The Great Migration Directory Look up request: Timothy Cooper

Question

Can someone look up Timothy Cooper of Lynn in the Great Migration Directory and provide the sources, and confirm that he would be PGM? This profile lists GMD as a source without more detail.

[I think that some of the info in the profile is from Pope, who may have conflated Timothy father and son].

Thank you!!!

Answer 2

He's not coming up in TGM via American Ancestors but I don't know that GMD is online there.

Here's Torrey with the 1641 marriage citations which may help:

I do have an NEHGS subscription, and I don't think the Directory is included, but I do appreciate the effort.
