This collection is comprised of the original single volume memoir of David Cooper, and a photocopy of the memoir. Cooper wrote the manuscript during his later years, when his health was failing, so that his children would be able to reference an account of his life after his death. In the memoir, Cooper recounts his early life, his family history, his marriage, the birth of his children, his Quakerism, his struggles with his faith, his work as a representative in 1761, and his attendance at Quaker Meetings.
