FLEET & COOPER Connection?

Surnames: COOPER, FLEET, BACON
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.
