John and Susan died close together and are the first to be buried in the Smith Cemetery, Havana, Yell County, Arkansas on the family homestead.
Some believe his father is George Frederick Cooper (b 1759 in PA to d 1841 in KY), however, George Frederick Cooper's Will clearly identifies his son John Cooper as deceased before 1841. (Link to Transcription posted below)
