Ohio census 23 yrs old married to Clara Critzer. It says he was born in West Virginia, his
father was born in Germany and his mother was born in West Virginia. I have been stuck here for
years. Any help would be greatful. Please let me know if you have any information. Thanks! Jeff

COOPER, PHILLAW -
Edmund Blount Cooper and Jinnett Phillaw married 27 Jul 1799 in Bertie County NC.
The PHILLAW name appears 4 times in Bertie NC records from 1783-1799. Blount Cooper
appears in 1790 and 1800 Bertie Co Census in addition to the marriage noted above. It is as if
they suddenly "appeared" there and no where else in NC. Might these people have migrated to early
Bertie NC from southern Virginia or elsewhere in Virginia? I would sincerely appreciate help from
VA researchers who might have suggestions about where and how to search for them in early
Virginia.
