I am looking for information on the family of William Marion COOPER and his sister Ann. They were the children of William S. COOPER and Elizabeth Ann OATES. William S. died in 1850. They were married in Henry County Alabama. Any help on this will be gratefully appreciated. Who did William S. COOPER and Ann marry? Are their descendants still in the Wiregrass? Thank you Jacob L. Bateman III Montgomery, Alabama

I am going out of town for a week. I'll re-subscribe when I return Lucy Gray

Thank you Rose, that does help - or make for a lot more work on my Cooper line :-). We really hadn't looked beyond the area around Pultneyville/Williamson and looks like we had better extend our research. I have read the history of Pultneyville and Wayne Co. so knew there were probably Cooper's beyond where we have looked. We do think Nathaniel had a brothr named Benjamin in Oswego during the Civil War as there was correspondence according to a history of Ft. Collins, CO where the family lived at that time. Also, Benjamin had been in CO visiting Nathaniel & family. We had done the DNA test but have not found a match to date. Will just have to keep trying and follow every lead. Thank you so much for the information Carroll Carroll, There were six Coopers in Wayne Co., NY where the wife was born. This is where I would state John Cooper Ontario, Wayne, NY Parker Cooper Ontario, Wayne, NY Enoch Cooper Palmyra, Wayne, NY David Cooper Sodus, Wayne, NY Griffith Cooper Williamson, Wayne, NY Thomas Cooper, Willamson, Wayne, Ny This is the group that was in Wayne Co., NY in 1830 The county of Wayne was apart of Ontario, Seneca Counties and became a county in 1823 The county of Seneca was apart of Cayuga until 1804 The county of Ontario was apart of Montgomery until 1789 This is apart of New York, NY So in in 1790 Ananias Cooper John Cooper Joseph Cooper Thomas Cooper William Cooper Hope this helps, Rose ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Now that is an even bigger mystery. We (my sister and I - my partner in this research) think it was probably from the Dutch side, the Pepers, but don't really know for sure as we haven't found the name. Where does the middle name DeWitt come from? Rose ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

We are not sure but another researcher said it was either Parda or Pardee. There were Pardee's in the area an may be a lead but just not sure. The original lead was from a book on the Cowles by DuVall Cowles pub. 1929. It mentioned a ____ Cooper m. Sophia Lucinda Cowles in Pultneyville, 1835. I have traced the family all the way down to me as they gradually moved across the country until Nathaniel d in CO in 1870 and Sophia bought land in Baker co., Eastern Oregon and died there in 1893 (I tink it was off the top of my head). Carroll What does the P State for? Is this a lead?

(Clarissa married twice. Elizabeth McCafferty is a sister of Clarissa Cafferty) I also have the Peper line if you would like to have it. My main focus is to see if I can locate parentage of Nathaniel. The P. , his middle initial may be Parda or Pardee but have no proof. I don't know anything about a Sarah Cooper marrying a Peper. She doesn't show up in what my sister found, maybe a later generation. I will be gone from late today until June 3 so no hurry. I have seen pictures of the area around Pultneyville and see that it is very beautiful. I do so wish I could travel there but age (78) and distance make it impossible for me to do so. Thanks for any help you can give me Carroll Cooper Summers Oregon I have the deed indexes for the Coopers in Wayne County, and a listing of the wills also. Lets see what I can find for you by early next week. Griffith Cooper was a Quaker, active in the underground railroad, and had a hidden room in the top floor of his house. A lady by the name of Eleanor Fairbanks, alert at 96 or so, remembers playing there as a child. According to my Cousin Ken Cooper Sr, who passed away a couple of years ago, age 94 or so, remembers his father and one of the other Coopers trying to find a connection, but could not. Ken Sr. pointed out to me where the Coles or Cowles family lived, as they were neighbors. Griffith Cooper was descended from the Camden county, NJ, Coopers I think, and according to something I read, the progenitor of that family was a cousin to the Cooperstown Cooper family. Pultneyville is a beautiful hamlet on the coast of Lake Ontario, and it had a very active port at its beginning. Items were shipped back and forth to Canada, Oswego, a! nd other places. Pultneyville was very remote, and it was rough living, but as my cousin Ken said, the people that lived there, traveled a lot by water, which opened many other areas to them, and much more easily than traveling by foot or horse. Someone quite a few years ago asked me about a Sarah Cooper or French marrying a Pepper. Was that you? I would be interested in knowing more of your family names, perhaps we can crack this case.......Pauline, living about 20 miles from where my ancestors lived 200 years ago.... ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hi, I am sorry. Pultneyville, NY, is part of the township of Williamson, Wayne Co. Originally it was part of the County of Ontario until 1823 when the county of Wayne was formed. -------Original Message------- From: gsc Date: 05/25/07 09:12:05 To: cooper@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [COOPER] Coopers of Pultneyville What state ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pauline Harper" <perils@earthlink.net> To: <cooper@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 6:49 AM Subject: Re: [COOPER] Coopers of Pultneyville > Good Morning, I have been to the Historians office many, many times.

