	Peter Cooper
		Peter was born in New York City to Methodists Margaret Campbell and John Cooper.
		Peter later recalled that his "father's religion was of that kind that he feared everybody would go tumbling into hell." Although he abandoned his father's doctrine, he never strayed from the work ethic his father instilled in him from an early age.
		Among other tasks, Peter had to "boil the hair out of the rabbit skins to be used in the manufacture of hats." This experience may well have inspired his later invention of gelatin, made by boiling animal skin and connective tissue.
