What was the names of James fenimore cooper's children?
http://www.online-literature.com/cooperj/ : "On 1 January 1811, in Mamaroneck, New York, Cooper married Susan Augusta DeLancey (1792-1852) with whom he would have seven chil…dren: daughters Elizabeth (1811-1813), Susan (1813-1894), Caroline (1815-1892), Anne (1817-1885), and Maria (1819-1898); and sons Fenimore (1821-1823) and Paul (1824-1895)." Full names: Elizabeth Cooper, Susan Augusta Fenimore Cooper, Caroline Martha Cooper (Mrs. Henry Frederick Phinney), Anne Charlotte Cooper, Maria Frances Fenimore Cooper* (Mrs. Richard Cooper: Richard Cooper, JFC's nephew!), Fenimore Cooper, & Paul Fenimore Cooper. * Letters & Journals, vol. VI, p. 246, ftn. 2: The Cooper family Bible reads: "Maria Frances Fenimore Cooper, fourth living daughter of James Fenimore Cooper and Susan Augusta De Lancey, was married to Richard Cooper, son of Richard Fenimore Cooper, on the 10th day of December, Eighteen Hundred and Fifty, at Christ Church, Cooperstown, by the Rev. Stephen H. Battin." The middle name "Fenimore" (his mother's maiden name) was added in 1826. (Cooper had petitioned in vain for a double surname.) Apparently not all of the surviving children (five in number) adopted "Fenimore" as a middle name. Cooper's dates: Sept. 15, 1789 - Sept. 14, 1851; His wife: Mrs. James ["Fenimore" added] Cooper (maiden name: Susan Augusta De Lancey): b. Jan. 28, 1792. "My mother [Mrs. William Cooper, maiden name: Elizabeth Fenimore] had a small property in this county, which she had inherited by a transfer of lands in New Jersey from her father, and which she offered to give me, if I would take her family name in lieu of that of Cooper. My father opposed it. The latter died, leaving me an equal portion of his own estate. My mother survived him several years and repeated the offer from time to time. I would not accept the offer of the eight or ten farms she owned, but promised to make the change so far as to add her name to my father's, and to use both as a family name. My mother died several years before the law was passed, the delay arising from the circumstance that I was implicated in many lawsuits and change might produce confusion. In 1826 I got extricated from the law and was going abroad for health and variety. That was the time to redeem the pledge given to my mother before her death. The application was, as I have said, to add Fenimore to the old family name, keeping both. The legislators, who always know more than their constituents, changed this application by authorizing me to use Fenimore as a middle name, a power I did not ask. As the law authorized me to use Fenimore, and my children were all so young as to render it a matter of indifference to them, I did no more in the way of legislation; though I have always used the name Fenimore as part of my family name, except in discourse. My wife and children do the same, as will probably any descendants I may have hereafter in the male line. Thus the reason I write Fenimore in full, abbreviating James for shortness." -The Letters and Journals of James Fenimore Cooper, vol. V, pp. 200- 201, Letter #893. To Philander Benjamin Prindle, From Hall, Cooperstown, 30 March, 1847. On the derivation of the name Fenimore, Cooper points out: "Fenimore is derived from a manor in Oxfordshire that in the Doomsday Book is called Finnimer and Finnimere. It is now called Finnimore. It is singular that while I was last in England proceedings were going on in Chancery to ascertain the rightful heir to the manor. I make no doubt the rightful male heir is in America, though the family is not uncommon. When the change in the spelling occurred I do not know, but I spell it as it was spelled by my mother before her marriage, and by my grandfather." Ibid., Vol. V, p. 201. In footnote 1 [-The Letters and Journals of James Fenimore Cooper, vol. I, p. 132] the following statement is made: "In fulfilment of a pledge made to his mother to perpetuate her family name, Cooper petitioned that he be authorized to add Fenimore to his father's name, retaining both. The bill was reported on 16 March [1826] as "an act authorizing James Cooper to assume a middle name," referred to a Select Committee consisting of Alpheus Sherman, Henry B. Cowles, and Samuel S. Lush, and approved by the New York State Legislature on 17 March 1826." (MORE)

Who was James I?
He was a Stuart There are two James I's: James I of England: Was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots and her second husband, Lord Darnley. Mary was deposed in 1567 and Darnley …murdered. Mary then fled to England where she was imprisoned and later executed by Elizabeth I. James, who was only 9 months old when Mary was deposed, was raised a protestant, and at the age of 13 was finally crowned King James VI of Scotland at Stirling. Most of his childhood was dominated by nobles competing for control over the boy king. His tutor, George Buchanan, was a strict and forceful master who taught James to hate his mother. James himself grew into a shrewd and canny monarch but also a deeply disturbed one. Famous for having male mistresses and 'relieving himself' without going to the toilet, he has been described at various times and by various people as: "The wisest fool in christendom" "many virtues ... it must be owned, he was possessed of, but no one of them pure, or free from the contagion of the neighbouring vices." "the most effective ruler Scotland ever had " A very mixed bad indeed. The latter is known as he was able to unite many different warring factions during his reign. This would be important as his great-grandfather, James IV, had married Margaret, the daughter of England's Henry VII, and when Elizabeth I died in 1603, James was the nearest surviving relative, and he was duely crowned, once more, but now as James I of England. These two fueding nations would take all of his strength to unite. A firm believer in the Divine Right of Kings, James brooked no disloyalty and considered Parliament in both England and Scotland to be a rubber stamp. This laid the seeds of the Great Rebellion against his son, Charles I. James was able to divert the anger of the manner of his authoritarian rule, but Charles was not so fortunate. After moving to England, James returned to Scotland only once, in 1617 and the latter part of his reign saw him lost touch with Scottish affairs. In 1618 he tried to enforce religious uniformity with England, but produced such opposition that he never carried through the edict. He died in Whitehall Palace on the 27th of March 1625. James I of Scotland: The second son of the weak and ineffective Robert III, his uncle, the Forceful Duke of Albany had had James' older brother David killed in 1402. Fearing for the safety of James, Robert III evacuated him to France, but he was captured instead by the English and held for ransom. Despite being a prisoner, Henry IV of England ensured that James received a full education appropriate to a royal heir, and James, still only 11, took to King Henry as a surrogate father. When Robert III died in 1406, the Scottish Parliament acknowledged James as King and appointed Albany as his governor until James had become old enough. Knowing that Albany would become King himself if James died in captivity, Albany made no attempt whatsoever to gain James' release. While still captive, James met Lady Joan Beaufort, a relative of England's Henry VI and they began courting. In 1423 (Albany now dead) James was finally released and they both travelled north, getting married in early 1424 and being crowned at Scone. James' rule was marked by bitter disputes with the noblemen who had ruled Scotland in his absence and who had siphoned off royal weath to feed their own coffers. Most particularly, he systematically broke the power of the descendants of his father's siblings, including having Albany's son tortured to death. In a bid to maintain law and order he founded the Court of Succession, which antagonised the nobility further as they had always run the judiciary as part of their feudal rights. On 20th February 1437, James was assassinated in Perth by his uncle, the Duke of Atholl (one of the last survivors of his enemies), and buried in a nearby abbey. He was succeeded by his six year old son, James II. (MORE)
