Biographical Summary

Agnes Cooper was born in 1585 in Henlow, Bedford, England, the daughter of Edmund and Mary (Wyne) Cooper.  She married Edward Tilley on 20 June 1614 in Henlow.  Agnes' sister Martha married James Samson, and they were the parents of Mayflower passenger Henry Samson.  Agnes' brother Robert was  the father of Mayflower passenger Humility Cooper.

Agnes Cooper's ancestry has been successfully traced back as far as Wido de Reinbudcourt, the Domesday Lord of Chipping Warden and Burton, Northampton, England, who lived during the 10th century; but no royal lineages have yet been noted for any of her lines.
