William Cooper![]() d: 11th 1 mo. 1710 o.s. burried: old Newton burying ground at West Collingswood, NJ |
married | Margaret![]() |
Children born in England:
"William and Margaret Cooper were English Firends; he was born in the year 1632, but neither the date of her birth nor that of their marriage is known. They lived at Coleshill, a hamlet in Hertfordshire, about 29 miles northwest of London, and not quite three miles from "Jordans" the burial place of Penn. It has a population of about 600, and from its elevated position commands a view of six counties, while the beautifully wooded hills in its vicinity are celebrated. There they became convinced of the truth preached by George Fox and thence emigrated to America in the year 1679, bringing with them their five children, William, Hannah, Joseph, James and Daniel. They attended in England, the Friends' Meeting held at Thomas Elwood's house, one mile from Coleshill, and at Isaaac Pennington's, not three miles distant, and were members of Upperside Meeting of Friends from which they received the following certificate:
"Whereas William Cooper of Coleshill in ye p'rsh of Amersham and ye County of Hertford hath signified unto us that he hath an intention if ye Lord permits to transport himself with his wife and children unto ye plantation of West New Jersey and hath desired a testimonial from this meeting for ye satisfaction of Friends there or elsewhere unto whom he may be outwardly unknown.
We therefore whose names are here underwritten, do hereby certify all whom it may concern, that the said Willaim Cooper and Margaret his wife, having lived in these parts for many years, ever since ye first of their convincement, have walked conscientiously and honestly amongst us, agreeably to ye profession and testimony of truth, according to ye best of our observation and knowledge of them.
In witness wherof we have hereunto set our hands this fifth day of ye Twelfth month 1678."
As Twelfth month 5th 1678 old sytle corersponds with Second month 16th 1679 new style they probably did not reach America before the early summer of 1679. The exact date is not known.
They first settled at Burlington where William locateda survey of eighty acres "within the town bounds of Burlington," the return of the survey being dated October 1, 1680, They lived there hardly more than a year when, in the sdpring of 1681, they determined to move further down the river, and selected the high land at the mouth of Asoroches river, the Indian name for Cooper's Creek, where a dense pine forest then grew, from which Willicam Cooper named the place Pyne Poynte; but soon botyh point and creek were called by his name, which they have retained to this day.... The situation at the mouth of Cooper's Creek, on a bluff about twelve feet above mean high water, was a desirabel and commanding one. Here William Cooper located 300 Acres of land comprising the greater part of the present Fist and Second wards of the City of Camden...He built his house near the edge of the bluff on a site long since washed into the river by the inroads of the tide.
Upon this tract a tribe of Indians, whose Chief was Arasapha, had a village and kept up a constant intercourse by conoes with the oppoiste Indian village of Shackamaxon. Recognizing thier right to the soil, William Cooper purchased it from them also, and received from them a deed signed by Talacca, their resident chief, and witnessed by several of thier tribe. Thus he established friendly relations with the Indians of West Jerse by the same fair delaing that Penn used with those of Pennslyvania.
In 1689 he increase dhis holding of land by purchasing from William Royden tht tract of land immediately adjoining his first locaiton on the South and with it the Ferry across the Delaware that Royden had established in 1687 at the foot of the preent Cooper strret,Camden. By this purchase he became th owner of all the land in Camden from Cooper's Point to Line Street, so called because it is laid out on the line between the Cooper and Kaighn tracts.
He at onece became a prominent man in his new home, beign elected to the West Jersey Assermbly, which sat from the second to the sixth of May 1682 and re-elected 1683, 1684, and 1685. In his first term he was chosen one of the Commissioners for the dividing and regulating of lands, and a member of the commitee authorized to sell 500 Acres of public land in each Tenth to defray necessary public expenses. In 1684 he with ten others became security to William Pennn in 10L each "on the puclic account," and to secure them against loss the legislture granted to each 150 acres of public land....On May 23d, 1696, he was electeed by the Legislature a Judge of the County Court, taking his seat at the Cort held at Gloucester September 1st, 1696, and holding the position for one year. This was his last public office.
