Notes for Benjamin Cooper:
Benjamin left Philadelphia and went first to the Isle of Wight, VA., where he was given a land patent to 100 acres in 1725. How long Benjamin stayed in Isle of Wight County, is unknown; but later he patened 190 acres and still later another 130 acres. Not many years later he was domiciled in Loudoun County, VA. Two of his two sons, Fleet and Thomas, (there were probably other children) were the progenitors of most of the Coopers in Virginia, North Carolina, and on west to California. Benjamin later moved to Kentucky where many descendants still remain or did in 1931.

32. James6 Cooper, Sr. (George Ashley5, John4, John3, Richard2, John1)3,4 was born May 16, 1661 in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England, and died December 04, 1732 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. He married (1) Hester Abt. 1686 in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England.

She was born Bet. 1665 - 1670 in Falls Meeting, Buck County, Pennsylvania, and died December 04, 1732 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.

Notes for James Cooper, Sr.:
Immigrated to America in 1682. By 1685 James had settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He had first settled in Trenton, New Jersey on land given him by good-friend Edward Byllynge, deeds dated September 21 and 22, 1682. He later purchased a lot on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, PA., [deed dated, October 20, 1585] sold his NJ land & settled in Philadelphia. For 30-years he was a storekeeper at the northwest corner of Arch Street and 2nd Street in Philadelphia. His will was written in 1732 [see below]. Although his wife Mary was mentioned in the will, she was buried with him on the same day, according to the Pennsylvania Gazette of December 7, 1732.

Murphy Rowe Cooper's book, The Cooper Family, indicates that James Cooper Sr. was a first cousin to Judge William Cooper, the father of James Fenimore Cooper.

This information differs from information from two different sources. The Cooper Genealogy, published by the NY State Historical Assoc. in Cooperstown indicates in its listings that James Cooper, Sr. (1661-1732) is the grandfather of Judge William Cooper (1754-1809). Also, James Fenimore Cooper himself wrote in an 1848 letter: "My descent in this country runs...James [1661-1732]; William [1701?-1736]; James [1729-1795]; William [1754-1809]; James Fenimore Cooper." [1789-1851]. The dates were added in brackets to show the time frames researchers have recorded--they aren't in his letter.

James was the great-great grandfather of James Fenimore Cooper, the famous author of Coopestown, New York.

First Generation
JAMES COOPER of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England, born 1661, died December 4, 1732; married (1st) Hester ----- (d. 1706) of whom biographical notice in "The Friend," a Quaker journal, volume 28, page 51 (8 children); married (2d) Mary Borrows, in 1722; (no children). Mary is named in the will of her husband, but was buried with him, on the same day, as shown by the record of Racestreet Meeting, Philadelphia, and the Pennsylvania Gazette of December 7, 1732.
The name of James Cooper as witness is on many deeds recorded at Philadelphia in the course of forty years. He witnessed the will of John Jennings in 1688, but the original is doubtless among papers bearing on a legal contest now pending in England. The actual signature of James Cooper is on the Friends petition of 1694 addressed to William III, King of Great Britain (original in possession of Historical Society of Pennsylvania) and on the original in the Philadelphia Library of another petition, in the year 1710, given at page 29, volume 4, of Hazard's Register. Also on legal papers of 1698, 1708 and 1723, yet on file at Philadelphia. Arch-street Meeting records him in 1698 as purchaser of the "Old Bank Meeting House" described at page 378, volume 1, of "Watson's Annals of Philadelphia." In 1705 he applied to meeting for a certificate when intending to visit Barbadoes, and again in 1714, when he designed to visit New England. In the same records his name appears frequently as witness at marriages.
Martindale's History of Byberry st page 46 mentions that James lent £50 to rebuild the meeting house, and was repaid in 1723. In the same history, page 301, he is recorded as a signer of the traveling certificate of a prominent member of Byberry meeting.
During thirty years James was a storekeeper at the northwest corner of Arch street and Second street, Philadelphia. On Arch street his ground extended 455 feet toward Third street, but was only 51 feet deep.
James wrote his will in July 1732. The original (No. 296) is recorded at Philadelphia in Will Book E, page 219. As the will had not been signed, the estate was distributed among heirs by a partition deed, G. 6, page 419, August 2, 1734.
At Trenton, N. J., in Gloucester records, G 1 pages 39-79. Deeds for land September 21 and 22, 1682, from Edward Byllynge, proprietary of West Jersey, to James Cooper, of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England, "out of ye good will and kindness which for ye truth's sake he beareth unto ye said James Cooper."
In 1683 James bought a lot on Chestnut street, Philadelphia (opposite the marble custom house). On October 20, 1685, he sold the Jersey land and settled in Philadelphia. He was of the petit jury in 1686, and foreman of the grand jury in February 1701, O.S., at Philadelphia.

