Cooper - Penland Cemetery, 80-1 Summary Report, page 18

Other neighbors of Charity Cooper in the 1840 census listing included a number of the pioneers noted in Summary Reports of additional cemeteries on Redstone Arsenal. Charity's Allison roots are known to have included her father William. William Allison was a resident of the northern portions of what is now arsenal land. He lived near Bartholomew Jordan, a Revolutionary War soldier for whom Jordan's Chapel and Jordan Lane were named. In fact, William Allison was one of the charter members (along with Batt Jordan and about 20 others) of Jordan's Chapel, a Methodist Episcopal congregation. The 1830 census shows William's family to include two males in the 20 - 30 age bracket, one of whom would almost certainly be David Allison, who appears with his own family in the 1850 census. Charity Allison may be one of the two females in the age 15 - 20 age bracket, but she was reported by family researchers as having been born in 1801 in Ireland. That would make her age 29 in 1830, before her marriage to James Cooper in 1832.