A member of the Society of Friends by convincement, he appeared as a public ministter in its meeting before leaving England and very soon in his new home took an active part in its proceedings.... Very soon after he settled at Pyne Poynte, Friend's meeetings were held at his house.... At a general meeting held at Salem Second Month 11th 1682 it wwas ordered "That a six weeks men's and women's meeting for ye ordering ye affairs of ye church be kept ye 34th of ye third month at Willm. Cooper's and ye next six week's meeting at Thos. Fiarman's as Shckamzxon and so in course." At the sem time "It was ordered that Firneds at Arwamus and those at Shackamaxon do meet together onece a month, "The first meeting to be at William Cooper's at Pine Point, at Arwamus". This is the origin of what is now Phialdephia Monthly Meeting.
In the spring of 1682 quite a boy of Irish Friends arrived and settled about Newwwton Creek. Thomas Sharp,one of thier number, in his quaint account of the origin of Newton meeting says: 'And immediately there was a meeting sett up and kept at the house of Mark Newby and in a short time it grew and increased unto which William Cooper and family that live at the Poynte resorted and sometimes the meeting was kept at his house who had been settled sometime before."
A little more than a year before his death William moved to Cooperstown, on the Marltom Turnpike, about one mile west of Ellisburg where he died First Month 11th, 1710. He was buried in the old Newton burying ground at West Collingwood."

Children:
"William Cooper Jr. learned the trade of a blacksmith, and married Mary, daughter of Edward and Mary Bradway of Alloways Creek, Salem County." Cooper
Residence:
Mary arrived in 1677 with father and mother, sister Susannah, and brother William, on the Ship Kent, Godfrey Marlow, Master, at Raccoon Creek.
"Among the early Friends of Salem, William Cooper was quite prominent for a young man. He and his father, William Cooper, emigrated to America about the year 1678, the father settling in Burlington county, whilst the son located at Salem, and followed his trade, which was that of a blacksmith... As near as can be ascertained, William and his family left Salem in 1688 and purchased land where Camden is now located, and resided there until his death, which took place in 1691." Fendick's Colony,
Will
"For so young a man he had acquired considrable property and consequnce leaving, besides personal propoerty inventoried at 236L 19 s. his dwelling house and sixteen acres of land in the town of Salem and 800 Acres of land on Alloways Creek. Three hundered acres of the latter were given to him by his father-in-law, Edward Bradway, these he devised to his son John; the remaining 500 acres on Alloways creek he purchased, and devised them to his two daughters, Hannah and Mary: his dwelling house and sixteen acres of ground he devised to his wife for life and "after her decease unto my son or daughter that she now goeth with, all unto him or her heirs forever." He also bequeathed to his wife all of his personal porperty while she continued his widow, but if she married again one half of it was to be dividied among his children. " Cooper
"William Cooper.. died in 1691, leaving a wiull, in which he names his father, William Cooper, his father-in-law, his wife Mary, and three children, John, Hannah and Mary. He probably died at Pyne Pint, and perhaps unexpectedly, as Samuel Spicer and Henry Wod,both residents near that palce, were witnesses to his will.
The inventory of his personal property disclosesthat he was a resident of Salem, and a blacksmith. His children marrried as follows: John married Ann Clark; Hannah married John Mickle, and Mary Benjamin Thackara. As may be seen, William was about twenty years of age at the timeof hiis coming to New Jersey. He was employed by his father in his own calling; this made him a useful man among the adventurers. He died young, and by his will left the care of his children to Edward Bradway and John Kay." Sketches

Children:
"John Houlston was a farmer, and early joined the Society of Friends. He was at a meeting at Shrewsbury, ... 1660 imprisoned 1664, and fined for refusing to take the oath of allegiance 1670; being then in gaol. In 1672 he was still in prison, but released the same year, having been detained in the "Common Gaol" for conscience sake "aboput seven years"(Besse's "Suffering of Friends"). It appears, however, that his confinement was not continuous, as he was certainly at liberty a part of the time. He married, according to tradition, about 1657 Elizabeth Serrill, and was living at Heath House farm, in Stanton, 1660, at Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, 1663, and his daughter Martha was born at Preston Boats, 1667. John Houlston removed to Pennsylvania very early; according to tradition in the "Welcome" with William Penn, in 1682. The warrant of Survey to him for 250 acres of land in Middleton township in the County of Chester, Pennsylvania, was dated 9 December, 1684, but he certainly in the Province in the Summer of 1683." Houlston History, p 121
"Martha Houlston was the daughter of John and Ann Houlston (or Houson, as entered on Thomas Holme's map). John and Ann Houlston had located northwest of and near Middletown, Pennsylvania, there being but one farm between his and that of David Ogden. Three of Martha's sisters passed meeting, and were probably married on the same day 1 mo. 2, 1685; Sarah married Peter Taylor, from whom President Zachary Taylor was a lineal descendant; Elizabetth married James Swaffer; and Rebecca married William Gregory. Chester records speak also of a son John, b. 9 mo. 19, 1686." Ogden pg 36
"A John Houlston was arrested with others in a meeting-house in Wales, 12 mo 15, 1660, and imprisoned fifteen years for not taking the oath of allegiance (Bessi's Suffering of the Quakers). It is not improbable that he was the father of Marrtha, and emigrated to America soon after his release. Martha's father died 3 mo. 12, 1699." Ogden, pg 37

David Ogden in Pennsylvania"Among those who ventured with William Penn upon his holy experiment in was David Ogden, a young man of strong sympathies and of sterling character.
