General Notes: Husband - Nathan Cooper

---

He was born in England, was reared and educated in his native land. In 1826, accompanied by his bride, he emigrated to America, settling in New York City, where he worked for ten years at his trade of painting. He then removed to Sugargrove, Warren County, Pennsylvania, and purchased a farm of ninety-six acres from the Holland Land Company, which he cleared and cultivated, conducting a general farming business. He built a stone and log house, which was later replaced by a frame dwelling, in 1849. Without exception the location of this land was the best in Warren County, commanding a grand view of the surrounding country for twenty miles, including the village of Sugargrove, which was about three miles distant at the foot of the slope. There was sufficient slope to the land for irrigation purposes, and the orchards, meadows, and groves of maple trees, called sugar bushes, made a scene in the autumn which was beyond the skill of the artist to reproduce.
Mr. Cooper assisted in erecting the first church edifice in Freehold township, and also assisted in erecting the first church edifice in Sugargrove, the Methodist Episcopal, of which he was a member. He was an Old Line Whig and Republican, and was strenuously opposed to slavery, as was also his wife.
