Hi Zelma Cooper Anderson What a coincidence. My dad's sister was also named Zelma Cooper Fessler. She was born in Portland, Oregon, 19 Apr. 1908, d 24 Oct 1994 in CA. My sister and I have searched for years trying to find the parentage of our gr gr grandfather, Nathaniel P. Cooper (we think the P stands for Parda or Pardee but are not sure). Nathaniel was b somewhere in NY about 1806, d. Apr. 1870 Ft. Collins, CO.. We think he was probably b. near Pultneyville as that is where he married in 1835 to Sophia Cowles. They had 7 children. Sophia was b. 1819. the dau. of Russell Cowles. He was b CT but where and parentage is unknown. Sophia d. in Baker Co., Oregon, 27, Nov. 1893. These are a couple of our brick walls. Since you have been researching the Cooper's for a very long time I wondered if you might have any information on Nathaniel. (I'm 78 and losing my eyesight but am going to keep on searching as long as I am able to do so. And the coincidence in names was too good to pass up writing to you) Carroll Cooper Summers Salem, Oregon I HAVE AN ALICE AND ch Alcy aand Elcy Would love a Cooper picture HOw much to send to Zelma Cooper Anderson, 31 Farview Ave, Old Saybrook, CT 06475.

Hello Shelly! While my research is most definitely COOPER related my journey has taken me to the Zanesville, Ohio area where my ancestors lived in about the same time period as your photo; not to Pennsylvania. My most recent search is for my gr gr gr Grandfather, John Cooper b. 1835 in Massachusetts, moved to New York and then onto the Zanesville, Bearfield, and Roseville area in Muskingum County, Ohio. I'm almost positive your photo doesn't belong in my branch of the Coopers. However the name Moore caught my eye. It was my gr gr Grandmother's maiden name. Ohio though , not Pennsylvania. Your photo does sound like a marvelous find and I hope you do have luck in finding out where it belongs. It would be a shame for a treasure like that to get lost again. Have a great day!

Hi All, I have a small enigma concerning one of my Ancestors . Roland COOPER emigrated from Hoylake, Cheshire County, England, with his Wife and Family. In fact Roland COOPER and his wife, Martha Ann COOPER appeared on the 1930 census for Baltimore, Maryland, USA together with their children - Anita, Allan and Fred. So far so good. I have recently received the following MI (Memorial Inscription) from Holy Trinity Churchyard, Hoylake, Cheshire County, England.:-- D12, 25 COOPER, RUSHTON White Marble Kerbstone, White Marble Tablet Lead Lettering. In loving memory of my Dear Parents Martha Ann COOPER who died 17th. Feb 1960. Also Raymond her Dear Husband who died 20th. Jan 1964. Also Alice RUSHTON Dear Sister of Martha Ann who died August 1909. Any information on this Family between 1930 and 1960 would be gratefully received . Ricky Cooper, Cheshire County, England.

Hello All, My Great Uncle Thomas Powell COOPER was born 1904 in AL. He joined the Merchant Marines at an early age. He was one of a few survivors of the torpedoing of the SS CHATHAM. He almost froze to death in 20 minutes and took over a year to heal. Due to that experience, he designed life boat improvements and inventing some other things. He travelled everywhere and always sent post cards to his sisters (my grandma & great aunt). They had pretty stamps that I admired as a child. One is a card of Jack Dempsey and he mentions the new car speed record being set in 1965 by Jim Clark (170+ mph). Only a few cards survived as listed below.

My only problem is I haven't found any concrete proof of that theory Hi Russell, It does seem highly likely that your Jonathan was the son of the Jonathan that married Sarah Stockdale being that they are from Bucks County. Have you checked all of the available Quaker records? As I recall there were two lines of Coopers in Bucks County in the early days. The other Cooper line was the one that the famous writer James Fenimore Cooper descended from. James Fenimore Cooper married a Hibbs girl who as I recall was the neice of Sarah Hibbs who married our Jonathan Cooper Senior on March 31, 1714. So it appears that the descendants of both of these Cooper lines share a common ancestor in the person of William Hibbs, a quaker, formally of Gloucestershire, England who was buried in 1709 in Byberry Cemetary in the same year that our Jonathan's father William Cooper was buried there. I believe I gave you some bad information when I said that William Coopers wife Thomasine Porter was Jonathans step mother. She was his mother and she evidently died sometime before 1699 and the voyage to America. When I was in Richmond England where these Coopers were last from, the town historian and I were able to find the location of the old Quaker Cemetary that Thomasine may be buried in. It was interesting in that we found it by overlaying a centuries old map onto a modern map after sizing it with a copy machine. The cemetary today is under the large manicured front lawn of a retirement home on what has been know as Quaker Street for centuries. Everyone at the home to include the historian were surprised to find out that a cemetary had been there all of those years.

Hi Danny, I have reason to believe that my Jonathan is descended from the Jonathan Cooper born in Richmond, Yorkshire, England, through his son Jonathan who married Sarah Stockdale. My only problem is I haven't found any concrete proof of that theory. The Jonathan from Berwick is my GGG grandfather on my mother's side.

Hi Cooper researchers...This message brings up some questions for me, in the line of Coopers. I have a Sampson Cooper born in Ripon , Yorkshire England in 1592. He had sons, Sampson, William (who died very young) and Jonathan. Sampson was born april 30, 1592, he died in the colonies in 1658, leaving his wife and one son, Jonathan in England. His underage son, Samuel, was with him when he died. In his will he leaves property in England to his wife and son Jonathan. At the time of his death, his son Jonathan was "lately in the occupation of Alderman Warwicke", meaning he was a Commissioner or Councilman in the County of Warwick. He must have been at least 18/21 to hold this position. In his will, Sampson requests that his son Samuel be apprenticed to a Mr Cocke, a SilverSmith in London. Samuel later is in residence in Yorktown Virginia (1691)with his wife Elizabeth Isles, daughter of Thomas Isles. I have followed this Samuel Cooper down to the present day, and our Coopers have taken the DNA test. Samuel had a son Isles, who had son John. This John had several sons, three who had decendants that took the DNA test and all match... The big question is this: We have three groups of Coopers who match our DNA, that Could have come from the decendants of Sampson's brother Jonathan....I have not followed Jonathans line after Sampson left England. I would like very much to tie these lines together. Do you know if any of these Coopers you mentioned have taken the DNA test??? A possible connection could be with the William who came to the Americas with his son Jonathan in 1699. ( William perhaps being a son of the Jonathan,a brother to Samuel???) Age wise this seem likely... Anyone have any more info to tie this together?? Later...Joyce > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <Dbyrd000@aol.com> > To: <cooper@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 9:46 PM > Subject: Re: [COOPER] The enigmatic Jonathan Cooper, Pennsylvania > > >> >> In a message dated 4/16/2007 10:32:59 AM Eastern Daylight Time, rdh@epix.net >> writes: >> >> I'm searching for any information concerning Jonathan Cooper, born in >> Bucks County, PA, moved to Berwick, Columbia County, PA cir. 1797-1800. >> >> >> >> Hi Russell, >> >> Your Jonathan Cooper could be descended from the family of Jonathan Cooper >> born 11 Jan 1675 in Richmond, near Leyburn, Yorkshire England and died 12 >> February 1769 in Byberry P.P., Abington, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
