Beth, Thank you for your note. I'm afraid I don't have many additional "leads". Most of my COOPER information has been obtained through LDS tapes. Although I grew up in New Jersey, I haven't had a chance to go back to do any research on the premises, so to speak. Just today I learned, through the NJ marriage listings, that Gilbert's father was named Michael COOPER. Very exciting. Now if I can just sift him out from the myraid of other COOPER's probably in New York State where Gilbert was born. Good luck with your research.

Hello list, I am looking for information on Cornelius COOPER born approximately 1800-1825, probably in England. Married Betsy CURRY and had daughter Amy Eliza COOPER in England in 1842. Possibly emigrated to the United States and settled in New York as Amy went on to marry Walter Harrison RODGER who served in the Civil War. Looking for siblings and ancestors of above COOPERs. Thanks, Rodger Airey, Marlton, NJ

Good Morning, Thank you for the input. Just wish I could add to what I have written. But I seem to have been at a brick wall for what seems like years and years. What I do have is from the book by John Little, "First Settlers of the Passaic Valley" Since I am not able to have but a very few of my records with me, I do not happen to have that particular book today. I will have to have my son find it for me and bring it to me. I am hopeing to be able to make a trip to N. J., which is more or less a dream, to do research. I will also be searching for information on Capt. John Maxwell and his wife Eunice Osborn, Luke and Lucas Van Buskirk, -- Luke married Capt. John Maxwell daughter Elizabeth --- and the Howell family. I do have some on the rest of these family lines but the Cooper family always seem to be the dead end search. I would really like to see just what might be found if I could just go there. However, I live in the very corner of N. W. Washington, a short distant from Canada. So, it will be about a two month research trip for me if I get to go. Perhaps, if you would send me a list of leads, I would be able to keep an eye open for information that you would like to have. It is never to early to start planning this long of a trip.

Hi Beth and Zelma, I have been reading your correspondence with great interest. I think if all of us with COOPER interests in New Jersey get together, we'll find some links some time. I'd appreciate any information on a Gilbert M COOPER and family. My Gilbert M. COOPER, 1804-1883, lived in Pompton, Passaic county at least from 1840 on. He was born in New York, possibly Rockland County. He married twice, Catharine and Mary. A daughter from his first marriage to Catharine was my great grandmother Elizabeth. She later married Isaac TOMPKINS and they lived in Pompton then Paterson in Passaic. Most of Gilbert's children were daughters, but there was one son, Harvey. Thanks for reading this, love to hear from you. Beverly Fearn Porter, Columbia, Maryland

I am searching for the following family:- Fred COOPER (nothing further known apart from the fact that he may have died somewhere in New Zealand), he married a Mary Elizabeth McINTYRE (1869-1937). Mary was born and died in Welligton, North Island, New Zealand. They had 2 children that I know of being that i presume were born in New Zealand:- Leonard married Edie ?. (nothing further known) Charles married Phyliss FELLINGHAM (nothig further known). Also the followig family:- Albert COOPER who was born in the late 1880's in Australia (exact location unknown) he married a Charlotte ANDERSON (1891-?) born Indigo, Victoria, Australia. They had one child that i know of and that was a Raymond COOPER. Nothing further known about Raymond. And last but not least the followig family Henry COOPER born and died in Cambridgshire England (dates unknown) he married a Mary SARGENSON (dates unknown) who was also born in Cambridgeshire England.

This is all that I have on these families and was wondering are they conected in any way. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Murray.
