I do have names and private information for the next generation of family members descended from Wm. Edward and both Rachel Ann and Julia Ann Curless, but will not post them here for privacy reasons.
I will post photos and some details about Wm. Edward and Rachel Ann's 3rd son, my grandfather, Wm. Walter Cooper.
Keep tuned...