Unrelenting persecutions in the mother country caused many of the new secct to turn thier eyes toward an asylumin th eNew Wiorld. With manyu conflicting hopes and fears, and counting many personal sacrifices, a goodly company determined to risk thir lots and fortunes in an autumn voyage over the stormy Atlantic.
The Welcome, a godly bark, carrying about three hundred tons burden, Robert Greenaway master, was off Deal, England 9 mo. 1, 1682, and, after a voyage of about two months, entered tthe Delaware capes, 10 mo. 24, arriving at New Castle, 10 mo. 27, 1682 (O.S.) About one hundred persons accompanied the proprietor, William Penn, who had been granted the territor of Pennsylvania by Charles II, in payment of a claim against the English government for L126,000, left him by his father, Admiral Penn. Many of Penn's fellow-passengers were of high birth and had been used to all the comforts of life, but they were willing to endure hardhip and privation in an attempt to found a colony in the New World with the rights of religious freedom. ...
The voyage of The Welcome was prosperous until the scoruge small-pox broke out in the midst of the Atlantic...Daivd Ogden appears to have rendered much assistance in caring for those suffering from the malady, as shown in the office of the recorder of wills, etc., in Philadelphia. He signed the nuncupattive will of Thomas Heriott, from Sussex, England, declared 7 mo. 19, 1692, on board The Welcome. Isaac Ingram, of Gatton, Surrey, left L2 to Daivd Ogden in his will dated 7 mo. 26, 1682 (O.S.). Being an unmarried man, his possession of a mirror and a toy glass hat is best explained by the supposition that suffering passengers whom he befriended gave them to him in affectionate regard for his services." Ogden pp 25 - 30
"The first Friend's Meeting within the present limits of Philadelphia was held at Shackamaxon in 1681. It was established a tthe house of Thomas Fairman in 1682 by the consent of the Burlington Meeting. To this meeting David Ogden presented the certificate given him by Friends in London, England. (21st of ye 11th mo. 1681\2) Ogden p. 33
"To this meeting, David Ogden made "application to proceed in marriage. At a meeting held ye 4th of ye 3 moth, 1685, a certificate was issued relative to his clearness, and James Claypoole and Jonathan Goodson were desired to inquire concerning him and to report at the next emeeting. There is no record of the committee's report, but that it was satisfactory appears from the folling extract from the minutes of Chester Monthly Meeting: 'Chester, Pa ye 4th of ye 11th mo, 1685. David Ogden now of Chester Co. Pa and Martha Houlston of the same, proposed their intention of Marriage at a meeting held at Chester, the 4th 11 mo, 1685.
At a meeting held at Chester, Pennsylvania, the 1st mo. 1, 1686, they proposed thier intention the second time, and everything appearing clear, they were allowed to proceed according to the order of the truth.
Martha Houlston was the daughter of John and Ann Houlston (or Houson, as entered on Thomas Holme's map). John and Ann Houlston had located northwest of and near Middletown, Pennsylvania, there being but one farm between his and that of David Ogden." Ogden pg 36
"David Ogden took up a 200 acre tract of land in Middletown, then in Chester, now Delaware County, Pennsylvania, recieiving his deed from the proprietor, William Penn by deed 29th of 12 mo. 1683. It was surveyed 4 mo. 27, 1684 by Thomas Holmes, Surveyor-General of the Province, and he probaly soon entered upon its improvement." Ogden, pg 37
"The original homestead was probably constructed of logs, and stood upon or near the Edgemont Great Road laid out in 1687, and which ran from 'Edgmont to ye Kings Highway in Chester being a Sixty foote road.' This road passed irregularly though David Ogden'sland.
