Thomas* Cooper

Other Events and Attributes:

• Immigration: 1635, "Christian," Boston, Massachusetts; from England
• Residence: 1643, Springfield, Hampden Co, Massachusetts

Notes:

Thomas Cooper: (Cowper) 41 acres owned in 1647. (-1).
BIRTH: Thomas Cooper was born abt 1618 at Olney, Buckinghamshire, Eng, son of George COOPER and Rebecca BOSWORTH..
MARRIAGE: Married Sarah SLYE abt 1636/1641 probably at Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts..
DEATH: 5 Oct 1675 Springfield.(See biography for details.) His estate was valued at £87..
BIOGRAPHY: He arrived in Boston from England in the ship "Christian" in 1635 and came with John Stiles? company from England to Windsor in 1641 and to Springfield in 1643 where he purchased a home lot 14 rods wide and more than 80 rods long for 25 pounds. As a business associate of John Pynchon, Cooper polished and strung wampum, (shell money), by piercing the shells with an awl or drill and stringing the beads and shells in fathoms---the length of outstretched arms---six feet. He was a fur trader, auditor of the selectmen?s accounts, a practicing attorney before the county court, a practical farmer and carpenter, a surveyor, and a bone-setter. Goodwife Cooper often assisted Mistress Pynchon..
Thomas was elected to the first town governing committee in 1644 and later was deputy of the General Court. He served as a selectman for 20 terms. Thomas was a brisk, outspoken man, sometimes difficult to get along with, a good fighter, and had great influence with the local Indians. As a fur agent, Cooper was supplied with trading cloth and wampam by John Pynchon to trade for furs with the Indians. On 27 Jun 1652, Cooper received credit for 348 skins of beaver. Cooper?s outstanding debts to John Pynchon stood at £1000 on 1 Oct 1656 and he continued to be heavily in debt to Pynchon for the remainder of his life. .
In the first election of selectman (administrative board in towns of New England) to be held on 26 Sep. 1644, those chosen were Henry Smith, Thomas Cooper, Samuel Chapin, Richard Sikes, and Henry Burt. In 1649, Thomas Cooper shared a team of oxen with Mr. Moxon (who was a Parson in Springfield) and they were fined 1 ½ bushels of wheat for allowing the oxen to be left unattended across the river. .
In February 1645, he contracted with the town of Springfield to construct the first meeting house, for the price of £80, to be paid in wheat, pork, peas, wampam, debts or labor. The meeting house built was 40 feet in length; 25 feet breadth; 9 feet betwixt joints, double studded with four large glass windows and one smaller window and one large door and two smaller doors. This was to be completed by the 30 Sep 1646. He completed it in less than one month as on 26 Mar 1646 the town acknowledged that Cooper had fulfilled his bargain..
By 1647 he owned 41 acres of land for which he was taxed 11 shillings 4 pence. Taxes could be paid in wheat at 3 shillings 10 pence, Indian corn at 2 shillings 6 pence, or peas at 3 shillings per bushel..
Thomas Cooper was a regular customer of the store owned by John Pynchon and at one time his bill amounted to over 681 pounds. He regularly brought in trade goods of beaver, moose, and deer skins traded from the Indians as well as wild honey and performed carpentry work. Thomas was a member of the inquest jury who determined the cause of death of John Harmon?s son, Ebenezer, who drowned at the age of three. .
Originally land in Springfield was bought from the Indians by a committee or agent for the town. Later individuals would sell blankets, food, and tools to the natives on credit with land as mortgage. Thomas had taken a mortgage from Amoacussen, a Woronoco Indian, in 1660 and received an absolute deed in 1664 when Amoacussen failed to pay. Later the sachems Allignot, Neemp, and Wallump claimed that Amoacussen was not the sole owner of the land and the Hampshire court ordered Thomas to pay them 110 fathom of wampum to get clear title. He probably still made money on the deal..
Jonathan Burt and Thomas Cooper were witnesses of the "spoken" desires of Henry Burt prior to his death. (Thomas Cooper may be a brother-in-law to Jonathan. In those days brother-in-law also means his brother by another marriage of a parent i.e. step-brother; or he could be related to Jonathan?s wife or married to one of his sisters.) Thomas was an Ensign and Jonathan Burt served as first Corporal in the offices of the trained military band of Springfield. He often served in the capacity of a juror; assisted Benjamin Cooley in taking inventory of Nathaniel Bliss? estate. In 1663 his seat in the meeting house was on the first row, a mark of success and respect. .
.
King Phillip?s War broke out and on 4 October 1675, John Pynchon and many of the Springfield men were dispatched to Hadley, Massachusetts, to pursue the enemy. The Agawam Indians living near Springfield had been friendly with the whites, but decided to join Phillip?s war of extermination. Toto, an Indian living with a Windsor family, told them of the planned Agawam attack on Springfield. A man was sent to Springfield with the news, arriving in the dead of night, and all the citizens gathered in the three fortified houses in the village..
No attack had come by morning and many thought it was a false alarm. Lieutenant Cooper knew the name of every Agawam Indian - he had dealings with them as an officer of the law, had aided them with loans of seeds or utensils, and did not fear them. He and Thomas Miller rode out to scout the Indian fort. Advancing toward it, they were fired upon and Miller was instantly killed. Lieutenant Thomas Cooper, being very athletic and vigorous, returned to Springfield at a gallop, clinging to his saddle. The horse stopped at the Pynchon house and Thomas fell to the ground dead. This was on 5 Oct 1675. The Indians then attacked the town, burned 33 houses and 22 barns, plundered the deserted houses, but the three houses where the people had fled to were well fortified and few were killed. Major Pynchon with 200 troopers returned at a dead run from Hadley and the Indians retreated with their booty. .

