William m. Ann G. Robarts who is buried with him in the Scruggs Family Cemetery at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Jefferson Co., FL. The cemetery is off Florida route 158 between Aucilla and Drifton, and is on the Lewis farm. William is reputed to be the first Baptist missionary to Florida. See http://www.roperld.com/BenKin/298700.rtf for his genealogy. A family note states: "William B. Cooper, Hamburg Church, South Carolina, to Jasper (Hamilton County), Florida - Historical sec., Statson Univ."
James Scruggs posted in the Ancestry.com message board 17 Feb 2000:
"William B. Cooper was born 26 Apr 1807 in Abbeville, South Carolina, the son of Joseph Cooper (1777-1842) and Sarah Ann Franklin (1788-1874).
"His father Joseph, born in Winchester, Virginia, of Quaker parents Jeremiah Cooper and Rebecca Perrill, and his mother Sarah Ann believed to have been born in Maryland of parents William Temple Franklin and Abigail Brauner, reportedly came to the Abbeville/Laurens area before 1805, settling on acreage near the Rabons Creek Quaker Meetinghouse. It was here that Wm B. and his fifteen siblings would receive their early education and religious training.
"Wm B. is reported to have attended Furman Institute, South Carolina for two years followed by two years at Columbian College, Washington, DC before answering a call to the Baptist ministry. His first ministry was at Hamburg, South Carolina where he is reported to have experienced a rheumatic condition, causing him to seek a milder clime to the south.
"Removing to the Territory of Florida ca. 1833-36, Wm B. appears first in Hamilton County as a member of Concord Baptist Church near present day Jennings, and next serving on the initial presbytery of a proposed arm of Concord, the Prospect Primitive Baptist Church in eastern Hamilton County. It was apparently at this point that his Missionary beliefs caused him to abandon the Primitive tenet, and in 1838 take a pastorship at newly constituted Hickstown Baptist Church in nearby Madison County. Assuming a commanding role in the Florida's Missionary movement along the Florida/Georgia corridor, he next became the first pastor of Little River/Troupville Baptist Church near present day Valdosta, Georgia, and in consort with Georgias Baptist leaders strove to turn the tide against the Missionary movement, becoming known in the annals of Florida Baptist history as 'the first Missionary Baptist preacher of Florida'.
"Now holding two active pastorates some 25 miles apart, on 22 Sep 1841 Wm B. married Ann Griffin Robarts in Jasper, Hamilton County, Florida. Ann G. was born 1 May 1824 near Midway in Liberty County, Georgia, the second of twelve issue of William Robarts (1781-1849) and Sarah Elizabeth Law (1805-aft.1869). Since her parents/grandparents had been active in the Midway Congregational Church, it would appear that Ann G. possessed the attributes for the role as wife of a circuit riding Missionary.
"Following the arrival of their first child, he removed the young family to the Little River/Troupville area of Lowndes County where they would remain in residence until 1852-53. While at Troupville, several arms in outlying areas were added to the main church requiring Wm B. to travel long distances by horseback, often times in adverse weather, to/from his several pastorates along the corridor. At least two of his sisters joined his household during this time, Rebecca Perrill and Elizabeth Isabelle, Rebecca marrying Berry Jones of that area and Elizabeth later marrying his Church Clerk, William H. Scruggs, at Ebenezer in Jefferson County, Florida.
"Wm B. and Ann G. were blessed with four more children while at Troupville, which ultimately would consist of the following:
"1. Sarah Eugenia: b. 5 Nov 1842, Hamilton Co, FL, d. 20 May 1923, Manatee Co, FL; m. Randolph Ridgely Beville, Sr., 15 Feb 1871, Jefferson Co, FL.
"2. Margaretta Frances: b. 16 Mar 1845, Lowndes Co, GA, d. 20 Jan 1885, Boston, Thomas Co, GA; m. Richard Scruggs, 2 May 1869, Jefferson Co, FL.
"3. Ann H.: b. 24 Jun 1846, Lowndes Co, GA, d. 16 Feb 1863, Jefferson Co, FL
"4. Franklin Law: b. 29 Oct 1848, Lowndes Co, GA, d. 26 Mar 1860, Jefferson Co, FL.
"5. William B., Jr: b. 28 Aug 1850, Lowndes Co, GA, d. 20 Jul 1934, Comanche Co, TX; m. M.L. Janetta (Nettie) McCarty, 27 Feb 1876, Comanche Co, TX.
"6. Juliett A.: b. 8 Nov 1854, Jefferson Co, FL, d. 3 Jul 1929, Hillsborough Co, FL; m. M.P. Smith, 20 Sep 1892, Citrus Co, FL."
