Well there was a Cooper River in New Jersey, just on the other side opposite Philadelphia. I think it was probably named after a family that settled there. Not sure when the river acquired that name, but surely not before about 1680. Your entry seems to indicate "the Jerseys" (maybe) which is what the state of NJ was --West and East Jersey --for a while. You could try a keyword search in the archives of the NJ list: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search Or try posting to there: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/usa/NJ/misc.html#NJ Good luck, Liz J On 7 June 2010 15:05, <PardeeGal@aol.com> wrote: > Dear List: > > I found the marriage record of my 5th great GF, 6 May 1652, which I had > known, however, there was an additional item: "Location- Couper or Conyers > Jerseys".