In the year 1717, David's widow, then Martha Thomas, and son Jonathoan disposed of 41 acres from the middle of the original tract to Peter Hunter, upon which 41 acroes a brick house was then standing.... The old brick house has had quite a history as a public inn prior to the close of the Revolutionary War." Ogden, pg 38
"There is not much historic mention of the events of David Ogen's life, but the few recorded facts left us reveal a commendable Christian character, and point to a nobility of soul that endears his memory to his numerous descendants. The following item is important: David Ogden's name is signed to a minute in 1687 sent down by the yearly meeting to the Chester Monthly Meeting, cautioning them against selling rum to the Indians in the province. He was appointeed from Middletown Meetting, 8 mo. 13, 1690, to receive subscriptions for building a meeting-house in Chester.
He appears to have been a prosperous man for those times, as his last will and testament disposes of 400 acres of land with many improvements, he having doubled his original (200 acres). The additional tract of land which came into his possession was the next adjoining parallelogram laying to the southeast, and originally conveyed by Williiam Penn to John Hodskinson, 1 mo. 3, 1681. The latter's widow, Mary, and son, John, sold it to James Serrill, 12 mo. 15, 1698, and Serrill disposed of it to David Ogden 6 mo. 4, 1700. "The town of Lima, Delaware Coutny is "standing upon and on each side of the boundary line between the two original tracts.
David Ogden deceased 8 mo. 22, 1705. It is not definately known where he was burried, but being a member of Middletown Meeting, and his property having adjoined the meeting-house grounds, he is doubtless buried in the old section of the bury-ground." Ogden pp 39-40

Samuel meets and marries Mary Ann
"Samuel Ogden was a tanner and currier by trade, and came as a young man to New Jersey, settling at Battentown, one mile below Swedesboro, Gloucester Co., in 1767. As he and another journeyman tanner were walking on the road leading to Woodstown, N.J., they met a Swedish tanner, a stranger, with a load of leather and a pretty daughter, bound for Phila. Samuel remakred to his comnpanion 'That girl is my future wife.' The stranger proved to be John Hoffman, who soon secured Samuel's services, and true to first impressions and intention, Samuel marrried the daughter, Mary Ann." Ogden, pg 59
We have not the record of the marriage, bvut they declared intentions the first time at Salem Mo. M'T'g, held 1 mo. 29, 1770, and the second time 2 mo. 26, 1770. 'To this meeting come Samuel Ogden and Mary Ann Hoffman the second time and Declared thy continued their Intentions of Marriage with Each other and Nothing Appearing to Obstruct they Are left at their Liberty to Accomplish thier Intentions Acfcoding to good order and Benjamin Test and Isaac Barber are Appointed to Atten the said Marriage and see thata doo order be kept and Report to Nexstt M'T'g and reurn the Certificate to be Recorded.' At the monthly meeting held 4 mo. 2, 1770,the following record was made: "The Friends Appointed to attend the Marriage of Samuel Ogden and Mary Ann Hoffman Reported they Did attend and that it was orderly & returned the Certificate to be Recorded." Ogden pp. 59
Ogden family
"Samuel came into possession fo the Battentown tanner, and here Mary Ann bore him ten children, all of whom reached maturity, were married, and had issue. Here started the New Jersey branch of the Quaker Ogdens. Samuel subsequently purchased a farm near Woodstown, N.J. in 1801, where he and his wife passed the remaining years of thier life. Samuel's son, Joseph OGDEN, succeeded his father in the tanning business, an his grandson David Cooper Ogden, continued the same. His great-grandson, Clarson Ogden, now occupies the premises, being the fourth genreration at the original homestead.
In viewing the illustration of the homestead, the south or left end was originally built of logs, and was rebuilt in 1849; but the north or right end was an old frame structue at that time. A few hundred yards from the house is a picturesque little valley, on the side of which stand two old catalpa-trees, olda t the time, under which Samul's children had thier playhouses." Ogden pp 59-60.
From 1767 to 1801, Samuel lived at Battentown(one mile below Swedesboro), Gloucester Co., NJ, at the Battenwon tannery. In 1801 though 1821, he lived on a farm near Woodstown, NJ
