Samuel Cooper

A Patriot of the American Revolution for MASSACHUSETTS with the rank of LIEUTENANT. DAR Ancestor # A025802

Major Samuel Cooper was born in Boston Massachusetts on June 13, 1757 and died August 19, 1840 in Alexandra, Virginia, at the age of 83.

The Revolutionary War record of this distinguished patriot was quite remarkable. He fought at battle of Lexington-Concord, which became known as the very first battle of the American Revolution and was won at least partly due to the advanced warning by Paul Revere on his Midnight Ride. He also fought at Bunker Hill, Trenton, Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth and other battlefields.