Hello I am searching for John Cooper b. 1835 possibly NY or Mass. then spent childhood in NY. The family moved to Zanesville, Muskingum County, Ohio. John Cooper married Mary Morgan b. 1835 in Ohio and had 4 children. I believe he survived the civil war but died shortly after. Do you have a John Cooper in your line? I recall early in my research a town named Brockport, NY. Is that at all near Poultney, NY? I am having difficulty locating my John Cooper 100% before 1860 census and not at all after. My Grandfather relocated our family to NY apx.1930after my Grandmother died. I always suspected the reason might be that we had relatives here but it also could have been because of the railroad. ---- Pauline Harper <perils@earthlink.net> wrote: > Hi, I am sorry.

Hi Pauline, I am interested what you know about your Coopers in Wayne County. You might be interested to know that Kathryn Fairbanks wrote an essay about Griffth M. Cooper, titled, "Williamson's Fighting Quaker". It is on the website of the Wayne County Office of the County Historian: http://www.co.wayne.ny.us/Departments/historian/HoffmanEssayIndex.htm The essay is downloadable as a .pdf file. It is a pretty huge file of about 19Mb. What I find interesting is that I am related to Kathryn Fairbanks through the Fairbanks line and am also descended from the Coopers, through Griffiths parents. I am not entirely convinced that Griffith Cooper's line and the Cooperstown line are related. There are a few sources stating that they are but I really have not spent much time trying to figure it out. Griffith Morgan Cooper's brother, Alexander Hamilton Cooper b. 1812 d. 1858 is buried at Lakeview Cemetery, Pultneyville along with his wife Rebecca E. I would appreciate your checking your deed indexes and wills to see if he is listed. I know a bit about AHC's daughters: 1. Martha Brown Cooper 1840-1916 m. John H. Teats 4 children 2. Rebecca Cooper 1851-1855 3. Anna Hamilton Cooper 1844-1896 m. Adoniram Juson Throop Griffith's & Alexander's parents are James B. Cooper & Rebecca Morgan. As I understand it James & Rebecca had eleven children altogether but I have only been able to find six of them so far. Here is a short obit for James B. Cooper. I have no idea why it appeared in an Ohio newspaper. _____________________________________________________________________________ Defiance Democrat, Defiance, Ohio, Saturday, March 11, 1854; page 4 Commander James B. Cooper, of the U. S. Navy, died at Haddonfield, N.J., on Sunday, the 5th, aged ninety-three years.

