These pages are dedicated to George and Lizzy
Cooper and the five of their eleven children that emigrated to Oregon
from
New
Pitsligo Scotland. The oldest son James crossed the plains in 1850 and
settled in the Umpqua Valley of Oregon. Robert got as far as
Canada
where he was to wait for his sister Anna before going on to
Oregon.
By the time Anna met up with him Robert was courting a local lady and
was
in no hurry to leave. Anna went on by herself, traveling around the
horn
to meet brother James in Oregon. James and Anna both married children
of
Ziba Dimmick who arrived in the Umpqua Valley in 1853. When
Robert and his new bride immigrated to Oregon they crossed the
Isthmus
of Panama by coach. David Rose Cooper joined his brother in 1872 and
liking
what he saw sent for his wife and son back in Holytown, Scotland. Their
brother John Lowden Cooper immigrated to Oregon with his family
some
time after 1854.
