According to a cousin, I am related to James Fenimore Cooper. She remembers that at the family reunions the Delaware Coopers always read the family history. The Coopers were supposedly from England. One brother supposedly came over in 1687. I am a descendent of Samuel G. Cooper, born November 30, 1839, in Lancaster co., PA. According to a census in West Earl Township, Lancaster co. 1850: Jacob Cooper 44 M Blacksmith 1600 Elizabeth 38 F Eliza 18 F Jacob 16 M Blacksmith Samuel 11 M Daniel 8 M George 5 M Mary Ann 2 F At the residence above was George Cooper 70 M Laborer. I believe he might be related to Jacob Cooper. Jacob is most likely the father of Samuel G. Cooper. Any help would be very much appreciated, Kelly Selcher _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
