  • Notes 
    • Notes on Obadiah Cooper as per Dr. A.C. Bowerman of Prince Edward County

      " Obadiah Cooper was English. When a lad of 11 years he was "pressed" into the British Navy, where he learned the trade of a tailor, which he followed after his escape.
      He settled in Dutchess County, New York State, where he was twice married.
      His first wife was Sarah Pyer.
      His second wife was a widow named Van Vlack, who had a son named Henry.
      Henry Van Vlack had two sons, one named Elias, who settled at Waupoos, the other named Stephen, settled at Milford, both in the County.
      A son named James was born out of the marriage to the widow Van Vlack, he was born on August 3, 1976. "

      Obadiah Cooper came to Canada in 1802, crossing over at Kingston, and then onto Prince Edward County.
      Odadiah brought all his family with him.

      It is presumed that since James was born in 1796, that Obadiah remarried in 1795.
