Isaac and Mattie Jane (Wigley) Cooper (II)

Isaac and Mattie (Wigley) Cooper

Here are some more views of the old family photo of Isaac Cooper and his wife, Mattie Jane Emaline Wigley Cooper, of Long Island, Jackson County, Alabama. I believe these images were scanned straight from my negatives by ScanCafe. Previously, I uploaded copies which had been scanned from my printed photos. There is a notable difference in the color. These (from the negatives) have much better color and clarity. I've also included a copy of the photo as it actually was, with the couple together. That's the best shot of it that I have. I was able to get better focus on each face by taking shots of half the photo at a time.

Isaac Cooper and Mattie Jane Emaline Wigley (I)

Isaac and Mattie Jane (Wigley) Cooper

Isaac Cooper married Mattie Jane Emaline Wigley on 9 November 1902 in Trenton, Dade County, Georgia.

Isaac, born 29 March 1879 in Alabama, was the seventh son of Peter and Malinda (Sizemore) Cooper, who married on 28 August 1864 in Dekalb County, Alabama. Mattie, born 14 September 1886, was the daughter of James Marion and Mary E. (Bryant) Wigley, who married on 23 December 1880, in Dade County, Georgia.

The Coopers settled near their people in Long Island, Jackson County, Alabama. Isaac and Mattie had one stillborn son (later named Isaac, Jr.); and three daughters, Rosie Elizabeth Cooper, born 15 May 1906; Pearl Ellen Cooper, born 7 February 1908; and Sally Bell Cooper, born 16 July 1910. Mattie died on 18 June 1911 in Jackson County, Alabama, when her daughter, Sally, was just a baby. Mattie had never been well since the baby was born ~ she had a hole in her bladder. Isaac was a farmer. One day, while he was gone, Mattie found that there was going to be bad weather. She hurried out to try to get the crops in. This destroyed her health, and shortly after that, she died. Mattie is buried at the old cemetery in Island Creek Cove, Jackson County, Alabama.

Isaac remarried, first to Clarancy Cleo Colvin; and, after she died, to Estelle Higdon. He had six children by each of his other wives: sixteen children in all.

Isaac Cooper lived on the bluff in Long Island, Alabama. Some of his people, and the Wigleys, lived down in the cove. Later, he lived in Bridgeport (or the area came to be called Bridgeport). Cleo's half-brother, Mark ("Bean") lived with him for many years. Later in life, Isaac moved in with his daughter, Sally (Cooper) Bryant, in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. Finally, he moved into a nursing home. Isaac died in Collinsville, Dekalb County, Alabama, on 18 May 1977. He is buried at Sequatchie Valley Memorial Cemetery, Jasper, Marion County, Tennessee.

The photo of Isaac and Mattie (above) is a double portrait. However, I could not take it out of the frame, and could not get both faces into focus at once; therefore, I photographed each face separately and put the two images together. The original photograph belonged to Sally (Cooper) Bryant.

My other image file was scanned by ScanCafe, possibly straight from my negative. The color and clarity is a little better in the newly uploaded shots:

Clarency Cleo (Colvin) Cooper

Clarency Cleo (Colvin) Cooper

Clarancy Cleo J. Colvin was born 22 October 1893 near Shellmound, Marion County, Tennessee. She was the daughter of Albert Elmore and Dora L. (Berryhill) Colvin, who had married in Dade County, Georgia, in 1892. Cleo married Isaac Cooper on 10 Dec 1911 in Scottsboro, Jackson County, Alabama. Isaac's first wife, Mattie Wigley, had died, leaving him with three little girls: Rosie, Pearl, and Sallie. Cleo became a mother to these children, and loved them as if they were her own. The family lived in Long Island, Jackson County, Alabama, up on the bluff, on Sand Mountain. In 1913, Cleo had her first biological child: Ella Mae Cooper. Five more children followed: Beulah Pauline, Lela Emmaline, Albert Elmore "Bud," Eula Lorene "Tommie," and Nellie Viola Cooper (born Jan. 1926). A few months after Nellie was born, her mother, Cleo, died on 23 May 1926. Nellie died a couple of months later. The photo above, of Cleo, hung on the wall of Grandmother's house (Sallie Cooper Bryant) for all the years that I can recall. She loved Cleo. She didn't remember her own mother, who had died when she was a baby; but she also kept a picture of Isaac and her mother, Mattie (Wigley) Cooper, beside the picture of Cleo. Below is a picture of Isaac and Cleo Cooper. Cleo is holding Ella Mae. Isaac's three daughters by his first marriage are there.

