SUSAN KING ---- Cooper, William (1753-after 1820), son of William Cooper, the guide for Daniel Boone, lived mostly in Spanish West Florida among the Choctaw relatives of his mother, Malea Labon. First found in 1787 on the Spanish census of Second Creek district. In 1790, he was back in N.C.. He took a Choctaw wife (unnamed) about 1800. Their son William Cooper married SUSAN KING, the daughter of Chief Moshulatubbee, and they eventually emigrated to Leflore District, Indian Territory (Choctaw-Chickasaw Citizenship Court Case Files, Case 39. 7RA324, Roll 13). Another son, James Cooper, resided in Tishomingo County, Mississippi with a household of eleven next him in 1837 and also on the 1840 census (p. 232) and in the 1845 state census (that is, he managed to stay in the East and not be removed). William Cooper the father was a partner of the Choctaw trading company Turnbull & Associates. He seems to have left his Choctaw children with their mother Susan, for a William Cooper married the widow Polly Banks Warner and was justice of the peace in Washington Parish, Louisiana (1806).
