Can anyone PLEASE help with locating descendants of the following
COOPER line from
Virginia?
Virginia patents and grants, as well as several other records suggest that a
Fleet COOPER, mostlikely was born in southeastern
Virginia. It could be that he was the same
Fleet COOPER of Nansemond County, VA, who sold land along the Blackwater River on 9 Mar 1757 which he purchased in Feb 1745. Thee also is
record of a
Fleet COOPER living in Elizabeth City County, VA, who was fined by the
Court 19 February 1718 for failing to attend church. Also in Elizabeth City
County a
Fleet COOPER witnessed the will of Robert BRIGHT on 19 Jan 1723/23. In 1645 or 1646 the SW portion of Elizabeth City County became Nansemond County. Possibly these two
Fleet COOPERs living fairly close related. Earlier
Virginia records link the "widow
Fleet" and a Jno. COOPER and his wife as grantors in a 1675
Gloucester County deed. This indicates a possible
Fleet and
COOPER connection. Other
York County, VA, records indicate connections between a widow, Anne FLEETE, and John
COOPER, here attorney. These documents were recorded between 1665 and 1672.