The deed recorded in F 10, page 238, year 1728, recites that the ground on Arch street, thereby conveyed, was bought by James Cooper in 1686 (deed E l, volume 5, page 461). The conveyance is indorsed: "On the 14th day of June, A.D. 1732, came the within named James Cooper, and brought the within written conveyance, which he acknowledged to be his deed," &c.
All the city property conveyed by deeds above indicated, remained on ground rent for distribution, in accordance with a partition deed signed by the heirs in August 1734.

     Samuel A. Pancoast lived c 1827-1835 at Barnesville, Belmont County, Ohio, USA.³ It is thought Mary Frost remarried after Samuel Pancoast died and their son, William Frost Pancoast, was raised by his grandfather, Joseph Pancoast.¹ He was born on 7 November 1808 at Belmont County, Ohio, USA.^4,2 He married Mary Frost, daughter of William Rose Frost and Nancy ROBERTS, on 26 May 1831 at Belmont County, Ohio, USA.^3,2,5 Samuel A.

     Cemetery headstones and census records provide a good record of the Park/Parks surname following Moses Park (1738). His sons Thomas, John, Moses, and James chose the surname of Park. The other son, George, that remained in Mecklenburg County, NC, chose the surname of Parks. The subsequent generations descended from George also kept the Parks surname.

Information provided by Rollie Taylor 5 Jun 2012. Moses PARK was He furnished supplies to the Continental Army and serves as a tax assessor. (Pay vouchers #112 and #323; North Carolina Department of Archives and History, Revolutionary Army Accounts, 6: 40, folio 03, #103; Jo White Linn, Abstracts of the Minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, Rowan County, North Carolina, 1775-1778, 3:22)



Above reference taken directly from page 703 of Members and Patriots, The Tennessee Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, 1985-2001, Volume 4. The birthplace and ancestry of Moses Park is unproven. Stafford, Virginia and Hunterdon County, New Jersey have been suggested as possible birthplaces. Percival David Park, of Charlottesville, VA, in his manuscript, "Possible Origins of Some Park Families in the Eastern Part of Old Rowan County, North Carolina", August 1994, has concluded that Moses Park is possibly a descendant of Roger Parke of Hunterdon County, NJ (born in England about 1638, came to New Jersey about 1682, died after 1703, probably at Hopewell, Hunterdon County, New Jersey). One of Roger Parke's sons was John Parke (born about 1674, died about 1757), who married Sarah Smith, daughter of Andrew Smith, Sr. One of the sons of Sarah Smith and John Parke was named John Parke, and is referred to in the "Origins" manuscript as John Parke II. John Parke II wife's name was Mary, and these may be the parents of Moses Park (b. 1738, d. 1828). These men are found in official records, but the suggested relationships are based on circumstantial evidence and cannot be confirmed with currently available information.

John DANIEL provided for Martha in his will: "It is my will and desire that all the Negroes of which I may be possessed, together with every other species of personal property should be kept together upon my two plantations, vis, the plantation on which I now live, and ___ Mill (?) place for the natural benefit of my wife and children...And it is further my said desire that both my said plantations should be kept in good repair for cropping whether rented or not; and the particular profits arising from crops shall be applied to the use of my wife and the caring and education of my children share and share alike...and desire that when my wife marries or any of my children arrive at the age of twenty one years or marry, they or either of them upon the happening of such event shall be entitled a distributive share of my whole personal estate..."

The Hancock County census of 1830 (Series: M19 Roll:18 Page 151) line 21 shows Martha DANIEL, 50-60 (age 53), with 2 males 10-15 (Levi Lawrence David and Benjamin Franklin Bell), two males 15-20 ( John William and unknown), one male 20-30 (unknown), one female 15-20 (Carolyn Grace) and 55 slaves. Benjamin may have been marked in the 15-20 box and the second male 10-15 may then have been Martha's grandson, Levi Cake, who is not enumerated in his fathers' household, listed same page line 7.

In 1835, Martha's son, James Levi DANIELL moved his family to Russell County, Alabama. Martha, some of her children by Jack, and a number of Hancock County neighbors move to Glennville, Russell County, Alabama about the same time. On November 2, 1835, on a motion, the Hancock County Court of Ordinary ordered that Arthur J. BUTTS, Henry GAREY, James W. SIMMONS, Benjamin HARPER, and William BUTTS are appointed Commissioners to lay off and set apart to Caroline DANIEL her distributive share of the estate of her father and report their proceedings to the Executor. Martha DANIEL, widow, requested that her name be added to this motion. The Court so ordered.

