Adam received 2 land grants in Fairfield Co, SC to the right of the Broad River, one adjoined the land of a Peter Cooper and the other adjoined the property of Andrew Feaster who was his stepfather. Both Adam and Andrew were of the dunkard faith, otherwise known as German Baptists, and they both were described as having very long, white beards.
This is the Liberty Universalist Church in Feasterville, SC. Since the actual church building was erected in 1832 by Andrew Feaster's son, it is likely that Adam Cooper also attended this church.
