I thank you very much for this critical information. I believe this may be a solution to a brick wall for me, and you have helped me scale it!!! With so many Thos Coopers in early New England, it is quite a task to sort them. I have Coopers and Culvers near Palmyra, NY, and my mothers family is Conkling. She said the families knew each other before she met my dad 70 years ago, so this could be a connection.
