NJ — 3 person-page PDF bundle: Alexander COOPER (5 Jun 1828 Long Hill — 8 Dec 1898 Hanover Morris NJ) [G.90](../G-Cemetery/G.90.yaml) + son William COOPER (Abt. 1852 NJ — Unknown) + son Abraham Parrot COOPER (5 Feb 1862 Long Hill — Unknown) [B.44 1895 SAR applicant]. Bundle supplied 2026-05-09 by maintainer for v191.11 sole-remaining-task = Y-DNA outreach via Daniel Jr → Peter (1761) → Alexander descendants per project pr.16 Cooper-Coriell Y-DNA mystery.md. CRITICAL FINDING per Ancestry tree (LOW CERTAINTY per memory feedback_ancestry_family_trees_low_certainty.md): BOTH William 1852 + Abraham Parrot 1862 show 'No spouse' in their tree person-pages = potential Y-line dead-end for ENTIRE Alexander → William/Abraham branch = potential dead-end for the v191.11 Y-DNA outreach plan. HOWEVER conflicts with [D.239](../D-Federal-Census/D.239.yaml) 1880 Morris Twp primary-source attestation that William COOPER Jr was married to Sarah G. (30, NJ-born) at King Boarding House family 496 age 28. Tree-grade-vs-census-grade discrepancy = tree LIKELY INCOMPLETE on William's spouse. Abraham Parrot's potential spouse + children TBD via [B.44](../B-Military/B.44.yaml) 1895 SAR application + post-1895 census forward-trace. Alexander's 9 children primary-source-confirmed via tree: George P (-1851 infant) + Susan B 1851-1878 + William 1852- + Martha Parrot 1855-1894 + Walter Alexander 1857-1859 (infant) + Elizabeth 1859- + Abraham Parrot 1862- + Anna 1864- + Mary 1866-.
