Searched for: Daniel Cooper, b. 1690-1700, d. 1790-1800 (familysearch.org/search/tree/results — q.givenName=Daniel, q.surname=Cooper, q.birthLikeDate 1690-1700, q.deathLikeDate 1790-1800). No place filter: his death county was deliberately left out so a mis-placed profile could not be excluded.

Result: MATCH, certain — [LXS1-94X], first of 1,115,419 hits. FS holds birth 1 May 1695 'At Sea', marriage 17 Apr 1726 Woodbridge Twp, Middlesex, death 2 May 1795 Morris, New Jersey, and all six wives in Brode's [I.130] order (Grace Runyon LHJG-9FP · Jenneke Van Keuren L24D-8PM · Grace Manning GVST-7YK · Fanny Jones MCJH-6BN · Barbara Margaret Gibbs KD92-T82 · Hannah Martin MCJH-6BB). Exact agreement on all three vital dates ⇒ identification is not in doubt. 15 sources, 6 memories, 4 collaborate notes; Possible Duplicates not yet checked. Two FS readings differ from ours and are NOT yet reconciled: (1) marriage place Woodbridge Twp vs the catalog's Piscataway (from [I.36], recorded on Grace (Runyon) Cooper) — both Middlesex Co.; (2) wife 2's surname Van Keuren vs the catalog's Westbroek/Wesbroek (Janneke (Westbrook) Cooper, primary parish register [M.14]). (2) RESOLVED IN FAVOUR OF FAMILYSEARCH, 2026-10-21, grade probable: [M.14]'s own volume carries four entries reading "Dirk/ Derrick Westbroeck and his wife Jenneke van Keuren", so Van Keuren is her BIRTH name and Westbroek her husband's - and she is entered in 1757 as a widow. The error is OURS. See Janneke (Westbrook) Cooper; do not push a surname change to FS. No conflict on Grace's birth year: FS 1706 vs our 7 JAN 1707 is the Old-Style/New-Style split the body already writes as "17 Jan 1706/7"; only the frontmatter flattens it. New to us: The Michael Shoemaker Book (1924) p. 850 → to-do t5. [pr.2] lead: FS asserts parents John Moses Cooper (1659-1695) [273H-F7C] × Elizabeth (1660-1715) [9SM9-ZP4] — but that profile's name, sex, birth and death ALL read 0 Sources, and its only evidence is a note quoting "First Settlers of Piscataway p595" for the born-at-sea story, a passage that names no father at all. ⇒ The name "John Moses Cooper" is an unsourced construction and is NOT being written into this file. What IS worth having is the citation → to-do t4. Independent corroboration of the SISTER: FS gives [273H-F7C] exactly two children — Daniel and Annetje Elizabeth Cooper (1691-1750) [LZLH-7M1] — matching the catalog's 4-source finding that Anne (Annatje Elizabeth) Cooper Van Court was his older sister, from a separate line of descent. (FS death 1750 vs our sourced 28 Mar 1779.) [273H-F7C] was merged by user ML Decker on 20 Feb 2026 with two relationships deleted, so it is actively edited.

I.66 Pitney, A history of Morris County, New Jersey: embracing upwards of two centuries, 1710-1913, Vol I (1914)
I.78 Documents Relating to the Colonial History of NJ — TWO 1749 primary-source Daniel Cooper records: (a) Series I Vol 16 (Journal of the Governor 1748-1755) pp. 89-91 — 28 March 1749 Burlington Council, Gov. Jonathan Belcher in Council commissioning Daniel Cooper of Morris County as 'Quorum' (= Justice of the Quorum of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas); (b) Series I Vol 7 (Belcher 1746-1751) pp. 275-276 — 14 April 1749 sworn affidavit of 'Daniel Cooper Esqr One of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of Morris' regarding timber destruction by the Newark/Horseneck rioters in the South-East-Pasaick + Great Swamp region, signed 'DANIEL COOPER'. Together these are the on-disk primary-source documents Schopfer's note (per project pr.3 Daniel Sr 1749 oath of allegiance.md) refers to. Revises Schopfer's naturalization-hypothesis reading: a Crown commission to Justice of the Quorum required the holder to already be a British subject, so the oath Daniel Sr took c. 28 Mar 1749 was the oath of office + oaths of allegiance/supremacy/abjuration as a subject, NOT a naturalization oath.
I.87 Tuttle Revolutionary Fragments, Morris Co., N.J. — No. 8 (1850; reprinted 1896) — published transcription of the 1776 'Association of Whigs in Pequannock' petition, naming Robert Gaston at the head of the signers list + the four Hoffs (Jos., Garret, John, Charles Jr.) among 177 named signers; Committee of Safety named (Robert Gaston, Moses Tuttle, Stephen Jackson, Abram Kitchel, Job Allen). Robert Gaston = husband of [p.54 Rosanna Cooper Gaston](../../people/p.54%20Rosanna%20%28Cooper%29%20Gaston.md) (Daniel Sr's daughter per [A.9](../A-Probate/A.9.yaml)) = brother-in-law of [p.2 Capt Benjamin Cooper](../../people/p.2%20Benjamin%20Cooper.md). The four Hoff signers = family network of [p.46 Charity (Hoff) Cooper](../../people/p.46%20Charity%20%28Hoff%29%20Cooper.md) (Benjamin's 1st wife).
