Tom, As per first paragraph of Chapter 4 as follows: The first John Cooper of this clan, was the first son of the first Fleet Cooper, who was born in 1748, in Sampson County, NC. He was a soldier in Revolution. Further on--he married Zylpha Williams, second daughter of John Williams, of Duplin County. N.C.

Does anyone have an "America" in their records? She was born 21 Nov., 1825 in Indiana. Married 1851 to Earl Rodney SMITH. Died 1873. That is about all I know about her, and have been searching for her parents for three years. Any suggestions helpful. Ione in CA

> > Beth, > It appears you are researching the same Cooper line as me ("Moses and James > Cooper (brothers) of Dover, N. J. were the son of John who came from Haverstraw, N. Y. at an early date"). But if your source was the J. P. Crayon book (History of the Cooper Family - pub. 1890's), beware that some of us have found major errors in those lines. Crayon stated that there were 4 "brothers," sons of John who settled in Haverstraw, NY, and that the family was Dutch. That statement has sent me on many a wild goose chase and > I haven't been able to confirm it. For instance, they may have SAILED from Holland, and there are other Cooper lines who were originally Dutch Kuyper's, but I really don't think this line is. Also, I don't believe these guys were actual brothers. Crayon relied > heavily on personal interviews with the elder Coopers who were alive in that > area of NJ/NY in the late 1890's.

Elizabeth COOPER married David Spartan HOLDER; they are bur. at PORTER's Chapel Methodist Church, Pickens Co., SC. Elizabeth COOPER was b. 11/18/1869 and died in 1958. She was known to us as "Big Mama" when we were children, even though she was a small woman! She was my great-great aunt, but was also the great-grandmother of a close cousin. [I find my lines often cross each other several times!] Does anyone know who Elizabeth COOPER HOLDER's parents were? I have a COOPER line in Spartanburg Co., but do not have any idea if this line ties in with the other COOPER line. The Spartanburg line is also another David (COOPER, not HOLDER) and his wife, Elizabeth WILDER (1726-1792). They lived on Thickety Creek in Spartanburg Co., SC. I would appreciate any help on the first Elizabeth COOPER who married David Spartan HOLDER. Godspeed... Dolores Miller Pringle...still searching for the parents of Lewis HOLDER, b. 1827, poss.

You will find a manuscript of the Cooper Family by Thomas w. Cooper,ll at New England Historic Genealogical Society Library ,101 Newbury Street, Boston. Mr. Cooper list sources for all his information. This will be on the desecendants of John & Wibroe(Griggs) Cooper who were on the "Hopewell" 1635 . Hope this is what you looking for. Charlotte Killian

As said in an earlier post I searched through the Cooper list archive this morning. However I could not figure out as I was reading when we first had a Cooper in America and where. I noticed a particular line mentioned as being the first, James Cooper, who came from England to New Jersey. Is this correct? I also noticed several times a reference to a genealogy of Coopers that had been written. I'd like more information about this source. Is this a purchase that would be worthwhile? Is it considered to be fairly accurate? Thanks to everyone. Gwen Brooks Atlanta, GA

I read through the archives for the Cooper list this morning trying to get some ideas about my ancestor William Stephens Cooper, b. 1810? in NC who migrated to Webster/Marion Co. Georgia and married Elizabeth Bacon around 1840. I thought I would search under their younger son's name, Fleet Wood Cooper(b. 1859 in GA), since it is unusual and probably a family name. It turned out that was the name to look for. I, of course, learned that Fleet is a family name. I would love to hear from someone who could advise me on how significant the Fleet name is to the Cooper clan and does anyone know where it came from? Can I pretty much assume that the Fleet name was passed within the same line of Coopers or does it show up hither & yon in other Cooper lines? Gwen Brooks Atlanta, GA

I am sure there are several COOPERs by that time or before. Further down in the family the name FLEET comes in but I cant give you a direct connection..maybe someone on line can tie it in for you....later..joyce
