(prepared by John W Loder)[Note 1]
The first Cooper to live in the Random Island area[Note 2] was Edward Cooper (born in 1781, sometimes referred to as “Edward I”) who moved to the community of Ireland’s Eye after marrying Ann (Nancy) Emmery in 1812[1]. We will consider them to be the “First Generation” of the Cooper Family of Random Island.
Edward I and Ann had at least 8 children (the “Second Generation”), several of whom stayed and raised large families of their own in IE or elsewhere on RI. In turn, many of Edward I and Ann’s grandchildren (the “Third Generation”) stayed and raised families in the area. Consequently, Edward I and Ann have a large number of descendants in the RI area.

Notes
- ↑ John W Loder (JWL) is a great-great grandson of Rachel Cooper and Silas Loader Cooper of Ireland’s Eye. He has carried out extensive research on the Loder and his other ancestral families, including communications with his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cousins descended from Rachel and Silas. He can be contacted at JohnWLoder@gmail.com
- ↑ The term “greater Random Island” here refers to Random Island with Ireland's Eye and nearby small islands included, while the term “Random Island area” refers to greater RI and communities on the mainland sides of Smith and Random Sounds such as British Harbour. This is in contrast to some works (e.g., the books by W.B.W. Martin, see References 9&10) which do not include IE as a part of RI.
