Re: Henry F Cooper Choctaw and Chickasaw Mounted R

Henry Cooper, Pvt. - Co. F, 1st Choctaw & Chickasaw Mtd Rifles

Enlisted March 15, 1863 at Scullyville, Choctaw Nation on June 30, 1863 roll.

There are several Coopers in this regiment and two others in this company -- Pvt Larfield Cooper and 1st Sgt William Cooper -- who enlisted about the same time at Scullyville.

The records are few for the Confederate IT units but this co. F is in the third reorganization of the regiment, organized on March 15, 1863 for the duration of the war. This company has one roll covering March 13 to June 30, 1863.

Can you tell us more about Henry's background? Was he a Choctaw citizen? I'm always interested in all the little details of these men who served in Indian Territory.