Notes:

The following information regarding Rebecca Sherman and her family is taken from the Lorraine Barrow Silva Collection of the Wallisville Heritage Park Foundation. This particular item can be found under "Chambers County History Notebook." It follows as such:
"REBECCA SHERMAN, with her children came to Texas some time between 1850 and 1854. She and her husband, Jacob H. Sherman, were moving to Texas from Missouri when he died along the way, November 18, 1850. She was the mother of quite a large family. She stopped in another county evidently before coming to Chambers County. They moved in an ox wagon and when they reached here, they settled in the community now known as Eminence, as it was near the water and afforded transportion for buying and selling. Her family is still well represented in the county. Her sons were as follows: William S. Sherman, Leverett Sherman, Jacob Sherman, Jr., John T. Sherman, Lothrop B., and Richard H. Sherman."

Notes:

On 27 Oct 1855 Jacob purchased the first of his land in present-day Chambers Co. On30 Apr 1860 he purchased 3/4 of an acre in the town of Wallisville, on the east fork of the Trinity River, for $125. On 19 Jul 1863 he paid $250 for land also in Wallisville.
On 8 Aug 1863 Jacob left Sarah and children and enlisted in Captain Thomas A Wooten's Company B of the Texas State Troops Cavalry. He was 43 years old at the time and entered the company as a private. Records in the Texas State Library inde he was stationed at Camp Wood near Liberty five days after his enlistment.
He returned safely home from the war and began to expand his land holdings. In addition to purchasing land, he built and owned one of the two cotton gins in Wallisville, ginning cotton in 400-pound bales. It would then be shipped to Galvn to be sold. Disaster struck Jacob on 17 Sep 1875 when a hurricane devastated Wallisville. The cotton gin survived, although the lint room, engine room, and the lower part of the gin were all carried away. Other buildings, outhouses, and family furniture were also lost. His home was severely damaged, but survived. Jacob appears to have rebuilt the gin because the note for a new Tanney screw press for packing cotton was paid off 14 Oct 1876.
In the 1864 election year Jacob Hamilton Sherman won the position of county treasurer.

There is a reference to J.T. as "Dr."
Civil War - Enlisted on August 7, 1863 in Captain Thomas A. Wooten's Company B of the Texas State Troops Cavalry. He was 40 years old at the time, entering the company as a private. Records in the Texas State Library indicate that he was stationed at Camp Wood near Liberty five days after his enlistment.
1870 census showed real and personal property valued at $10,500. "The most obvious documentary evidence of the impact of the Reconstruction can be found in the census and tax records kept both befoe and after the war. Most property holders suered. With much of their material wealth tied up in newly enfranchised slaves, such a downturn in personal wealth is hardly surprising."

Notes:

There have been many variations of his middle name,Brookway, Blockman, several other spellings. In reserching various Shermans/Stebbins for Richard's family, there was a collateral family named Brockway. I'm betting this was the source of his name. There was also a Lothrop family marrying into the Brockway family - in fact, there was a Lathrop Brockway. This is same Lothrop/Lathrop family of Jane Lothrop who married Samuel Fuller whose daughter married Nicholas Bonham, who we believe is our Catharine Bonham Madden's ancestor. It may turn out we're doubly related to Samuel Fuller if we could find Richard Sherman's exact connection.


