Biography

Lydia married Gregory Stone, as his second wife, between 1626 and 1628 in England. Their marriage record has not been found and the precise date and location are not known.
Geoffrey Fiske and Mary Cooke of Saint James South Elmham had a daughter Lydia of an appropriate age,[1] and the Fiske and Stone families intermarried elsewhere, but as yet no clear proof connects their Lydia with the wife of Gregory Stone.
Lydia and Gregory had three children, baptized at Nayland between 1628/29 and 1632/33.
Elizabeth,
Samuel,
Sarah,
They and their family migrated to New England about 1635, settling first in Watertown and later in Cambridge.
Two additional children are named as Lydia's own in the membership list of the Cambridge church in 1658/59: John Cooper and Lydia Fiske "now deceased". These are presumed to be Lydia's children from a prior marriage (record of which has not been found) to a Cooper (whose given name is not known, though some claim he may have been Simon Cooper of Dedham).
Lydia, their children, and her then-living Cooper descendants (son John and granddaughter Lydia Fiske) are named in Gregory's 1672 will. She died in Cambridge 24 Jun 1674.

comment. Anne BDisconnected from parents, Changed LNAB to Unknown. Getting her attached to the right Cooper husband with the right Cooper children is a convoluted mess. I'll work on it. 5 Dec 2017
Update - she has the right husbands and children
posted Dec 05, 2017 by Anne B Dave JenkinsIf the widow Cooper (husband's first name unknown), second wife of Gregory Stone, mother of Lydia and Deacon John Cooper-260, and Lydia's birth name is unknown, then Fiske-70 should be decoupled (and renamed) from Fiske-51, Cooke-10, and Cooper-692 and coupled w/ Lydia Cooper-3566 as mother.... it seems. That profile (Cooper-3566) has Lydia "Unk.-362" as mother and John Cooper-3567 as father.
If correct, the new Fiske-70 (whatever it's called) and Unk.-362 should be merged. Is that possible? Thank you. D. Jenkins

Objections to changing?posted Nov 16, 2017 by Anne B Kay (Johnson) WilsonAccording to Anderson’s Great Migration the wife of Gregory Stone was Lydia, but we don’t know her maiden name. She had previously been married to ____ Cooper, and had two children by ____ Cooper, John and Lydia. Apparently her daughter Lydia Cooper married someone named ‘Fisk’. What is the source of the information that her parents were Jeffrey Fiske and Mary Cool?posted Apr 08, 2014 by Kay (Johnson) Wilson Kay (Johnson) WilsonCooper-2866 and UNKNOWN-86001 appear to represent the same person because: According to Anderson's Great Migration we don't know the surname for Lydia, the second wife of Gregory Stone. Cooper was her surname because she was a widow. Please agree to merge these two profiles for Gregory Stone's wife. Thanks!posted Apr 08, 2014 by Kay (Johnson) Wilson
