The given name FLEET figures strongly in my COOPER family. I am desparate to find if there is a connection between the FLEET & COOPER Families.

I am aware of a Virginia record which links the "widow FLEET" and a Jno. COOPER and his wife as grantors in a 1675 Gloucester County deed. This record strongly suggests a family relationship of some kind between FLEET and COOPER surnames. This conclusion is further buttressed by several other extant York County, VA, records revealing connections between a widow, Anne FLEETE, and John COOPER, "attorney of Anne." These documents were recorded between 1665 and 1672.
