Sir John Cooper, Kt., MP

COOPER, John (1552-1610), of Pawlett, Som.

Though there were two other John Coopers—a son of John Cowper of Ditcham and a Serjeant Cooper, one of those asked by the Privy Council in 1588 to prepare bills for the next Parliament3—it is reasonably certain that the Whitchurch MP was John Cooper of Pawlett, nephew of John Kingsmill, chancellor of the bishop of Winchester.
