Descendants of Robert Cooper


15. SAMUEL5 COOPER (WILLIAM A.4, JAMES3, ROBERT2, ROBERT1) was born Abt. 1745 in Granville Co., N.C. (?). He married AGNES.

Notes for SAMUEL COOPER:
Probably the Samuel Cooper who received a Spanish land grant on Sandy Creek dated Feb. 24, 1795. He evidently returned with Absalom Griffin in 1805 and claimed William Cooper's land based on a Spanish grant of Jan. 1, 1793. This would indicate William was his father or at least he was an heir.
Samuel Cooper's will was dated Sept. 18, 1777 (during the American Revolution) and was probably made as a safeguard in case he was killed. It mentions his smith's tools. It was witnessed by James Brandon, Hugh Jenkins, and John Hagin.