I.89 Tuttle Revolutionary Fragments, Morris Co., N.J. — No. 12: Incidents Connected with the Execution of Reynolds Counterfeiting and the Old Boonton Slitting Mill (1850) — primary identification of 'the wife of Robert Gaston, chairman of the committee of vigilance, was the sister of Cooper, one of the four condemned counterfeiters.' = explicit published-secondary primary-source-published-tier identification that Capt. Benjamin Cooper's sister was Mrs. Robert Gaston (= Rosanna Cooper per [A.9](../A-Probate/A.9.yaml) Daniel Sr's 1791 will). Plus narrative: she ran on a hill above Rockaway for hours awaiting reprieve news on the morning of the execution. Plus additional Sheriff Thomas Kinney + execution-day color material.
I.94 Documents Relating to the Colonial History of NJ Series I Vol 6 (Administrations 1738-1747) pp. 426-427 — David Ogden letter to President John Hamilton, dated Newark 22 April 1747, transmitting affidavits respecting the Newark/Horseneck Riots and reporting that 'It was Currently reported among us the Begining of Last week, that the Mob were Determined on Friday last to turn Justice Daniel Cooper out of the Possession of his House and Plantation, whereupon Several of the Officers of Morris County both Civil and Military, with others, to the number of about 100 went to the House of Justice Cooper well armed with Guns &c. in Order to meet the Rioters.' Original at British Public Record Office (PRO B.T. New Jersey Vol. VI). This is the on-disk primary-source attestation of the maintainer's Vol 6 p. 426 reference per [pr.7](../../projects/pr.7%20Daniel%20Sr%20unsubstantiated%20notes%202026-05-08.md) and is the earliest primary-source attestation in the catalog of Daniel Cooper Sr as Justice + Morris Co. landowner — predating the I.78 Vol 7 affidavit by 2 years.
I.95 Documents Relating to the Colonial History of NJ Series I Vol 15 (Journal of the Governor Vol III 1738-1748) p. 91 — 1 September 1739 Perth Amboy Council under Gov. Lewis Morris: Daniel Cooper commissioned as one of three Justices of the Quorum for Morris County (alongside Timothy Tuttle + Samuel Swisey), in the FIRST documented Morris Co. judicial commission after the county's 1739 formation. Per image-zoom verification of the printed column structure, Daniel Cooper is bracketed under 'Quor:' (= Quorum), NOT the lower 'Justices' (Justice of the Peace) tier. This is the earliest primary-source attestation in the catalog of Daniel Cooper Sr holding Crown judicial office — 10 years before the 1749 Belcher re-commission per [I.78](I.78.yaml), and 8 years before the April 1747 Newark-Rioter target per [I.94](I.94.yaml). Also Vol 15 p. 563 (December 1747 Council Journal) records 'A Petition of Daniel Cooper and others praying the Same [= relief against the Rioters]' as item N° 2 in a list of papers laid before the House of Assembly in August 1747 — = a NEW catalog primary-source attestation that Daniel Sr PERSONALLY petitioned for rioter relief separately from the 14 August 1747 'Sundry Inhabitants' petition (N° 1). Petition body not yet on disk.

Daniel Cooper named in the afternoon session Justices list alongside Timothy Tuttle, with John Budd + Gersham Mott + Abraham Kitchel + Jacob Ford as Judges. = first image-verified Morris CCP minute-book attestation of Daniel Cooper Sr actually sitting as a Justice in court session, 18 months after his 1 September 1739 Quorum commission per [I.95](I.95.yaml). Closes the long-standing acquisition target identified at I.78 + I.94 + I.95 + [pr.3](../../projects/pr.3%20Daniel%20Sr%201749%20oath%20of%20allegiance%20%28RESOLVED%29.md) for primary-source Morris CCP record of Daniel Sr's judicial service. Plus full township-officer appointment lists for Hanover Twp + Morris Twp for the year ensuing.
