Hanging and Lynching[edit]

http://www.thevillager.com/villager_117/squaresuitcities.html

A nice link to the area of both persons.

Luther Harris, author of “Around Washington Square,” the definitive history of the square. [...]
Harris noted — as is stated in the lawsuit — that the fountain is at the
location of the former hanging gallows. He noted that Peter Cooper recalled 
seeing a hanging there as a teenager, and that Mayor Edward Cooper, his son, 
recollected his father having witnessed the lynching at the current site 
of the fountain.

“That makes that spot the most historic spot in the Village,” Harris said.

Home in NYC[edit]

[Corner of Washington Square North and Fifth Avenue, (just across from the Arch)]
No. 12 was from 1879-1905 the home of Edward Cooper, son of Peter Cooper and mayor of NYC (1878-80).

Add this?[edit]

Edward Cooper was Peter Cooper's son. Edward Cooper's business partner and brother-in-law followed New York City mayor Abram S. Hewitt. W.R. Grace's terms as mayor separated Cooper and Hewitt's terms. W.R. Grace's terms were in turn separated by Franklin Edison's term.
