Mary Ann Cadwallader.--- John Cooper was the father of Mrs. Mary Ann Cadwallader. He was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, where he continued to reside until his death, which was at an advanced age. Charles Cooper, the grandfather of Mrs. Cadwallader, came to the United States as a British soldier, but turned in with the Americans, and did his country honor, and rendered good service until the close of the war, when he located his residence in Chester county, Pennsylvania, where he lived an honored and respected life until his death, which was at a very old age. John Cooper was the father of five children, three girls and two sons -- two now living in Ohio, two in Illinois, and one still in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Cadwallader, the third child, married William S. Cadwallader in the year 1833, and in the year 1834 left Pennsylvania and settled in Indiana, and lived there two years, when they moved to Ohio and stayed there about fifteen months, when they came to Illinois in the year 1837, and in the year 1838 settled in Ellisville, Fulton county, Illinois, where she has resided ever since. William S. Cadwallader died in the year 1868, in Ellisville, of consumption. Mrs. Cadwallader is the mother of seven children, all sons -- five now living in this county, and doing well. Mrs. Cadwallader had two sons in the late war -- J. W., and Wm. Henry. Wm. Henry was taken prisoner at Fort Donaldson, by the rebels, and confined eight months, when he was paroled, and both he and his brother honorably discharged, and are now at home with their mother. Mrs. Cadwallader and her family are much respected by all their neighbors. She has a good farm on Spoon river, and her sons are good farmers.