I.98 Morris County NJ Court of Common Pleas Minute Book Vol 1 1740-1754 (FamilySearch DGS 7903187), image 142 of 321, printed pp. 242-243 — Tuesday 28 March 1749 General Sessions of the Peace + County Court at Morristown. Daniel Cooper named as sole Justice present alongside Judges Gersham Mott + John Lindsly + Jacob Ford. = THE SAME DAY as the [I.78](I.78.yaml) Belcher Council session at Burlington that re-commissioned Daniel Cooper as Justice of the Quorum. Daniel Sr was at Morris CCP at Morristown holding court at the very moment the Council was reappointing him at Burlington ≈ 50 miles south — establishing continuity of his judicial service across the new commission. Plus complete township-officer-appointment rosters for Hanover, Morris, Wasock (Walpack), Roxbury (which lists Nathan Cooper Junr = fam.2 Nathan Jr 1725-1797 as Roxbury Twp officer), and Pequannock. Plus Vol 1 page 242 = December 28 1748 Uzal Ogden + Josiah Ogden + Joseph Higbie civil-suit business immediately preceding.

Page 120 contains 'Daniel Cooper Junr Esq^r High Sheriff of Morris County' formally protesting the insufficiency of the Morris County Gaol — = primary-source-image-verified attestation that Daniel Cooper Jr (b. 1729, age 29 in 1758) was Sheriff of Morris County by Sept 1758. Combined with [pr.44](../../projects/pr.44%20NJ%20Colonial%20Documents%20corpus%20scan.md)'s Vol 26 Newspapers Vol VII finding (Daniel Cooper Jr Sheriff 1768-1769), the Daniel-Jr Sheriff tenure is now primary-source-attested across 1758-1769 = at least 11 years. CATALOG CORRECTION: Honeyman [M.24](../M-Societies/M.24.yaml) 1912 attribution of 'Sheriff of Morris Co. 1753-1761' to Daniel Cooper Sr was at least partially wrong — by Sept 1758 Daniel Jr held the office. Also: 'Daniel Cooper Junr Esq Petition for [tavern] Licence ... Daniel Cooper Esq and Joseph Stiles Sureties' = first image-verified father-son surety transaction between Daniel Sr and Daniel Jr.
I.100 Morris County NJ Court of Common Pleas Minute Book Vol 2-3 (1754-1766) (FamilySearch DGS 7903193), image 66 of 410, printed pp. 117-118 — Tuesday 4 July 1758 General Sessions of the Peace + Inferior Court of Common Pleas at Morristown. 'A Commission from the Honourable John Reading Esq appointing Daniel Cooper Junior Esqr Sheriff of the County of Morris being Read' = the exact moment Daniel Cooper Jr received his Sheriff commission, primary-source-image-verified. John Reading was Acting Governor of NJ 1757-1758 between Belcher's death + Bernard's arrival. Daniel Sr present at same session as Justice of the Quorum. = closes the [I.99](I.99.yaml) Sept 28 1758 attestation by establishing the formal commission date 12 weeks earlier. Final correction to Honeyman [M.24](../M-Societies/M.24.yaml) Sheriff attribution: Daniel Cooper Junior commissioned by John Reading on 4 July 1758, not Daniel Sr.
I.101 Morris County NJ Court of Common Pleas Minute Book Vol 2-3 (1754-1766) (FamilySearch DGS 7903193), image 93 of 410, printed pp. 161-162 — Tuesday 1 July 1760 General Sessions of the Peace + County Court at Morristown. Daniel Cooper image-verified in the JUDGES column alongside Robert Goble + Samuel Tuttle, with E. Byram + Robert Gold + David Luce as Justices. = first image-verified primary-source attestation of Daniel Cooper Sr's promotion from Justice of the Quorum to JUDGE of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas of Morris County. Combined with [I.100](I.100.yaml) (4 July 1758, Daniel Sr still in Justices column), this brackets the Justice→Judge promotion within a 24-month window: between July 1758 and July 1760. MAJOR catalog correction to Honeyman [M.24](../M-Societies/M.24.yaml) 'Judge 1768-1774' attribution — Daniel Sr's Judge tenure now established as starting by 1 July 1760 = 8 years earlier than Honeyman.
I.113 Morris County NJ Court of Common Pleas Minute Book Vol 4-6 (1766-1778) (FamilySearch DGS 7903185), image 264 of 669, March Term 1771 — William Neilson v Benjamin Cooper & co — Fieri Facias de Bonis et Tenementis in Case. Sheriff returned that he has levied and seized on 2,000 acres in Pequannock Township Morris Co. NJ where Benjamin Cooper now lives, jointly owned by Benjamin Cooper and Lord Stirling, including the Hibernia Furnace and other buildings; remains unsold for want of buyers. = MAJOR NEW catalog finding: Benjamin Cooper's residence c.1770-71 was Pequannock Twp Morris Co. (NOT Lebanon Twp Hunterdon as A.1 1795 attests for the later period); 2,000-acre Cooper-Stirling Hibernia property scale primary-source-attested for the first time; earliest documented Cooper-Stirling creditor / Sheriff's levy.
I.129 Biographical and Genealogical History of Morris County, New Jersey, Vol. II (Lewis Publishing Co., New York, 1899), Vol. II p. 937 [Ancestry image-pagination] — 'THE COOPER FAMILY OF MORRIS COUNTY' narrative biographical section embedded in the Joseph W.
