Mary was born about 1777 in Folke or North Wootton, Dorset, England. These are neighbouring parishes and much of the population lived between the two churches that were often served by the same minister.
She is the daughter of James Cooper and Mary Dodge as shown from her baptism on 20 Oct 1777 at St Mary Magdalene, North Wootton, Dorset, England. [1]
