Hi - I am attempting to find the parents and birthplace of Nathanial Cooper, b in New York state about 1806. He may have had a brother, Benjamin that lived in Oswego Co. NY. Nathaniel married Sophia Lucinda Cowles, (dau of Russell Cowles (b Conn) and Willhemina (b Holland) abt 1835 in Pultneyville, Wayne Co., NY. Sophia b abt 1819. Nathaniel and Sophia had their first child DeWitt Henry in PA in 1836, James FitzJames in KY in 1839 then several more in Washington, Washington Co., Iowa. Nathaniel d 1870 in Ft Collins, CO, Sophia came to Oregon abt 1874/5 with her oldest son's, a younger daughter and several gr children - among them my grandfather, Guy Colin Scott Cooper. Any help on the parentage of Nathaniel or further info on any of this line would be appreciated. Thank you Carroll (Cooper) Summers Oregon
