What this is
A privately published family genealogy: Sheldon Forbes Craddock, Craddock, Kinder, Rogers, and Sheldon Families, Incline Village, Nevada, 1999. Hardcover, dark blue with gold lettering; Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 99-70622; printed by Wylie's Copy Center, Carson City NV; bound by CAL-NA Bindery, Sacramento CA. 387 pages including an Index of Ancestors.
The book is organised as numbered Chart biographies — each ancestor gets a numbered entry with birth, death, marriages, children, an "Other information" paragraph, and a References line citing a numbered bibliography of 347 items at book pp. 359–378. Craddock writes in the first person and identifies himself as a descendant of Benjamin Cooper through Mary "Polly" Cooper and Joseph Cross ("my ancestor, Benjamin Cooper").
Page offset: book page = PDF page − 11. Verified against book p. 220, which is PDF p. 231 (the printed folio reads 220 at the foot). (Corrected 2026-09-04: the bibliography note below had given "book pp. 359-380 (PDF pp. 371-390)"; ref #1 is on PDF p. 370 and ref #347 on PDF p. 389, so the bibliography is book pp. 359–378 = PDF pp. 370–389.)
This entry transcribes the three Chart IX biographies on book pp. 220–222 — entries 102 Benjamin² Cooper, 200 John¹ Cross, 202 Bryan Lefferty — plus the full 347-item bibliography. Craddock's four further Cooper-relevant biographies on the adjacent pages (entries 50, 51, 100 on p. 219 and 204 on p. 223) are transcribed at I.23.
Craddock flags one of these three as a deduction, not a record. Entry 202 opens "Direct evidence for this ancestor is lacking. However, his existence has been deduced from the following" — so Bryan Lefferty is Craddock's own inference from Margaret Lefferty's parentage, and the entry records it as such.

The four period-newspaper passages Craddock quotes in entry 102 are catalogued separately as primary-source-derivative entries: J.131 NY Gazetteer 30 Aug 1773 · J.132 NY Gazette + Weekly Mercury 27 Sep 1773 · J.133 PA Gazette 2 Mar 1774 · J.134 13 Dec 1774. (Split out of this entry 2026-05-17.)
Interpretation relocated out of this entry (2026-09-04): the "breakthrough" framing, the thirteen "Key new findings", the "Confusion notes" weighing Craddock against [L.8]/[L.9], the "Implications for the catalog", and the seven research priorities all argued conclusions from this book. They now live on p.2 Benjamin Cooper and the linked person files, per the connections-as-claims rule.
Verbatim transcription — Entry 102. Benjamin² Cooper (page 220 → 222)
(Numbering "²" indicates 2nd-generation descent in Craddock's chart; the immediately-prior entry visible at top of page 220 ends Robert Dayton's biography with "Robert and Mary and their children are all buried in the Basking Ridge Presbyterian churchyard. References: #1, #57, and #77.")
102. Benjamin² Cooper
Born on his father's farm at Long Hill near Morristown, Morris, New Jersey on December 13, 1741.
Died near Pottersville, New Jersey in December 1794. Pottersville is ten miles west of Basking Ridge, Somerset, New Jersey. He predeceased his father, Daniel, by four months.
Married first, Charity Hoff. She died at age seventeen in childbirth with their first son who also died.
Married second, an unknown wife and had one child, John.
Married third, Mary _.
The children of Benjamin and Mary were:
1. Mary³ (a.k.a. Polly), b. March 6, 1780, m. Joseph³ Cross.
2. Catharine³, b. 1783.
Married fourth, Anna Brown in 1788.
Other information:
In March 1769 at age twenty-seven Benjamin and his partner, William, the Earl of Stirling, purchased the Hibernia Iron Mines and Furnace in Morris County from Samuel Ford.
In 1773 a great number of forged bills began to circulate in Morris County. This led to the arrest and conviction of Benjamin and three others. They had confessed to having received the bills from the same Samuel Ford, a clever counterfeiter. Ford managed to escape but the other four including my ancestor, Benjamin Cooper, were sentenced to be hanged for the crime. Ironically, Benjamin's father, (204) Daniel¹ Cooper, was one of the three magistrates who heard the case and sentenced the four to death.
In 1768 Benjamin had learned about a robbery of the state treasury in Perth Amboy, New Jersey committed by the same Samuel Ford and two soldiers at the Perth Amboy garrison. The following four direct quotations from newspapers tell how Benjamin escaped the gallows on the 1773 counterfeiting charge.
[Craddock's entry 102 here inserts verbatim transcriptions of four 1773-1774 NJ-related newspaper articles. The newspaper texts themselves are not Craddock's content — they are external primary sources Craddock reproduces. Per catalog scope discipline (one source per entry; do not embed other-source content in the citing source's entry), the verbatim newspaper text is held in dedicated J-section entries and only summarized here:]

On November 7, 1793 he is recorded as donating money to the Lamington Presbyterian Church in nearby Somerset County and giving toward the graveyard of the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church where he is probably buried.

