Did you have any
FLEET family in
Virginia in the mid-to late 1600s?
I am aware of an early
Virginia record which links the "widow
FLEET" and a Jno. COOPER and his wife as grantors in a 1675
Gloucester County deed. This record strongly suggests a family relationship of some kind between
FLEET and
COOPER surnames. This conclusion is further buttressed by several other extant
York County, VA, records revealing connections between a widow, Anne FLEETE, and John
COOPER, "attorney of Anne." These documents were recorded between 1665 and 1672.
Our earliest documented ancestor was
FLEET COOPER, Sr.
