This is an assumption daughter of Thomas Cooper. It could be another relationship or performed by Thomas Cooper. This could use some corroboration.

Abigail died 15 January 1685. It appears Stephen Bayley re-married 15 Dec 1688 but spouse not named. Then follows more children born 1689-1695.[3]

It would appear from his will that he did not marry Marie Ramsdale, his niece,

Thomas Cooper’s will mentions wife Margaret, our daughters Abigail, and Marie Ramsdale who is my niece’s daughter. His will Can be found in Southold town records volume one page 445. Inventorie on p. 446 mentions a Jewish.....neither signature nor date of proof are on this will. But the inventory of his estate was done 20 Jan 1659.

Hi, Clearly this is not the daughter of Thomas Cooper of Springfield Massachusetts and wife Sarah, but instead daughter of a Thomas who died in 1658, who doesn't have a wikitree profile. Would you kindly disconnect her. Thank you

Cooper-7049 and Cooper-968 appear to represent the same person because: Abigail died 1685, see bio notes
