The last-named lived in Utica, New York.
The first three were born in Southampton, after which Mr. Cooper moved with his family to Montgomery, Orange county. New York, where he resided for several years, during which time the others were born.

He removed again to Utica (about 1795) and, about 1818, to Ox Bow, in this county, where he remained until his death.

His wife also died at Ox Bow, whither they removed to be with their children.

The Old Cemetery At Ox Bow

The old cemetery at Ox Bow containing sixty-eight one-hundredths of an acre, and located in the village, adjoining the Presbyterian church, was donated to the public by Abraham Cooper, in 1822, at which time his father, John Cooper, was buried there; his being the first interment in the ground. The enclosure has become closely crowded, and since laying out of the new cemetery very few burials have been made in the old one.
