The Early History of the Coopers
in Carlow
I believe this very establishment Cooper line
was related to another one, although of the Quaker faith,
The Coopers of Coopers Hill, Queens
county.
See The
Coopers of co. Carlow, Queens county and Dublin Deed Memorials for
extract summaries of the deed memorials mentioned on this and the above
mentioned two pages.
Two brothers, William and Thomas Cooper, would
each become the senior administrator of the King's Chancery Court for
Ireland although neither were to establish a male line of descent
further than the next generation and so they are little remembered
today.
William Cooper first appears on record in
Dublin in 1720 when his brother Thomas leased two plots in Graigue,
Queens county to William Cooper of Dublin, Gent. (memorial 28/98/16678)
