Catalog-defining attestation — Chambers I.138 CORRECTION

I.138 Chambers, Early Germans of New Jersey (c. 1895) book p. 302 main COOPER entry lists under Samuel × Betsey Brown's 11 children: "Samuel, m. Temperance Crammer".

PRIMARY-SOURCE C.32 CORRECTS Chambers: actual husband was Stephen B. Cooper of Chester = NOT Samuel.

This Stephen B. Cooper is: - Identified as a son of p.472 Samuel Cooper Sr per L.120 Samuel Cooper Sr Ancestry tree (= "Stephen Brown Cooper b. ~1780") - "B" middle initial = Brown (= matronymic? OR namesake honoring step-mother Betsey Brown? Per L.120, Stephen B Cooper was b. ~1780 = BEFORE Samuel Sr's 1795 marriage to Elizabeth Brown — = "Brown" middle name cannot be matronymic-direct; possibly honors Samuel Sr's later-second-wife Elizabeth Brown or her family of origin) - Of Chester Morris NJ in 1826 - Promoted to p.502 Stephen Brown Cooper 2026-05-27 v233
