Great post, David -- I have relatives in the Oyster Bay area, and though I'm not that far back yet, that information is going to be invaluable! Thanks!

Wilma:
I know nothing about the people involved, but be careful of your places.
This sounds a bit like some of the stuff from "Ancestral File."
There was no Southampton in 1630. It & Southold, the two oldest English
Towns in New York State, were founded 1640. The marriage of Rev. John Cooper
to Ann Cooper [is that her maiden name ??] might have taken place in either
England or New England. Ditto the 1638 birth of their daughter Sarah.
Neither of these events could have taken place in a community yet to be
established or settled by Europeans.
