SARAH2 LORD (Nathan1) was born say 1671, probably at Kittery, and died
probably at Berwick, after 25 March 1736, when she sold property with her husband,
314 and before 18 April 1758, when she was not mentioned in the administration
of his estate.315 She married at Kittery on 13 December 1691 JOHN COOPER.316 He
was born about 1667, as his father Alexander’s will calls him “about sixteen years
of age” on 9 February 1683.317 John died in Berwick on 18 April 1758.318
Two days before his death, Alexander Cooper of Berwick left unto his “onely
sonn John Cooper, as the true & proper heyre,” his entire estate, without mention of
a wife or other children.319 On 10 August 1697, John Cooper of Berwick was
granted administration of the estate of John Drisco of Wells,320 perhaps a relative of
his unknown mother. John was a juror, grand juror, and constable, appraised numerous
estates, and appeared frequently in York County deeds.321 He died intestate,
the estate to be administered by his son-in-law “Noah Emery of Kittery, Gentleman,
& Sarah, his wife, & John Emery, Jr., their son.”322
