James P. Cooper Ministry Records 1906-1931 Clarke Co., Georgia Marriages Rev. James P. Cooper was born March 31, 1873 in Meriwether County, Georgia. In 1902, he was called to the ministry in Spalding County, Georgia. Rev. Cooper served a number of churches in the Griffin-Spalding County, Georgia area before moving to Athens, Georgia in 1906. He served some 15 different churches in the Clarke, Madison, Oconee and Jackson County areas. Rev. Cooper remained active in the Baptist ministry until his death in 1932. These marriage records were transcribed from a 40 year-old typed copy of his records, which were most likely transcribed from Rev. Cooper’s handwritten records. The records contain many of the original spelling errors. The street addresses listed are the locations where the ceremonies were performed. Some records show a dollar-amount paid by the groom for the ceremony. This set of records contains marriages performed by Rev. Cooper from 1906 to1931 in Athens and Clarke County, Georgia.
