From journal by Verta Clay Carter:
"Sissy was the youngest of eight children of William McAdams Cooper and Louisa Elizabeth Tombs. She was born in Lawrence County, Tennessee and raised Cumberland Presbyterian. Her family were Democrats and members of an old southern family. Her grandfather Robert Cooper, was one of the pioneer settlers in Middle Tennessee. When Sissy was two years old, her father, William McAdams Cooper, left his home and family to serve in the Confederate Army. He never returned to his family and died in the army July 5, 1862 in Tupelo, Mississippi after getting the "fever".
Sissy had many memories of the unhappy days when the Yankees came to Tennessee. One memory concerned an incident that happened when the Coopers were moving. They had all their belongings loaded on a wagon and several Yankee soldiers afoot stopped them on the road. They wanted their horses and took them loose from the wagon. They ordered the Coopers off the wagon and proceeded to take what the wanted from the wagon. A lone "Southerner" hiding in the trees saw them and began firing at the Yankees and yelling "Surround them boys". The soldiers, thinking they were outnumbered, dropped the horses reins and all they had taken and ran - leaving the Coopers to regather their belongings and continue on their way.
HISTORY: WILLIAM JAMES CARTER was employed by Eatne Furnaces in Hohenwald where iron was melted. They lived at Carter Hollow near Linden, Tenn. until 1893 when they came to Texas. They spent their last night in Tennessee with Jim's sister, Vicey and her husband, Dill Turnbow, near Hohenwald. they left next morning for Texas and arrived four days late on May 18, 1893 at Cedar Hill, Texas where the family of PARIS COOPER, her uncle, lived. He farmed in Dallas County for several years and then moved to a farm at Warsaw in Kaufman County, Texas that belonged to Sissy's cousin, Ed Pickard. After two years on this farm Jim Carter bought a farm of his own with a log house on it near Warsaw. Later he moved his family from one place to another - to Wilson Chapel, then to Oak Grove, Praireville, Gasett, and to Eustace, where he lost his daughter, Annie Dora. Because of ill health in 1935 they moved into the home of their eldest daughter, Ada Howard, where Sissy died of a stroke some moths later. Jim Carter moved to the home of his son Robert after Sissy died and lived there until he died.
