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....
