opal Bowles in 1930.
