William Milton Jameson married my 4th Great Grandmother Dorcas P Couch around 1844. Dorcas Couch was born in Pendleton District, South Carolina on October 5th 1825 to John Couch Sr. and Mary Ann Prather (Mary Ann Prather is a First Cousin to General Andrew Pickens). William and Dorcas raised six children together, four sons and two daughters. After Williams death at Spotsylvania, Virginia during the Civil War Dorcas did remarry, she married James M Robinson and was living with him and her son William C. Jameson in Easley, South Carolina during the 1880 census. Dorcas died on October 2nd 1904 and was buried in the Jameson Family Cemetery in Pickens County, South Carolina.
William Chastain and Margaret Ann Jameson
William and Dorcas daughter Margaret Ann Jameson was born in Pickens District, South Carolina in 1852. Margaret married William Chastain the Great Grandson of John Chastain Sr. (the first minister of the Oolenoy Baptist Church). William and Margaret moved to Eastatoe District in Transylvania County, North Carolina and had three daughters. William died sometime after 1880 and Margaret in 1887 leaving their three minor daughters behind. Records are scarce on exactly where the children lived but they were shown on county records in Pickens County, South Carolina at the time of Margarets death.
William Davis Cooper and Mittie N. Chastain
The youngest of these three girls Mittie N. Chastain was born in Transylvania County, North Carolina on October 22nd 1876 just a short time before her mothers death. Mittie is my Great Great Grandmother; she married William Davis Cooper around 1900 in Pickens County, South Carolina. William was born in Pickens County on October 8th 1877 to Stephen Elbert Cooper and Florence Stansell.
William and Mittie raised 5 children in Pickens County, most likely in the town of Easley. Their son William Oscar Cooper is my Great Grandfather. This brings us back to Granny and Papa Cooper.
William Davis Cooper died on June 8th 1951 and Mittie Chastain Cooper lived until October 12th 1954. They are both buried at Mountain View Cemetery in Pickens County, South Carolina.