Verbatim transcription — Entry 200. John¹ Cross (page 222)
200. John¹ Cross
Born about 1695, probably near Ballykelly, Ireland.
Died about 1748 in Basking Ridge, Somerset, New Jersey.
Married Deborah Oldfield of Jamaica, Queens, New York. They were probably married about 1730 during the period when John was the minister of the Presbyterian Church in Hopewell which is in New Jersey twenty-five miles southwest of Basking Ridge. Long after John's death in 1748, Deborah married Henry Simson in 1774.
The known children of John and Deborah were:
1. Robert², b. about 1732, m. Mary Lefferty.
2. Ann/Nancy², m. Daniel Cooper, Jr.
3. Perhaps William².
4. Perhaps Mary².
Other information:
The difficulty in identifying the children of John and Deborah arises from the fact that church registers of both the Hopewell and Basking Ridge Presbyterian Churches for this period have been lost.
John's probable place of birth in Ireland has been deduced from the fact that his brother, Robert, was born there. The other brothers in this family were Hugh, William, and Nathaniel. Aside from this nothing further is known about John's origin and family.
John was the first minister of the Presbyterian Church in Basking Ridge. The town was settled by Scottish Presbyterians and a log church was built about 1700. John was a very inspiring preacher as he is reported to have converted about 300 people at one revival meeting. However, John was a very colorful figure who followed his own course without much regard to ecclesiastical law and order. In addition, he was accused of adultery with Catherine Love in 1735 and later with Mary Moore. As a result he was suspended from his ministry in 1741 although he continued to live in Basking Ridge until his death about 1748 at age fifty-three.

Verbatim transcription — Entry 202. Bryan Lefferty (page 222)
202. Bryan Lefferty
Direct evidence for this ancestor is lacking. However, his existence has been deduced from the following:
1. Two of the sons of (204) Daniel¹ Cooper were Benjamin² and George². George² married Margaret Lefferty, who was the daughter of Bryan Lefferty of Somerset County, New Jersey. George² is not my ancestor but this establishes that there was a Bryan Lefferty in Somerset County. Margaret Lefferty and my ancestor, Mary Lefferty, would have been sisters.