Isaac and Cleo (Colvin) Cooper and family

The Cooper children in the photo above are Pearl (left), Rosie (center), and Sallie (holding Isaac's hand). Ella Mae Cooper is the baby in Cleo's arms. I've had to identify them by presumed ages.

The photos have been retouched some. The photo of Cleo has had the background mat extensively retouched to remove skewing, distortion, corner shadows, and a bad glare caused by photographing the picture under glass. The bottom photo has had sharpening applied, especially to the heads; and some retouching of Pearl's right eye where there was a bad spot. The background behind the girls has been darkened a little to make them stand out a little better. I haven't tried to fix the corners.

Extract by Stan Wigley for D.K. Pritchett

Colvin and Berryhill: Related to Cooper by Marriage

Dora BERRYHILL married Albert Elmore COLVIN. Either Dora or her husband was married more than once, because I have a list of children who are half-siblings to each other. They all went by "Colvin."

CHILDREN:

Group 1:
Ellis Colvin, b. abt. 1881 (shot to death by Jim Cooper at the ferry)
Doug Colvin, b. abt. 1884;
+Lou Della Cooper (dau. of Peter)
Jim Floyd Colvin, birthdate unknown
Frances Colvin (female), birthdate unknown

Group 2:
Charley G. Colvin, b. abt. 1895; maybe called "Tarley."
Clarancy Cleo COLVIN b. c1893 TN, d. c1926.
+Isaac Cooper b.1879 (son of Peter)
(2nd wife--m. 6 Dec 1911, Long Island, Jackson Co., AL)
Claude Colvin, b. abt. 1897
Thomas J. Colvin, b. abt. 1901
Mark Colvin (called "Bean"), birth date unknown.

In addition, Dora Berryhill Colvin reared a girl, Ruby; my grandmother and great-aunts described her as, Cleo's sister--but "not a 'real' sister or half-sister." (maybe step-sister or adopted).

Of the above children, Clarancy Cleo COLVIN married my great-grandfather, Isaac COOPER (she was his 2nd wife, and beloved stepmother of my grandmother).

Doug & Lou Della had a girl named Alma COLVIN (2nd wife of Charlie BRYANT, my g-gf. His first wife, my g-gm, was Mary Smith GRAY).

Mark and Ellis COLVIN were said to be "like night and day": Mark, called "Bean," was loved by all. He continued to live in the home of Isaac Cooper after Cleo died, and lived there until his death. We hear many tales about Ellis, the "mean" one.

Also searched Georgia death index, in case our Jackson County Wigleys died in Trenton or Rossville area (Catoosa, Dade, Walker County).

Pulled from Georgia Death Index:

John C. Cooper: d. 8 Feb 1926, Walker Co., GA

M.J.P. Cooper: d. 10 Dec 1961, Chatham Co., GA

Marie E. Cooper: d. 15 Mar 1925, Walker Co., GA (age unknown)

[Too many Coopers to pull. Focused only on those who had names similar to our Wigleys who married Coopers, and/or who died in North Georgia.]

J.F. Wigley, Sr.: d. 15 Aug 1957, W M age 68, Cobb Co., GA.

J.W. Wigley: d. 29 Jan 1957, W M age 89, Baldwin Co., GA; last resided Cobb. Co.

James M. Wigley: d. 8 Mar 1957, W M age 72, Hall Co., GA;

Mrs. J.F. Wigley, d. 20 May 1956, age 65, Ware Co., GA; last resided Appling Co.

Joseph Whidby, d. 7 May 1936, Hall Co., GA

(There were several Whisby and Whidby names, leading me to believe that this is prob. a separate family instead of a mix-up w/Wigley).

Interestingly, I found:

Dora Colvin: d. 4 July 1967, W F, age 76, Muscogee Co.

Ellis K. Colvin: d. 22 Feb 1967, W M, age 17, Grady Co.

[I only pulled these last two Colvins because their names were so similar to my known Colvins--and it made me think these are traditional names in the Colvin family.]

These birth and death dates reflect two particular families (main lineages). These dates come from different sources, such as tombstones and lists, and may be unproven.
