Among the early New England Coopers was David Cooper, b. 1724. Married Sybil MATLACK, 1730-1757, on 2 month3, 1747 in Philadelphia. Sybil died at age 28. Among their children were daughters Martha, who married an ALLISON, and daughter Ann, who married a WOOD. Located in MS Coll 968 of Special Collections in the Library of Haverfor College are 19 boxes housing the ALLISON family papers. In Box 7b #65---COOPER, David 1724-1795. 34 items -Testimonial to him by daughter Martha Cooper ALLISON -Marriage certificate for marriage to Sybil Matlack of Philadelphia; married at Philadelphia 2 mo 3, 1747. #66.---COOPER, Sybil (MATLACK) 1730-1757. - Account of her vision by David COOPER, 1749. -Two poems by David COOPER concerning her vision and her death. #67---COOPER, William 1632-1710 -Copy dated 1762 of certificate of removal of Wm. and Margaret from Coleshill MM, Hertfordshire, to West New Jersy, 1678.

Although I didn't find it in the online catalog for Haverford College, footnoted in ALBION'S SEED by David Hackett Fischer, there is also a diary of Anne Whitall Cooper, as well as one of David Cooper. Since these records are extremely fragile, they may only be viewed/copied by special permission. But I am pretty certain I did see a note that they had been microfilmed, but, naturally, I can't find it right now. The stats on this David are amazingly similar to those of "our" David 1725-1792 from Spartanburgh, SC. He also is reported to have married in 1747. Daughter Rehab was b. in 1748. Is anybody researching or connected to the David Cooper married to Sybil Matlack? Can you identify the William? Yours Tree-ly Nancy Bray Cooper
