Cooper, William (1754–1809), father of
J.F. Cooper, settled on the shores of Otsego Lake in central New York (1790) and founded the town which bears his name. At one time his land holdings aggregated more than 750,000 acres, and he prospered as a land agent. He adopted a policy of installment payments for his tenants, and kept his land free of the
Anti‐Rent Wars. A staunch Federalist, he was a member of Congress (1795–97, 1799–1801), and often left his magnificent home to show his prowess as a wrestler in some neighboring shanty. He died as the result of a blow struck by a political opponent. His son's
Chronicles of Cooperstown (1838) tells of his settlement, which he himself vigorously describes in
A Guide in the Wilderness (1810).
