In this line -- James' alto parts (most of which were written by S. M. Denson) -- I changed "most" to "many". Warren Steel's new book, The Makers of the Sacred Harp, indicates nearly as many altos were taken from the Cooper Book as were written by S. M. Denson, and that other altos were borrowed from Christian Harmony and the Hesperian Harp. So "most" is not an apt description. Rlvaughn (talk) 21:08, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Cooper married first a woman named Zelphia, last name unknown." This sentence may be in error. In the 1870 Henry County census, Marion Cooper is found living next door to his mother and step-father. It is likely that the Zilphia A. Cooper who is "keeping house" and counted in his household is actually his sister (spelled Zilphy in the 1860 Dale County, AL census). In the absence of finding a marriage to a "Zilphia (Unknown)", I recommend we remove this information. Thoughts? - Rlvaughn (talk) 00:43, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It sounds like a good idea to me. Opus33 (talk) 18:10, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
