Ben Jones / Cooter Davenport

You forget him.

Hi, all Ben Jones responded to a letter of mine today. Let me tell I have never heard a more gracius person in my life. I had told him about my problems with alcohol, (5 yrs sober!). He responded to my letter, with a note. I don't want to make any promises, but I hope to be at Dukesfest.

anyone know how old Cooter was? i know i sound stupid asking, but i was wondering because i always thought that he was kind of the same ages with Bo Luke and daisy but then i read something about him havin a daughter so i was just wonering if y'all could help that'd be great

This article is shared for Dukes of Hazzard related purposes as it applies to a cast member. 'Nuff said. Khee...the bloodhounds were a nice t…

Throughout the Dukes series cooter was replaced every once in a while by one of his various cousins..... My question is why is the real reason Ben Jones was not in these episodes?
