    This is a chart of Jimmie Lee ODEN's b. 1925.,Kemper County, MS maternal great, great, great, great, great, grandparent William HOPPER'S estimated to have been born about 1720. We do not know his spouce. We are seeking William's spouce, ancestors and descendants.

    Jimmie descends from William to John (d. 1827) and his spouce Mary Peterson ; to Hugh (1766-1825) and his spouce Sarah Dial (1766-); to John (1807-1857) and his spouce Drucilla Dorman (1815-1901); to William Allen (1835-1917) and his spouce Margaret Lou Floore (1843-1935); to Willie Ann Hopper (1862- 1895) and her spouce James E. Clark (1856-1937); to Maggie Lee Clark (1889-1981) and her spouce John Samuel Oden (1888-1977) ; to Jimmie Lee Oden (b.1925).

    We are searching for all the ancestors, siblings and descendants of Jimmie's seven known generations of ancestors.
    If you are willing to share, we would love to have the opportunity to learn all we can about your HOPPER family. We have found that this work of genealogy research is like a hugh jig saw puzzle. Other pieces of family history, such as yours, may shed light on our research in unknown and unpredictable ways and vice versa.
    We hope we may be able to keep in touch and share research information .

    HOPPER
    28 May 1997
    Thanks for visiting our Hopper genealogy sites. We are excited about the prospect of your having our Hopper Surname in common. Jimmie's Hopper family line were primarily from Kemper County, MS and Sumpter County, AL.

    Drucilla Dorman and John Hopper b.1808-9 d. 1857b. are Jimmie Lee Oden Mercer's maternal great, great, grandparents
    Jimmie's maternal great grandparents are William Allen Hopper b. 11-7-1835 d. 2-21-1917 and Margaret Lou Floore b. 12-10-1843 d.4-26-1935. We have a beautiful picture of great grandmother Margaret Lou Floore Hopper in her rocking chair. In addition to raising a large family, she operated a millenary Shope in DeKalb, Kemper Co.,MS. We know she was very close with her unmarried sister Jane. The Floores lived in the Preston or Gholson Community in Kemper County, MS. See our FLOORE Surname page.

    Jimmie's great grandfather William Allen Hopper was a Confederate Soldier. At the end of the Civil war he was a prisoner in an Indiana Prison and walked home to Kemper County. William Allen's brother Hugh Alexander was in the same prison and they came home together.
    Jimmie's maternal grandparents are Willie Ann Hopper b. 5-16-1862 d. 4-20-1898 and James Edward Clark b. 5-7-1856 d. 2-15-1937. We have great pictures of both. Their daughter Maggie Lee Clark is Jimmie's mother.
    Our grandparents other children are Joe Allen Hopper b. 1891 d. 1966; Albert who died at age 21-22; Ottie who married a Gwin(sp?) in DeKalb, MS; Walton who lived in DeKalb, MS; Calvin who moved to Talluah, LA; and R. Fred of DeKalb,MS,.

    Jimmie is the eighth of ten children of Sam and Maggie Oden and was born in July 18, 1925 at the Electric Mills, MS hospital and raised in Kemper County.

    The Oden Home Place which has been continuously lived in for over one hundred years is located in the Briggs Chapel Community on Hwy. 498 between Porterville, MS and Boyd AL not far from the AL Line.

    Do you have your HOPPER family information in GEDCOM format? We use PAF anf Family Treemaker genealogy software; but, we do not have all of Jimmie's HOPPER family data posted. We are in the constant process of doing so. We have almost all of Jimmie's family data in hand written form and we are in the process of trying to get the data posted to our PAF and FTM genealogy program as well as to this Web Site Page.

    Thanks again for contacting us. Your contact has made Jimmie a "happy cousin."
    Don't forget to sign in or to EMail us. Let's get in touch and keep in touch for we probably have a great deal to discuss and to share. Also visit our Web Site again real soon as we frequently update our site pages.
    We have related Oden and Clark information as well as Jimmie's Hopper line of descendants; but, we have practically nothing on the Dormans or the Floores; but, we are seeking all our family lines.