Good Morning, I have been to the Historians office many, many times. They have surname files containing correspondence and info collected on every surname they have info on. It is the best organized facility I have been to, and I have been to a lot of them. There, is also a large portrait of Griffith Cooper in the "Old Jail Museum" in Lyons that I saw a few years ago Eleanor Fairbanks would be a cousin of yours, and I believe the article you mention was written by her niece, but I could ask her. She is a lovely lady, age 90+, and has a lot of info on the Coopers and Fairbanks. Just for the record, one of my ancestors, who died ab 1834, had loaned money to a Fairbanks, and the Fairbanks had pre-deceased him, and it was noted in the will, so they must have been friends. I have a couple of notebooks of Cooper documentation, as I have a grandmother Mary Cooper, ab 1834, who married a Carlyle Waite ab 1858, they had one son Richard, and Carlyle died Christmas Day 1869, of consumption.Hope I have this right this am, because I am speaking from memory. It is certainly nice to meet you....I am going away for the weekend, but will get into my stuff next week....... -------Original Message------- From: Edward Sinker69 Date: 05/25/07 05:28:01 To: cooper@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [COOPER] Coopers of Pultneyville Hi Pauline, . I am interested what you know about your Coopers in Wayne County. You might be interested to know that Kathryn Fairbanks wrote an essay about Griffth M. Cooper, titled, "Williamson's Fighting Quaker". It is on the website of the Wayne County Office of the County Historian: http://www.co.wayne.ny.us/Departments/historian/HoffmanEssayIndex.htm The essay is downloadable as a .pdf file. It is a pretty huge file of about 19Mb. What I find interesting is that I am related to Kathryn Fairbanks through the Fairbanks line and am also descended from the Coopers, through Griffiths parents. I am not entirely convinced that Griffith Cooper's line and the Cooperstown line are related. There are a few sources stating that they are but I really have not spent much time trying to figure it out. Griffith Morgan Cooper's brother, Alexander Hamilton Cooper b. 1812 d. 1858 is buried at Lakeview Cemetery, Pultneyville along with his wife Rebecca E. I would appreciate your checking your deed indexes and wills to see if he is listed. I know a bit about AHC's daughters: 1. Martha Brown Cooper 1840-1916 m. John H. Teats 4 children 2. Rebecca Cooper 1851-1855 3. Anna Hamilton Cooper 1844-1896 m. Adoniram Juson Throop Griffith's & Alexander's parents are James B. Cooper & Rebecca Morgan. As I understand it James & Rebecca had eleven children altogether but I have only been able to find six of them so far. Here is a short obit for James B. Cooper. I have no idea why it appeared in an Ohio newspaper. _____________________________________________________________________________ Defiance Democrat, Defiance, Ohio, Saturday, March 11, 1854; page 4 Commander James B. Cooper, of the U. S. Navy, died at Haddonfield, N.J., on Sunday, the 5th, aged ninety-three years. He entered the naval service on the 9th day of July, 1812, as sailing master, and after the peace; received a lieutenant's commission from President Mon- roe, and in September, 1841 became a com- mander. He was the last survivor of "Lee's Legion," so celebrated in the revolutionary war, and participated in many of the exciting scenes, during the struggle for independence. ____________________________________________________________________________ Do you have any clue as to why so many people from New Jersey settled in the Williamson area? - Ed ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to COOPER-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I have the deed indexes for the Coopers in Wayne County, and a listing of the wills also. Lets see what I can find for you by early next week. Griffith Cooper was a Quaker, active in the underground railroad, and had a hidden room in the top floor of his house. A lady by the name of Eleanor Fairbanks, alert at 96 or so, remembers playing there as a child. According to my Cousin Ken Cooper Sr, who passed away a couple of years ago, age 94 or so, remembers his father and one of the other Coopers trying to find a connection, but could not. Ken Sr. pointed out to me where the Coles or Cowles family lived, as they were neighbors. Griffith Cooper was descended from the Camden county, NJ, Coopers I think, and according to something I read, the progenitor of that family was a cousin to the Cooperstown Cooper family. Pultneyville is a beautiful hamlet on the coast of Lake Ontario, and it had a very active port at its beginning. Items were shipped back and forth to Canada, Oswego, and other places. Pultneyville was very remote, and it was rough living, but as my cousin Ken said, the people that lived there, traveled a lot by water, which opened many other areas to them, and much more easily than traveling by foot or horse. Someone quite a few years ago asked me about a Sarah Cooper or French marrying a Pepper. Was that you? I would be interested in knowing more of your family names, perhaps we can crack this case.......Pauline, living about 20 miles from where my ancestors lived 200 years ago....

Hi Perils The recent correspondence came about because I had sent some info to another Cooper researcher re: my grgr grandparents, Nathaniel P. and Sophia Lucinda Cowles Cooper who m. in Pultneyville about 1835. Still trying to find parentage of Nathaniel. I think you and I have corresponded before on this question and you apparently rule out your Thomas as there is no Nathaniel mentioned. That leaves Peter and Jos. (Joseph?) listed in the 1810 census with two boys each under 10. This would fit Nathaniel's age group as he was b about 1806. I am thinking of trying to find wills or probate records for both men but am not sure where to send for them. Can you tell me? I know you live somewhere near to Pultneyville (or did the last time we spoke) and maybe are familiar with what is available. We don't have any matches on my brother's DNA test either so we must be following different lines of Coopers. Thanks Carroll Cooper Summers Oregon I, too, am researching the coopers of Pultneyville, NY. Thomas Cooper, wf Mary purchased land ab 1814, listed in tax records of 1817, gave land to children of his deceased son Peter Cooper, wf Amie Conk, who were married in 1801 in Monmouth County, NJ. I believe the Joseph listed in the 1810 census was washed overboard in an accident in the Oswego Harbor in 1816, according to a newspaper clipping I found. I have massive amounts of info, and my cousin Ken did the dna test for the Cooper line, but we have no connections yet. Descendents of Thomas sold land to another Cooper in Williamson for the Quaker building, but did not refer to him as cousin, brother, etc..All this from memory, but I missed a lot of the postings because I have been traveling. One of the children of the Thomas Cooper line was a Maurice. Other names are Cottrell, Conk, Harrison, (Harris), Waite, Alsop, Lewis, Grandin. Let me get out my files.... ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Cooper list, William L. Cooper was born in Florida in 1855-1860. He married Mary Elizabeth Mathis or Matthews. She is buried in the churchyard of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Quincy, Florida. William was a sawmiller in 1910 in Quincy, Florida. Legend states death date from 1931 - 1937. Don't know his parent's name. One census records his father's birth place as South Carolina, another records Florida as birth place. Any help will be appreciated. EvelynChiles@msn.com

An Erastus Cooper appears on several censuses. Erastus is a quite common name; never heard of Euastus. ----- Original Message ----- From: "j" <dragonfly@atlantic.net> To: <COOPER@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 4:27 PM Subject: [COOPER] Euastus Cooper > Not to sure on the spelling of Euastus ,, It is hard to read on the old > cenus paper.. looking for Euastus Cooper ,, had a son William Cooper b > about 1835ish..