Martha died September 9, 1842. She is buried in the Ivey Cemetery, Glennville, Russell County, Alabama near her son, James Levi DANIELL and wife, Elizabeth Clements BUTTS. Martha's headstone lies on the ground, broken from its base.

"DANIEL, William, Sr. (RS-SC) 1747-1807,

There was no child named Marsh; Martha had married Capt. Bryant MARSH.

Victor Russell DANIEL, M.D.,
a 3rd great-grandson of William and Lucretia Bell DANIEL of Edgefield County, South Carolina writes:
"I know that William O'DANIEL (b. about 1747) moved to SC in 1768.
He apparently acquired 1,000 acres of land in "Fairfield District" before joining his uncle, James O'DANIEL (Daniell), who had moved to SC shortly before.
As my grandfather wrote:
James became "the owner of a thousand acre tract of land on waters of Indian Creek, 5 or 6 miles East from the present Daniel plantation."
He further states that William: "soon thereafter acquired ownership of large landed interests on waters of Little Mine Creek in Edgefield District, where he lived the rest of his life, still owned by the Daniels; his landed holdings at the time of his death in 1807 exceeded 5,000 acres."
One of William's sons (named William) lived with his mother in Newberry (or Newberry County) after his mother's remarriage following the death of her husband.
He apparently moved back to his father's original land (currently near Saluda, SC and built a new house there in 1816 on what my grandfather referred to as "the present Daniel plantation." This building was regretfully demolished in, I believe the 1960's and the land has been sold.
According to my grandfather's notes,
William DANIEL, who moved to SC in 1768,
married Lucretia BELL, the daughter of Benjamin BELL, Sr.,
who owned land nearby.
She remarried Zachariah Smith BROOKS, from Newberry County.

Punctuation marks were rarely discernible.)-----
Remarks: In his will, proven in 1799, John O'Daniel of Fairfax County, Virginia names his son, William O'Daniel. William had shed his Celtic O' about the time he migrated to South Carolina, using Daniel as his surname. Most records, including his Will, show his name as William Daniel. William was given "one thousand acres of land lying in the state of Kentucky part of a greater track", in which William had already received an indenture for $10 and "love". All of John O'Daniel's children had dropped the Celtic O' by 1799, but John still used O'Daniel in all his children's names in his will. Previous information which lead Tuck Wilson and Robert Daniell to believe that William, b. 1747, was John O'Daniel's son was:
(1) Military record: "William Daniel – Born Centerville, Virginia, 1747; died Edgefield Dist., South Carolina, 1807. Enlisted in South Carolina under General Sumter. He married Lucretia Bell." (See D. A. R. Records 115 P. 6). Source: Family Archive Viewer, Virginia Military Records, Appendix:
Comment: State-Wide and Miscellaneous Records stating that William was born in Centerville, Virginia, and married Lucretia Bell. The deed above proves this assignment to be true.
Comment: As to William's Revolutionary Service, I reviewed several sources and can only find one William Daniel serving under Sumter. It is stated best in "Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution" by Bobby Gilmer Moss, page 231: " Daniel, William – born 1747, North Carolina, died 1807, marroed Lucretia Bell - He served in the militia under Col Taylor and Gen Sumter (moved to Georgia) A. A. 1725; McCall, III, 64." Note the b. 1747 North Carolina and Moved to Georgia. Compare the above to this from "Georgia Rev. War Soldiers Graves" Vol 2 page 418: Laurens County Georgia – William Daniel, b. 1747, d. 1807 served in the SC militia under Col. Taylor and Gen Tomas Sumter." I think both William Daniels are getting in on one record. Your Virginia record leads me to believe our William actually served under Taylor (a neighbor). There are mistakes everywhere. Tuck Wilson)

(2) John O'Daniel, William and Stephen O'Daniel's father, inherited land on Accotink Run, Fairfax, Virginia from his father, William (b. 1691?). John left this land to his wife, Anne "Nancy" McIntosh, for her lifetime, and in 1854, John's son, Stephen, died at his place called Airhill, near Centreville in Fairfax. This 19 acre plot was purchased by Stephen and adjoined the property granted to William (1691?), willed to John, and given to Nancy as a life estate.¹ John O. Daniel married Ann Nancy BOLING. John O. Daniel married Ann MOXLEY. John O. Daniel was born in 1718. He died on 19 January 1799 at Fairfax, Virginia, USA.
