Jonathan Cooper is the second child and first son of Jonathan and Elizabeth. His older sister being Frances. See her story under John aka Richard Smith and Frances Green.

Came free on the Glatton having been born in 1800 and baptised in Surrey on 20th April 1800. He was 3 years old when he arrived in Sydney Cove, what a shock it must have been for him after that 169 day voyage . Elizabeth did well to keep her children alive on that voyage. We know nothing more of his life except his death on 24th May 1823. He was buried on 26th May at St Phillip’s Church Sydney. No newspapers for 1823 are online so this is where we have to leave Jonathan's story.

The background here shows Sydney had developed in the 20 years Jonathan had lived there.
