What is transcribed: All result pages of both county searches, de-duplicated on memorial id and tabulated by burial ground; the 26 Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church Cemetery memorials listed with their ids; and the parsed memorials of Judge Daniel Cooper (64658271) and Grace Runyon Cooper (70802032). The per-ground counts are for deaths 1700-1900 only and are not cemetery totals (Harlingen Reformed holds five Coopers in all against the one counted here; see [G.725]). No gravestone was read; every date is the site's listing text or the parser's output.
