Hi Carroll, Thank you for your reply, pointing out how you know that Sophia COWLES husband is Nathaniel P. COOPER, plus the additional useful and interesting information about your family. I do think that there is a fair chance that Nathaniel might belong to the Salem/Camden County, NJ, COOPERS, even if he was born in New York State. I did notice a couple of your 'deliberate' :-) mistakes, just to see if I read it carefully, such as your father, Maurice DeWitt COOPER being born in 1804 rather than 1904. Getting back to Pultneyville, Wayne Co., New York, I sometimes get a little confused about Williamson the village and Williamson the township. Pultneyville & Williamson are both in the Town of Williamson, so when I see that my COOPERS, Griffith & Alexander are mentioned as being in Williamson, it could and does at times mean that they are actually in the village of Pultneyville rather than the village of Williamson but they are so close together that it does really makes much difference. So, anyhow, I tried finding your Russell COWLES, father of Sophia in Pultneyville and anywhere in Wayne County but couldn't find a reference to him, until it suddenly dawned on me that he was being referred to as Russell COLES. Now that you wrote that it is pronounced as Kolz, the spelling of COLES is understandable. See if you agree with me...... ___________________________________________________________________________________ Source: Military history of Wayne County, N.Y. : the County in the Civil War Sodus, N.Y by Lewis H. Clark, published by Hulett & Gaylord, 1883 page 216 [I think this is about 1814] ............The British soldiers, who are said to have landed from their Batteaux with unloaded guns, loaded forthwith. There was a scattering of both sides. In the scuffle the British seized as prisoners, Richard White, bartender; PRESCOTT FAIRBANKS, Mr. Ledyards clerk, and RUSSEL COLE. The latter jumped away in front of Ledyards store, dashed around it to the creek and swam over to the other side.........Not many minutes elapsed before the enemy, having loaded and regained their boats, commenced a scattering of musketry fire, paying their particular respects to the bushes into which RUSSELL COLE had escaped........ The prisoners White and FAIRBANKS were taken away and sent to Halifax. It was some months before they were released...... Fairbanks was the son of Rev. Eleazer Fairbanks the early Presbyterian minister of Palmyra who settled at what is still known as FairbanksPoint east of Pultneyville.....RUSSELL COLE was a blacksmith by trade and also a gunsmith; an ingenious mechanic and withal something of a hunter. He could make a rifle and use it. He married a daughter of Deacon Abraham PEPPER. [The reason I put PRESCOTT FAIRBANKS in capital letters, is because his grandson, also named Prescott Fairbanks, married MARY ELIZA COOPER, in 1868 and she is the daughter of James B. COOPER & Sarah ROGERS & James B. is the son of GRIFFITH MORGAN COOPER whom I mentioned in my previous message, who was born in 1791 in Haddonfield, New Jersey.] _________________________________________________________________________________ Source: Landmarks of Wayne County, New York by George Washington COWLES, published by D.

[So this helps to explain why my New Jersey Cooper relations were in Wayne County but I wonder why a lot came from NJ to up State New York in the first place? G.W.

Pultneyville, Wayne County, New York, was once a busy port on Lake Ontario, and many of its residents were seamen. This Monument erected to the memory of Lake Captains of the vicinity, was dedicated in 1930. A list of the names is given.

First Settler "Yankee Bill" Waters, a hunter, lived here in 1804." ..............Samuel Throop......RUSSELL COLE...... Horatio N. Throop......John H. Ledyard.....Milton Fairbanks.....etc. [I don't think that they are suggesting that these gentlemen were French. I included the Troop gents because one of their relations, Adoniram Judson Throop married Anna Hamilton COOPER at Pultneyville in 1878, she being the daughter of Alexander Hamilton COOPER brother of Griffith Morgan COOPER. The Fairbanks is also a relation of the Prescott Fairbanks who married Mary Eliza COOPER, mentioned previously. The connection here seems to be that they were mariners which is what Griffith Morgan Cooper claimed to be, having been in the US Navy, as were his brothers and his father.] ________________________________________________________________________ I hope that some of this information is of interest to you. I know I have not proven a connection between your Nathaniel P. COOPER and my Coopers but think that I have made a case for his possibly being from that line of Coopers. I have another question to ask you. Where do you think that the DEWITT name comes from? - Ed

My late husband's grandmother's maiden name was COOPER. As far as I can learn, her father JOHN and his family settled in and around Coles County Illinois.

Yes, Joan. My great-greatgrandfather was Sterling Cooper who was born in Wake County North Carolina in 1826. He came to Illinois via Indiana and died Coles County Illinois and is buried in Clark County Illinois. His father's name was Benjamin and he was also born in North Carolina but that is as far back as I know.

Donna, My GGGF George B Cooper is my brickwall. He was in Pulaski County KY in 1812 with a Margaret Cooper I had thought it might be his mother but could be his sister. In the HIstory of Pulaksi County KY both George B and Margaret and another George Cooper were listed as members of the same church. Do you remember who sent you the Peter (Keiffer ) Cooper line? One of my Uncles did a DNA kit and we connected to a Michael Cooper who has PA roots but we never connected famalies. I have one census that lists Goerge B as born in PA but the rest has him listed as born in VA. I think I read at one time some parts of VA were PA or vice versa. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Suzette Northcutt Rhodes My mother was a Cooper Donna Cuzze <dcuzze@earthlink.net> wrote: Sorry I am of no help.

Shelley -----Original Message----- From: cooper-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cooper-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Edward Sinker Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 4:03 AM To: cooper@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [COOPER] COOPER Family Photograph Hi Carroll, Thank you for your reply, pointing out how you know that Sophia COWLES husband is Nathaniel P. COOPER, plus the additional useful and interesting information about your family. I do think that there is a fair chance that Nathaniel might belong to the Salem/Camden County, NJ, COOPERS, even if he was born in New York State. I did notice a couple of your 'deliberate' :-) mistakes, just to see if I read it carefully, such as your father, Maurice DeWitt COOPER being born in 1804 rather than 1904. Getting back to Pultneyville, Wayne Co., New York, I sometimes get a little confused about Williamson the village and Williamson the township. Pultneyville & Williamson are both in the Town of Williamson, so when I see that my COOPERS, Griffith & Alexander are mentioned as being in Williamson, it could and does at times mean that they are actually in the village of Pultneyville rather than the village of Williamson but they are so close together that it does really makes much difference. So, anyhow, I tried finding your Russell COWLES, father of Sophia in Pultneyville and anywhere in Wayne County but couldn't find a reference to him, until it suddenly dawned on me that he was being referred to as Russell COLES. Now that you wrote that it is pronounced as Kolz, the spelling of COLES is understandable.

The latter jumped away in front of Ledyards store, dashed around it to the creek and swam over to the other side.........Not many minutes elapsed before the enemy, having loaded and regained their boats, commenced a scattering of musketry fire, paying their particular respects to the bushes into which RUSSELL COLE had escaped........
