Abner COOPER b 1763 Middletown, CT d. 1837 Bentley Creek, PA. m. Mary Ovenshire bef 1800. Abner, my gggg grandfather, served briefly in the Revolutionary War as a teenager before going to sea for a number of years. Later, he moved to the Catskills in NY and by 1800 was in Newtown/Elmira, NY (according to census). In 1819, he moved his family to Bentley Creek. I'm searching for his parents. Suspect his uncles were William and George Cooper. William was from Paulings, NY. -----Original Message----- From: Devlin, Jane <JaneDevlin@netquest.com> To: CTMIDDLE-L@rootsweb.com <CTMIDDLE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, June 27, 1999 8:51 PM Subject: It's too quiet here! Ok, it's been too quiet on this list.. let's get things moving with a Roll Call of the families being researched in Middlesex County. The roll call will start this evening and continue until 6 pm next Sunday. A few simple 'rules': 1) Please put the names you're researching in the subject line. 2) Please give a little more data than just the surname - town, approximate dates, given names - anything that can help your cousins to link up with you. 3) Capitalizing the surnames is a nice touch (makes them easy to pick out), but not required. 4) Feel free to post as many families as you want - you may get more response if you post one family or family grouping to a message. 5) Have fun and good luck!..
