Notes

While Anthony was christened Ashley-Cooper, his siblings and their descendants remained Coopers.

He drew up a will on January 17, 1683.

On January 20, in a conversation with Robert Ferguson, who had accompanied him to Amsterdam, he professed himself a closet Arian with decided Unitarian leanings.
