From the book MARK ANTHONY COOPER: IRON MAN OF GEORGIA (pp2-3)
"Cooper took an active role in politics and the Revolution, serving as a captain, then major in the Continental Army, also as a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses and as a delegate from Henry County to the Virginia Convention of 1788 which adopted the Constitution of the United States.
He was a cabinet maker by trade, a furniture craftsman, and, according to one historian, invented 'many useful things in his workshop at Beaver Creek, the beautiful home he built on a creek by that name in Henry County.
Thomas and Sarah Cooper were among the many Virginians who moved to Georgia after the Revolutionary War, drawn by the offer of free land. They settled in Hancock County where Thomas had a plantation which in later years produced corn, flax, small grain and tobacco as shown by a memorandum of agreement with an overseer in 1794.
The plantation comprised more than 600 acres when his will was written in August 1793. His estate then included 540 acres of Logdam Creek, a tract of 30-35 acres with a mill, 'two bounties of land on Sandy Run,' and the tract on which his house stood with another mill.
Their daughter, Elizabeth Cooper (m. Thomas Stovall). Another daughter, Polly, married John Waller, son of Rev Army Colonel George Waller.