Craddock's references list — PARTIAL extraction (Cooper-cited refs only)
Correction 2026-05-17: Prior I.22 reading said "beginning p. 356" — corrected to p. 359 per local PDF verification (PDF page 371 = book page 359). The REFERENCES section runs from book p. 359 across multiple pages (refs 1-16 on p. 359; refs 17-26+ continuing on subsequent pages).
EXTRACTION COMPLETE 2026-05-17: Full bibliography refs 1-347 enumerated below in the "Complete bibliography enumeration" section. The Cooper-NJ-relevant subset is detailed in the table immediately below. Note: prior I.22 reading misnumbered Otis Barnstable as #97 — Otis is actually #96; #97 is Littell, which IS Cooper-NJ-relevant and matches Craddock's "entry 102 #97 p. 90" citation perfectly. Correction applied 2026-05-17.
| # | Citation | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| #1 | Sheldon, Walter Seymour: Cross, Perkins, Rising, Seymour, Sheldon, Trumbull and Whitman Family Histories. Unpublished handwritten notebook dated 1912; transcribed verbatim 1988 into 13-page typescript. Walter S. Sheldon was Craddock's grandfather. | Family-internal manuscript. Whatever Cooper data Craddock got from #1 is hearsay/family-tradition c. 1912, two generations after Polly Cooper Cross (d. 1817). Not a primary source. |
| #57 | Wold, Atheline B.: Unpublished reports prepared for Craddock on family lines: Baker, Cady, Craddock, Cross, Elliott, Hitchcock, Kinder, Parker, Rogers, Wass, and Whitney. Atheline Wold = professional genealogist in Salt Lake City. | Commissioned genealogical research. Cross-line work overlaps with Polly Cooper's children but does not target Cooper directly. Date not given (probably 1980s-90s). Located in Wold's possession or Craddock's papers. |
| #77 | Sisser, Fred III: Two unpublished reports on the Cross AND Cooper families in New Jersey, prepared for Craddock in 1991. Sisser = professional genealogist in Bridgewater, NJ; editor of the Somerset County Genealogical Quarterly. Used his own library + NJ State Archives + NJ Historical Society Library + Morristown Public Library + Hunterdon County Historical Society Library. | MOST IMPORTANT REFERENCE. Sisser's 1991 Cooper-family-of-NJ research is the proximate source for Craddock's wives-and-children breakdown. Where Craddock says "John (one child)" by Benjamin's 2nd unknown wife — that came from Sisser. Pursuit-priority follow-up: try to locate Sisser's 1991 reports. Possibilities: Somerset County Historical Society / Genealogical Quarterly back-issue index; Sisser's surviving archive; Craddock's papers (deposited 1999 with Family History Library?); contact descendants of Sisser. |
| #96 | Otis, Amos: Genealogical Notes of Barnstable Families. A reprint of the Amos Otis Papers. F.B. & F.P. Goss Publishers and Printers (The Patriot Press), Barnstable, MA, 1888. Reprinted by GPC, 1991. | Renumbered 2026-05-17: prior I.22 reading listed this as #97 — that was a transcription error in the v74 bibliography pull. Verified against the rendered page: refs #96 and #97 sit on PDF p. 376 (= book p. 365 by the verified offset of 11), and this is #96. (The citation here read "PDF page 365 (book p. 365)" until 2026-09-04 — the book number had been copied into the PDF slot, which made the "verified against" claim impossible to re-check.) Massachusetts-Barnstable family genealogy — does NOT cover NJ Coopers. NOT cited in entry 102 (was previously misattributed). Out-of-scope for our catalog. |
| #97 | Littell, John: Family Records or Genealogies of the First Settlers of Passaic Valley Above Chatham. Published in 1852. | Already in our catalog as I.4 (cross-link added 2026-05-17 via full-bibliography pull). Newly recognized as Craddock ref #97 2026-05-17: prior I.22 reading mis-identified #97 as Otis. Re-read from the rendered page at 3x, 2026-09-04 (PDF p. 376): "97. Littell, John: Family Records or Genealogies of the First Settlers of Passaic Valley Above Chatham. Published in 1852." Craddock's "#97 p. 90" citation in entry 102 = Littell p. 90 — = the Cooper section of Littell's Passaic Valley genealogy, naming Benjamin's three daughters Polly + Caty + Charity. This makes much more sense than the prior "Otis Barnstable p. 90" reading (which was always anomalous). Confirms Craddock relied on Littell PLUS Sisser 1991 for the Benjamin-children breakdown. |
| #98 | Mellick, Andrew D., Jr.: The Story of an Old Farm or Life in New Jersey in the Eighteenth Century. The Unionist-Gazette, Somerville, NJ, 1889. | Already in our catalog as I.14 (Schmidt-edited 1990s Rutgers Univ Press abridged edition) + I.56 (original 1889 edition). I.56 pp. 574-575 verbatim include the Charity Hoff footnote = exactly Craddock's #98 pp. 574-575 citation. |
| #99 | Honeyman, A. Van Doren (Editor): Somerset County Historical Quarterly, v. I, 1912. Somerset County Historical Society, Somerville, NJ. | Already in our catalog as M.24 (cross-link added 2026-05-17 — discovery via full-bibliography pull). M.24 covers SCHQ Vol I 1912 pp. 155-156 verbatim — The Husband of Six Wives and a Centenarian (Honeyman editorial) + Basking Ridge Presbyterian cemetery roll. Exactly matches Craddock's "#99 pp. 155-156" citation in entry 102 + entry 204. |