Civil War - Lothrop enlisted August 7, 1863 in Captain Thomas A. Wooten's Company B, Texas State Troops Cavalry. He was 38 years old at the time he entered the company as a private.

Lothrop and Mary's daughter Amanda Petronella Sherman was born 15 October 1863 in Chambers County and died 14 December 1918 in Beaumont. She married Andrew Prather Jones on 16 November 1882 in Chambers County. He died on 9 June 1929 in Beaumont. Both are buried in the Magnolia Cemetery in Beaumont.

"Jacob Haven Sherman Sr.'s seventh child was Lothrop Blookway Sherman. Lothrop arrived in present day Chambers County in 1854 and married Mary in 1855. Since she was a widow, she had separate funds. On 28 October 1856, Mary paid $30 for the purchase of 1/4 of a league of the Shadrack Burney survey from Tabitha Jane Shelton Jones. This became their home place. By 1860, Lothrop had cleared and improved 131 acres, with 93 acres left to clear. That year it was reported he owned one horse, one mule, one milk cow, eight working oxen, twenty cows, five sheep and twenty head of swine. He harvested one hundred and fifty bushel of Indian corn, eleven bales of cotton, fifty pounds of wool, three hundred bushels of sweet potatoes, and three hundred gallons of wine. After farming their homestead for seven years, Lothrop heard the patriotic call of the Civil War at the age of 38. He left Mary, who was seven months pregnant (with Amanda) and their three small children, and enlisted on 7 August 1863 in Captain Thomas A. Wooten's Company B, Texas State Troops Cavalry. He entered the company as a private. Lothrop returned safely home from the war to once again farm his land and to live another twenty-five years with his loving supportive wife."

Name:
Name: Lothrop -- apparently named for the Lothrop family who married into the Fuller family -- i.e. Mayflower descendants.

Brockway -- seen many spellings of this name - Blockway, Brookway, Blookway -- and others. Blockway is a family name that married into the Stebbins line beginning back 4 generations from Rebecca, a Bridget Blockway. Quite reasonably the source of the name.

Notes:

Edward had brown hair and blue eyes. On Nov 30, 1885, Edward purchased 113.3 acres of land on the N.D. Labadie survey at Lake Charlotte, where he built a home for Nellie, his bride to be. Two months later on 6 Jan 1886 he purchased lot 10 of block 3 in the town of Wallisville. Later that month on 25 Jan 1886 he purchased land located in Wallisville from his sister Emma Scales for $125. Edward sold the Wallisville land on 9 Jan 1889. 31 May 1886 he also purchassed 30 acres on the M.A. Carroll survey, located on Turtle Bay, from his Uncle John T. Sherman for $300. 12 Jul 1890; 40 acres of James McFaddin survey for $225, to pay in charcoal and cordwood and $175 note at 10% interest. 1 Oct 1903, 640 acres of the N.D. Labadie survey for $960. Total Lake Charlotte holdings, approx 825 acres. They did not keep all the land. Some was purchased by Volney McManus in 1891 and Nellie's sister Mary Ann bought some in Feb 1893. Other acreage was also sold after the timber had been cleared.
Edward was a coal burner by trade, needed a lot of land for the timber. To produce the coal, hardwood trees were cut into 6-foot lengths then split like cordwood. The bottom layer of the wood would be stacked in a crisscrossed pattern to alw for good airflow. The sides would be stacked like a teepee. A fire would be built inside the wood teepee on top of the crisscrossed floor. Dirt would be put on the fire to make sure it burned slowly. The fire would have to be watched continuously to keep it from becoming too hot and burning up the wood. After 72 hours of slow burning, the end product would be coke, or charcoal, which was then packed into burlap bags, shipped to Galveston, and sold for 30 cents a bag. It was used in stoves for heating. It was reported ear year there were over 22,000 bags of charcoal shipped out of Turtle Bayou on the charcoal boats.

Edward married Nellie Shelton on 29 Dec 1886 in Chambers Co, Texas. Nellie (daughter of Amos Clinton Shelton and Caroline Wiggins) was born on 16 Dec 1867 in Eminence, Chambers Co, Texas; died on 16 Jul 1930 in Lake Charlotte, Chambers Co, Texas; was buried in Sherman Cem, Lake Charlotte, Chambers Co, Texas.
