John Cooper moved into York Co. on land purchased from Elisha Perkins
on Jan. 19, 1721. (Maryland grant from Lord Baltimore to Elisha
Perkins Dec. 19, 1719). This 50 acres is about 3 miles above the MD/PA 
line on the banks of the Susquehanna. The graveyard still exists
today, and has a stone wall surrounding it. (condition isn't the best,
but the family members, still, to their credit, keep it up as best
they can). It is no longer in family hands, but the new owners let
family members come in to keep it up as far as I know.
