Creator Hull, R. B. FamilySearch digital book id 494778 (owning inst. Allen County Public Library; 131 pp.; "Available Online"). Viewed 2026-07-08 (maintainer, images 123–125). Subject: Cooper family / Woolston family. This is the authoritative genealogy of the [fam.3] Camden/Gloucester Quaker Cooper line (progenitors William¹ & Margaret of Pine Point, 1679).
Data from the document [verbatim] (images 123–125)
The pedigree line (image 123, entry 303):
"Joshua Cooper⁵ (Daniel⁴, William³, Daniel², William¹), of New Albany, Ind., born — 1758, married 1782, Abigail born 1760, daughter of Jacob and Priscilla (Ellis) Stokes of Newton, son of Thomas and Rachel (Wright) Stokes of Waterford, son of Thomas and Mary (Bernard) Stokes of London."
⇒ fam.3 descent: William¹ & Margaret (Pine Point, 1679) → Daniel² → William³ → Daniel⁴ → Joshua⁵ (b.1758) → Joseph Ellis⁶ (b.1786). (Matches Dawn Premock's chain "Joshua → Daniel → William" = Daniel⁴ → William³.)
Priscilla Ellis's ancestry (image 124): "Priscilla Ellis was daughter of Joseph and Mary Ellis, of Newton, son of Simeon and Sarah (Bates) Ellis of 'Springwell' Ellisburgh, 1691."

Significance (the resolution — full analysis on [p.112] / [p.1608])
- This DECISIVELY settles the p.112 identity question: TWO DIFFERENT MEN. The Haddonfield Joseph Ellis Cooper (b.1786, this register, entry 305) married Mary Scull and had 3 children (Howell, Joshua, Sarah Ann Chapman) — an entirely different family from our Warren [p.112] Joseph Cooper (m. Elsie Stackhouse, 6 children Lewis Sanford / George Monroe / Margaret / Caleb Swayze / Calvin Chandler / Robert Marshall). Same name, ~same birth year, both d.1852 = a namesake collision that L.90 / L.147 / Dawn Premock's tree all wrongly merged.
- The Haddonfield Joseph Ellis is now filed as [p.1608] (fam.3), kept distinct from [p.112].
- This register is a fuller version of the same family as the Haines Stokes genealogy ([I.184]) — Haines gave "Joseph E. m. Mary Schull" with no issue; Hull adds Mary Scull's death (1851) + the 3 children + the Indiana/Philadelphia migration of Joshua & Abigail.
Cross-references
- p.1608 Joseph Ellis Cooper (Haddonfield, m. Mary Scull) — the register's Joseph Ellis (fam.3 namesake of p.112)
- I.184 — Haines Stokes genealogy (same family, less complete)
- F.220 — Haddonfield MM birth register (Joshua & Abigail's children)
- fam.3 Camden NJ Quaker Cooper — this register documents the fam.3 line back to Wm¹ & Margaret (1679)
Follow-ups
- The register (131 pp.) is the authoritative fam.3 source — mine it if the Camden/Gloucester Quaker Cooper line ever needs building out (it gives the Wm¹→Daniel²→Wm³→Daniel⁴ backbone + many branches). Book id 494778 on FamilySearch.