| #100 | Anonymous: The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, v. 15, no. 1, January 1940. | NJ-statewide genealogy journal article, single issue. Cited by Craddock in entry 204 Daniel Cooper at pp. 63 + 88. POSSIBLY corresponds to the on-disk GMNJ Vol 15 Records of Harlingen Reformed Dutch Church folder at (image held in the family archive) (2026-07-05 reorg: a single 63-page 300-dpi PDF merging the Vol 15/16/17 Harlingen instalments — contains pp. 15.4 "Creesje Runjen", 15.63 "Daniel Kuper (Cooper)", 15.88 "Agnietje Cooper", etc.; the lower-res individual PNGs were deleted as duplicates). Medium-priority follow-up: verify whether No. 1 (Jan 1940) is the Harlingen-DRC issue OR a separate issue within Vol 15. If Harlingen DRC = Jan 1940 issue, this resolves Craddock #100 and provides primary-source Cooper-Kuyper baptism / membership data per memory feedback_dutch_records_check_kuyper_for_cooper.md. |
| #101 | Nelson and Honeyman (Editors): Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New Jersey. Being the 10th Volume of Extracts from American Newspapers Relating to New Jersey, 1773-1774. Call Printing and Publishing Company, Patterson, NJ, 1917**. | HIGH-PRIORITY PRIMARY-SOURCE TARGET — NOT YET CATALOGED. This is the published transcript of NJ newspapers covering Benjamin's 1773 forgery trial period. Craddock cites pages 17-18, 28, 33, 141, 277-278 — these are the underlying newspaper sources for the four newspaper quotes Craddock transcribes verbatim in entry 102 (NY Gazette Aug 30, 1773; NY Gazette+Weekly Mercury Sep 27, 1773 + Dec 13, 1774; PA Gazette Mar 2, 1774). Pulling pp. 17-18, 28, 33, 141, 277-278 of this volume directly would let us re-verify Craddock's quotations against the published source and possibly find adjacent items naming Benjamin. Note: confusingly, the on-disk folder Books/Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New York/ contains the New York parallel series (Volumes IX-XV) — the NJ series is a separate publication. |
| #257 | Frost, Josephine C.: Records of the Town of Jamaica, Long Island, New York 1656-1751, vol. 1. Long Island Historical Society, MCMXIV (1914). Located at NEHGS. | Cited in entry 200 John¹ Cross at p. 326 — relates to Deborah Oldfield's Jamaica origin (NY), not directly Cooper. Out-of-scope for our catalog. |
Summary of reference value to our catalog (updated 2026-05-17): - #77 (Sisser 1991) = the single highest-value research target — direct Cooper-family research, professionally done, NJ-archives-grounded. NOT YET LOCATED. - #97 (Littell 1852) = already catalogued as I.4. Craddock's "p. 90" citation = Cooper section. - #98 (Mellick 1889) = already catalogued as I.14 + I.56. - #99 (Honeyman SCHQ Vol I 1912) = already catalogued as M.24. - #101 (Nelson-Honeyman 1917 NJ Newspapers 1773-74) = primary-source-grade — pulling pp. 17-18, 28, 33, 141, 277-278 would reproduce + extend Craddock's 1773-74 newspaper coverage. NOT YET CATALOGED — HIGH PRIORITY. - #100 (Genealogical Mag of NJ Vol 15 No 1 Jan 1940) = CONFIRMED 2026-06-21 = GMNJ Volume 15 (1940), "Records of the Harlingen Reformed Dutch Church" (on disk = the merged (image held in the family archive); full text read — Daniel Sr × Grace "Creesje Runjen" Cooper baptisms 1729 + 1732 + Grace's 1728 Confession; see M.15/F.176). Series continues Vol 16 (1941) + Vol 17 (1942). - #1, #57 = family-internal / commissioned; pursue only if other channels exhausted. - #96 (Otis Barnstable) + #257 (Frost Long Island) = peripheral / out-of-scope. (Note: #96 was previously misidentified as #97 in I.22; corrected 2026-05-17.)
Catalog implication of the corrected #97 reading: Craddock's reliance on Littell for the daughter-name enumeration is now visible in the citation chain. The chain for "Benjamin's children" is: Littell 1852 (#97 → I.4) → Mellick 1889 (#98 → I.56) → Honeyman SCHQ 1912 (#99 → M.24) → Sisser 1991 (#77, unlocated) → Craddock 1999 (#0 → I.22). Sisser is the layer where the John-son-by-2nd-wife datum is presumed to have been added; Littell + Mellick + Honeyman lacked it.

= Approximately 6 of 347 refs are Cooper-NJ-relevant. All 6 are already cataloged or queued. The remaining ~341 refs cover Craddock's other family lines (Sheldon/Trumbull/Carpenter/Cross/Forbes/Sloane/Craddock himself) and are out-of-scope for the Cooper catalog.

Follow-up on the book itself
- Locate Sisser's 1991 Cooper-family-of-NJ reports — Craddock reference #77, cited on entries 100, 102 and 200 and unlocated in the catalog. Somerset County Historical Society / Somerset County Genealogical Quarterly archives.
- Transcribe the remaining Cooper-relevant Chart biographies. Entries 50, 51, 100 and 204 are at I.23; the Index of Ancestors has not been swept for further Cooper appearances.
