earnest smith was definately not snakey cooper as snaky was an uncle to brian grace who was selinia son,selinia being earnests younger daughter.black lizzie and selinia were sisters..we think now snaky may have been levi smith earnests younger brother but we cant be sure as yet.it is an on going enquiry

Hi,
I have just come across this. Snakey Cooper was my Great Grandfather, I can give you as much family information as you want ! Snakey Cooper was born Nemiah Cooper and was married to Harriet. He is Buried in Wilton church. His son, (my grandfather) was Sidney Cooper who married Violet James. They had 9 children.
Regards
Tim Cooper

HI
Me again ! I suppose i should at least spell his name correctly. Nehemiah Cooper (known as Snakey) His wife was Harriet (formerly Wells) Yes they did have a son called Eli born in 1907 sorry missed that bit too.
I hope this is helpful. Happy hunting !
