In response to your question "could Sarah, the wife of James West Cooper, have been the daughter of Elijah L. Sproles?"
This seems unlikely. Elijah Lofton Sproles was born about 1823. He is listed in the 1850 census with his wife Nancy, age 19,but no children in the house and in 1860 he is listed with wife Nancy and two children, Alfonse and Eliza.By 1870 Nancy has died and he has remarried Malinda Brownlee and he still has no daughter named Sarah.
Elijah Lofton Sproles was the son of Richard Sproles.Reportedly Elijah had an older sister, Sarah, b. about 1813, who married Wyatt N. Covington.Wyatt and Sarah are in the 1850 Holmes Co., MS census and have a daughter, Sarah, born about 1843.
Richard Sproles was my g-g-g-grandfather and if he is also your ancestor and you would like additional information you may contact me, [email protected].
