The Coopers of Long Hill

Document M.46 · Societies (DAR / SAR / lineage) · transcription: verbatim

DAR GRS Ancestor-Search results listing — COOPER, New Jersey (20 patriots). The two main-line patriots are already fully cataloged: COOPER DANIEL SR A025711 = [p.1] (full record [M.37]); COOPER DANIEL JR A071429 = [p.79] (full record [M.38]). The 'PROBLEMS DISCOVERED' notice on this listing belongs to COOPER DAVID A025712 (Monmouth, out-of-scope) — NOT to Daniel Sr (corrected 2026-06-26 per maintainer). Value-add of this listing = 4 Morris-Co collateral candidates (Henry Sr A025728, James A025740, James A025747, Joseph A025771) + Ichabod A025731; the rest are fam.9 Monmouth / fam.3 Camden-Gloucester / Bergen Dutch out-of-scope clusters.

Triage (interpretation — not data bullets)

** OUR main line (2) — both ALREADY FULLY CATALOGED since 2026-05-28 (this listing only re-surfaces them): - A025711 COOPER, DANIEL SR = p.1 Daniel Cooper Sr. Full DAR record (6 wives, MOB Agnes correction, 5 descendant apps) = [M.37] (pulled 2026-05-28; PDF on disk (image held in the family archive)). CORRECTION (2026-06-26, maintainer): the "PROBLEMS DISCOVERED" notice on this search listing does NOT belong to Daniel Sr — it renders on the next card, COOPER DAVID A025712 (Monmouth, out-of-scope). M.37 confirms Daniel Sr's record carries no such flag. ⇒ the earlier read that the flag pointed at a contested lineage above Daniel Sr (pr.2) is retracted. Per-application descendant copies (NN 122972 Brode, NN 669245) remain the live paid leads — see [M.37] follow-ups. - A071429 COOPER, DANIEL JR = p.79 Daniel Cooper Jr. Full DAR record = [M.38] (pulled 2026-05-28). Its service (Commissary for classing of militia), birthplace (Elizabethtown Essex Co — conflicts with our image-verified Piscataway/Harlingen baptism, F.176), and 24 May 1787 Long Hill** death were all already captured at M.38. Sole descendant app = NN 669245 (via Catherine Cooper Jr × John Ludlow).

** Morris-Co collateral candidates (4) — possible Daniel-Sr descendants or collateral Morris Coopers; not yet placed: - A025728 HENRY SR — b. 1733 Morris Co, d. 1819 Morris Co (Col John Stark militia). - A025740 JAMES — b. 1740 Morristown (minute man). - A025747 JAMES — b. 1757 Mendham, Morris Co, d. 1789. - A025771 JOSEPH — b. 1760 Morris Co, d. 1843 Chester, Orange Co NY ("future applicants must prove correct service"). - A025731 ICHABOD** — vitals not shown on this listing; cf. p.561 Ichabod Cooper son of Thomas 1628 (English-colonial line) — pull full record to place.

** Out-of-scope clusters (disambiguation, not ours): - fam.9 Monmouth Co. — A025748 James Wilson (= [M.43]/[p.600]), A025754 John, A025712 David, A025820 William. - fam.3 Camden/Gloucester Quaker — A025713 David (Deptford, = the Quaker David Cooper), A025804 Samuel (Coopers Point), A025694 Alexander (Salem). - Bergen Dutch — A025705 Cornelius Jr, A025704 Cornelius Sr, A025756 John (Hackensack), A025696 Ananias (bpt Amsterdam). - Other** — A025755 John (NYC-born, Sussex), A135303 John (Sussex/Chemung NY).

Cross-references

2026-08-29 — A135303 John Cooper (Sussex/Chemung NY) now has a family file → [fam.24]

His pension is W 16926, and page 17 of it ([B.105]) is a sworn family Bible register naming his eleven children — including an Aaron Cooper b. 19 Mar 1797 who is NOT [p.13] Aaron Cooper Sr.

The line is now [fam.24], a disambiguation file, because its forename pool overlaps this catalog's almost completely and it will keep surfacing in Cooper name searches. The discriminator is CHEMUNG CO., NEW YORK.
