HISTORICAL REFERENCES

"COOPER, COUPAR, COUPER, COWPEH. This surname occurs in one form or another in
nearly every county of Scotland. The name was in most cases derived from Cupar
in Fife, but the occupation of 'cooper' has also contributed to its origin. The
earliest record of the name is territorial, when dominus Salomone de Cupir
appears as a charter witness in 1245 (RPSA., p. 44, 282). The name, also, is
common in early Fife records from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century,
additional evidence of its local origin. An instance pointing to the occupation
as the source of the name occurs in 1329 when payment to "Alanus cuparius" (i.e.
the "cooper' ) is recorded (ER., I, p. 221). John Cupar held land in Aberdeen,
1281 (REA., n, p. 278). Christian Cowper who held lands in Ravenysden near
Berwick in 1275 (Dryburgh) may have been a relative of Symon Coupare of
Berwickshire who rendered homage in 1296 (Bain, n, p. 207). Michael Couper was
tenant in vill de Butyll, 1376 (RHM., n, p. k), and William Coupare had a
tenement in Irvine, 1426 (Irvine, i, p. 130). Thomas de Cupro, canon of the
church of St. Andrews, 1406 (RPSA., p. 10). Patrick Culpar (the I is silent),
witness in Aberdeen, 1468, appears in 1477 as Cowlpar and his wife as Cowlper
(REA., i, p. 300, 212). Finla Couper in Belnakeill, Atholl, was fined for
resetting outlawed Macgregors, 1613 (RFC., x, p. 151), Patrick Cowper in
Tilliemad, 1634 (SCM., m, p. 134), and Helen Copper in Keltie, 1672 (Dunblane).
William Cowper, the poet, writing to Mrs. Courtenay, one of his friends says:
"While Pitcaime whistles for his family estate in Fifeshire, he will do well if
he will sound a few notes for me. I am originally of the same shire, and a
family of my name is still there" (New statistical account, rx, p. 344). Coupar
1479, Couppar 1662, Cowpar 1500, Cowpare 1512, Cuper 1286. "(The surnames of
Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)

BIRTH, DEATH AND MARRIAGE RECORDS FOR THE COOPER FAMILY TREE

to the Cooper Genealogy that will form part of your family tree. Although
records vary from country to country, they are normally the most formal record
of a person's relations. From the sources listed below it will be possible to
locate a birth record and, from that record, a birth certificate may be
obtainable which is likely to list the names of the parents, therefore taking
you back another generation. A marriage certificate may also list the names of
the respective fathers of the bride and groom which may then help you to find
them earlier in life on a census record enabling you to fill out more detail in
