COOPER, ANANIAS. The doctors Cooper were all descendants of John Cooper, of Olney, Buckinghamshire, England, who came to America in the ship Hopewell, in 1635, and settled at Lynn, Mass. We first find Dr. Ananias at Bridge Hampton, L. I., in 1755. In 1757 he lived in the Cooper house, on the west side of the Post Road, one mile above Rhinebeck. In 1759 he charged the county ten shil- lings for doctoring a soldier, the first charge made by a doctor against the county for professional work done. This soldier must have been in the French and Indian War. He was a member of Assembly, 1779- 80. He died April 4th, 1797. He had a son, Dr. Charles De Kay Cooper, of Albany.

COOPER, JEREMIAH. Fishkill, 1759. A brother of Ananias Cooper, and probably the father of Dr. John Cooper.
COOPER, JOHN. Born Fishkill, June 6th, 1786. Student of Dr. Bartow White; graduated P. and S., about 1808. He practiced in Poughkeepsie until the war of 1812, when he entered the service as surgeon, and was stationed at Fort Dearborn until the close of the war, when he returned to Poughkeepsie and remained in active prac- tice until his death, which was in 1863. He was a man of strong character, high principles, and of positive convictions. A contem- porary of Dr. John Barnes ; they were rivals in business. Dr. Barnes, giving undivided attention to his work, had the advantage. Dr. Cooper had a strain of sporting blood, which led him to keep a stable of thoroughbred horses, which he ran on the old Dutchess track, at East Poughkeepsie, with considerable success in winnings, though they proved an expensive amusement.
COOPER, JOHN REED. Born Poughkeepsie, January 25th, 1828; son of Dr. John Cooper. He studied medicine with his father, and attended lectures at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in the years 1848-50. He practiced one year at Wappingers Falls with Dr. Van Duser, when he moved to Poughkeepsie and continued there until his death. In 1861 Dr. Cooper was appointed Surgeon of the Fifth New York Cavalry; he served fourteen months, when he resigned. During their last illness, Drs. Hughson, the elder Cooper, and Varick threw their influence in Dr. Cooper's favor; this, with his positive manner and strong character, gave him a commanding position in the profession, and for years he did a large proportion of the surgery in the county. In his practice he trusted to his practical experience, and had no use for theories, and but little for books. He died April 8th, 1887, and is buried at Greenwood.

"The house, instruments, &c., of the late Dr. Charles Crook, to be sold at auction, the house in Poughkeepsie near the English Church;" November 4th, 1788. It is regrettable that no further in- formation can be had of this representative of one of the oldest and most respectable of the county families. Their burial plot, on the west side of the Post Road, midway between Teller's Hill and the village of Hyde Park, is a scene of desecration and desolation.

He served seven years in the army, and in 1776 was a delegate to the third Provincial Congress in New York City. He was a forceful, en- terprising man, a leader among his fellows, taking an active part in all the affairs of life, a successful business man, as well as a prominent physician.

ESSELSTYNE, RICHARD. Society, 1820. In the cemetery of Stone Church, just north of Rhinebeck, there is a well-kept lot and a stone with this inscription: "Friends of the late Dr. Richard Esselstyne, feeling that some insignia commemorative of his worth and services is justly due to him, have placed this stone and epitaph over his grave. Born in 1795, he died February 12th, 1868, in his 73d year. Of him it may be truly said, he was a Christian and philanthropist, and pro- fessionally self-sacrificing in the extreme; for neither inclemency of weather nor calls at unseasonable hours, or even the certainty of ser- vices illy repaid, ever deterred him from performing his duty to his fellow-man; and thus he left to the world, at least, this proof of his love for his Creator."
