• L.4 Hand-drawn Family Tree: Descendants of Daniel Cooper and Grace Runyon (1695–1895)
• I.85 The Wyckoff Family in America (1950, 2nd ed., Wyckoff Association in America, Summit NJ; ed. Streeter 1934; comp. William Forman Wyckoff) — printed pp. 287–288 entry #56 (=52.) JACOB6 WYCKOFF × THEODOSIA COOPER family = published-source-grade verbatim Wyckoff-genealogy entry naming all 11 children with marriages + dates. MULTI-CORRECTION of L.72/L.74 tree-tier readings: (a) child #6 1808 = Fanny Cooper Wyckoff (NOT James Cooper Wickoff per L.72; resolves the L.72/L.74 conflict in favor of L.74 Fanny reading); (b) Jacob's son (L.72 #3) = Jacob HARVEY Wyckoff at published-level (= primary-source-supersedes the F.108 high-res 'Henry' zoom reading); (c) child #5 = Simon I. (NOT Simon J. or Simon P.); (d) Gertrude's 2nd marriage (Cross) date = Dec. 9, 1814 (NOT 1817 per L.74 + NOT 1812 per F.109). MAJOR CDV-LINE FINDING — E.C. SEARLE RE-IDENTIFICATION: Wyckoff book identifies child #2 Catherine Elizabeth Wyckoff (b. Apr. 1, 1799 — d. June 27, 1884) m. Oct. 6, 1827, Zetus Searle (b. Mar. 13, 1799 — d. May 12, 1880) = Catherine Elizabeth Wyckoff Searle is the strongest E.C. Searle candidate per CDV [H.2](../H-Photograph-CDV/H.2.yaml) caption. DISCONFIRMS L.72's hypothesis that 'E.C. Searle' = Eleanor Conover Wyckoff: Wyckoff book entry 130 explicitly lists Eleanor C. Wyckoff (b. Mar. 18, 1813 — d. Apr. 1, 1908) as m. Mott S. Cannon, m. (2) Dr. Stephen Childs — NO Searle marriage. New datum: Jacob Wyckoff baptized Apr. 23, 1775 in Hunterdon Co. NJ (= same era + place as Theodosia b. 1775/76 White House Hunterdon = same baptismal church candidate). STILL NOT primary-source-locked: Theodosia Cooper's parents (Wyckoff book is silent on her parentage; doesn't confirm Benjamin Cooper 1741-1794 hypothesis from L.72)

• L.72 Ancestry Family Tree — 'Theodosia Cooper' (b. 1775/1776 White House Hunterdon Co. NJ — d. 29 Apr 1839 Williamsburg NY) = CDV-LINE DISAMBIGUATOR PER PROJECT pr.11 Two Johns on Cooper tree (RETIRED).md: per [H.2](../H-Photograph-CDV/H.2.yaml) CDV caption Theodosia Wyckoff = sister of John Cooper Sr. (= father of CDV subject John D. Cooper). PARENTS per tree: Capt. Benjamin Cooper 1741-1794 + Catherine Haviland 1733-1803 (= tree-tier; STILL NOT primary-source-locked post-v193.40 [I.85](../I-Published/I.85.yaml) — Wyckoff book is silent on Theodosia's Cooper parents). Spouse: Jacob Wyckhoff 1773-1849, m. 1794 Monmouth NJ. 11 children. v193.40 [I.85](../I-Published/I.85.yaml) MAJOR CORRECTION: prior tree-tier-only L.72 hypothesis 'E.C. Searle = Elenor Conover Wyckoff' = DISCONFIRMED at published-Wyckoff-genealogy level: Wyckoff book entry #130 names Elenor's husbands as Mott S. Cannon + Dr. Stephen Childs, NEVER Searle. NEW E.C. Searle candidate per I.85 = sister Catherine Elizabeth Wyckoff (b. 1799 d. 1884) m. Oct. 6, 1827 Zetus Searle (1799-1880) = ROOT of the existing catalog Wyckoff-Searle 4-generation chain ([F.5](../F-Church-Vital/F.5.yaml) + [D.7](../D-Federal-Census/D.7.yaml) + [D.15](../D-Federal-Census/D.15.yaml) + [D.21](../D-Federal-Census/D.21.yaml)). Tree-level = low certainty per memory feedback_ancestry_family_trees_low_certainty.md BUT corroborated by [F.107](../F-Church-Vital/F.107.yaml) Blenheim Dutch Reformed NY birth record for daughter Harriet 1804 + [F.108](../F-Church-Vital/F.108.yaml) Jacob H[arvey] 1802 + [F.109](../F-Church-Vital/F.109.yaml) Gertrude × Stephenson 1812 marriage + [I.85](../I-Published/I.85.yaml) Wyckoff book full-family verbatim. If parentage chain holds: RESTORES THE BENJAMIN → JOHN → JOHN D. COOPER CDV-LINE CHAIN that was invalidated v193.36 when Bridgewater John A. Cooper ≠ CDV John D. Cooper. Plus introduces NEW Benjamin-wife candidate Catherine Haviland (still tree-tier; NOT corroborated at I.85 published-source level)
• L.74 Ancestry tree person-record Gertrude 'Gittie' Wyckoff Stevenson-Cross b. 27 Sep 1795 Schoharie NY — d. 29 Jan 1885 Bernards Twp Somerset NJ age 89 = expanded timeline + relationships for [L.72](L.72.yaml) child #1 Gertrude; 2 marriages (Cornelius L Stevenson 1812 + James Cross 1817) + 6 children + full sibling list 1795-1820 (= corroborates L.72 11-child sibling list with discrepancies — Fanny Cooper Wyckoff 1808 NOT in L.72, James Cooper Wickoff 1808 NOT in L.74); = tree-tier source feeding the [F.109](../F-Church-Vital/F.109.yaml) + [G.126](../G-Cemetery/G.126.yaml) primary-source corroboration chain

• F.107 Blenheim Dutch Reformed Church NY register page — 'Hariot Cooper' birth 2 Dec 1804at 'Jacob Wickoff / Theodosia Cooper' parents = PRIMARY-SOURCE-GRADE BIRTH RECORD for Harriet Wyckoff 1804-1828, daughter of [L.72](../L-FamilyTrees/L.72.yaml) Theodosia Cooper Wyckoff b. 1775= independent corroboration of L.72 tree claim that Theodosia (Benjamin Cooper's daughter) married Jacob Wyckoff + had daughter Harriet 1804. Register entry uses 'Hariot' (= variant of Harriet) + 'Cooper' name reflecting maternal-line Cooper-family-naming traditionin Wyckoff children (= same pattern as son James CooperWickoff 1808 per L.72)
• F.108 Blenheim Dutch Reformed Church NY register page — 'Jacob H[arvey?/enry?] Wickoff' birth 15 Nov 1802at 'Jacob Wickoff / Theodosia Cooper' parents = 2nd PRIMARY-SOURCE-GRADE BIRTH RECORD for Theodosia × Jacob Wyckoff family children, sibling to [F.107](F.107.yaml) Hariot 1804. Independent corroboration of [L.72](../L-FamilyTrees/L.72.yaml) tree claim that Theodosia (Benjamin Cooper's daughter per tree) had child #3 Jacob Harvey Wyckoff b. 15 Nov 1802 Blenheim Schoharie NY.
