He was one of the first people I looked up. Not much there to see. You can read my last answer, but I've looked up hundreds of baseball players with no better than 0.5% success.

James Fenimore Cooper was actually the first person I looked for a match because I have a long line of "Fenimore" men not too far back. I hit on the first one I checked, then I'm at 1% success rate since. Luckily (or not), I have nothing better to do, so I keep checking.

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
