Cooper, Thomas (2)
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
or an English Wesleyan minister, was born at Staincross, near Wakefield, in 1760. At an early period in his life, his parents, who were members of the Established Church, were converted under Methodist preaching. In 1779, Thomas, after prolonged and severe struggles, was himself converted, and on the invitation of Wesley attended the Kingswood School for fifteen months. He travelled twenty-three circuits, and in 1821 settled in Liverpool, where he died after long and complicated affliction, October 1, 1832. "He was a man of sound sense, and of more than ordinary ministerial talent; so that his labors. were not only acceptable, but popular and useful." He was a good historian and grammarian, somewhat taci-turn, and occasionally sarcastic. See Wesl. Meth. Mag. 1835, page 181; Minutes of the British Conferences, 1833; Wesleyan Takings, 1:331.
