| 752 | Early 20th century DAR records state that Hannah is the daughter of Benjamin Duvall, a Revolutionary War Soldier. However, there is clear evidence that this is not the case. Hannah Duvall married Edward Willett Benton in 1806 in Montogm., Maryland records. Private Benjamin did not live there. Plus she is clearly listed as the heir of Lewis Duvall of Montgomery Co., Maryland (the county where she married) according to his estate settlement in 1817 where his children received equal shares of his estate. This is verified in the c1952 book entitled "Mareen Duvall of Middle Plantation" by Harry Wright Newman. | DUVALL, Hannah * (I13599)

| 755 | Ebenezer is listed as the son of Joseph and Elizabeth in a different location than 3 other of Joseph and Elizabeth's children are mentioned. That means their might be to sets of Joseph and Elizabeth Large's or more likely that they had me children in varying Quaker communities. This Ebenezer got a certificate of removal from Falls MM, Bucks Co., PA to go to Philadelphia MM, PA on Jun 6, 1707. He received a certificate from Philadelphia MM on 3/26/1727 to go to Burlington MM in NJ to marry. Hinshaw did not list his spouse in that certificate, and I am assuming that her name was Dorothy since Dorothy, a 77 year old widow of Ebenezer dies in Burlington MM area in 1757, placing her at a similar age to this Ebenezer Large.

| 756 | Ebenezer's estate was rather large at the time of his death. His inventory papers were administered by his wife Elizabeth and fill a large legal size page. (F-106) He seemed to have owned many parcels of a few acres each, sheep, oxen, cs many household goods with the value of the day at 269:0:0. (F-106) | CLARK, Benjamin Ebenezer (I15517)
|
| 757 | Ebenzer was bonded to brother Abraham Doud in the Probate records of Guilford, New Haven District, Ct in 1713. He would have been very young at the time. His father had died in 1712. (F-504) As an adult, Ebenezer was a large lanr in what is now Hammonsett, CT. His land lay in the hands of his descendants longer than any other land in the area. He and his wife only had three children, 2 sons and a daugther. (F-496) | DOUD, Ebenezer (I12075)

| 760 | Edgar became King of England in 959 at around age 16. His reign ended the year of his death, 975 A.D. There is a slight error in Edgar's birth date in Harry's book. It was actually 943 and he is the son of Edmund, the Magnificent. (Cd-10 | Edgar Edgar The Peaceful King Of England (I12709)

| 761 | Edgar was chosen to be King of England by Witan on Harold's death. He held the title from Oct to December of 1066, but was never officially crowned King. In 1068, Edgar and mother, Agatha, were traveling by ship to seek safety in Hungam political turmoil at home. The ship hit bad weather and crashed into the "Firth of Forth" assumingly killing the Englishman on board. (C-1207) | Edgar (I13698)
|
| 762 | Edith attended the wedding of Jacob Garwood and Elloner Oustlon (her father's former servant) in 1720 in Burlington, New Jersey along with her sister Hannah, and parents. She is listed in the closest relatives column and would have beeg to attend this wedding - only 15 at the time. I have no idea why she and her sister signed in the closest relatives column when their parents did not. | COATE, Edith (I16540)
|
| 763 | Edith didn't marry. She is living with her parents in the 1930 census in Abington Twp., Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania That is the same township where her brother Norman was living at the time. | FORTE, Mary Edith (I77)
|
| 764 | Edith's maiden name is listed as a Fell, Satterwaite or Maxwelton in 2nd hand sources. After exhaustive years of research, I have reached a different conclusion. I theorize that she is Edith Gilling who is the only listed marriage recorn Edith to a Marmaduke Coate of Hambridge in the Parish of Curry Rivel, Somerset, England. The supporting evidence for this theory is: 1) Hambrige was a very small burg in the same Parish where Marmaduke was born in 1634. 2) It has been my experience that the clerks in the courts knew everyone in these small towns. They would describe the person they were referring to in such a way as to distingish them from anyone else of the same name. (Ex. Little John, Big John, Georgia John, John of Edgefield, etc.) In this case, the only adult male of that name who lived in Hambridge called Marmaduke is listed as Marmaduke of Hambridge in multiple court records from Marmaduke's marriage to his death. A transcription of their marriage record follows: "Groom Marmaduke COATE status - of Hambridge, - Bride Edith GILLING status - of the parish, - married on 13 SEP 1658 at parish Mark: " (Source: www.familyhistoryonline.com, from email by gccoles@aol.com). 3) Their marriage record of 1658 has likely thrown other researchers off because his Quaker obituary says he was born in 1652. It was submitted after his death at an elderly age. These obituraries notoriously had poor birthdates and "facts" in them. His parents were not of the Quaker faith nor were Quaker records kept in this region until 1667. He was not of the Quaker faith until after his marriage. I suggest that Marmaduke Jr's birthdate was simply not known by his Quaker community. 4) None of the other surnames surmised to be Edith's, have any supporting evidence. In other words, no record has been found that lists a person named Edith of these other surnames in the Parish of Curry Rivel or nearby regions. Ex. Though Satterwaite is often listed, this is a surname from northern England at the time, nearly 500 miles away. Therefore, with an understanding of every record in the Parish of Curry Rivel, I suggest that the only likely conclusion is that Edith was Edith Gilling and that her son Marmaduke was born after 1658. (C-253c) Edith is listed in Quaker records in Somerset after her marriage. On Nov. 15, 1683 fifteen persons were taken to prison from their meeting at Ilminster, Edith being among them. On Aug. 17, 1689 she and her son Marmaduke were again taken prisoner a couple years after her husband and his father, Marmaduke's death. According to Don Johnson's research, when Marmaduke died, Edith asked his brother's John's wife, Elizabeth to move in with her. Elizabeth had stayed behind in England when her husband moved to Pennsylvania due to poor health. She supposedly took up Edith's offer and both women lived in Marmaduke's homestead till the end of their days barring when Edith was in prison. (C-995) | GILLING, Edith (I16288)

| 765 | Edmund came to the colonies in 1635 and ended up in Hampton, Norfolk County, Massachusetts Colony. That part of Massachusetts became New Hampshire in 1680. What was to become New Hampshire's first residents were fisherman along the coast and resided there part-time starting in 1623. All of New Hampshire was part of Massachusetts until 1680. Hampton, where he lived, was one of 4 coastal towns in New Hampshire in those days. He would have likely entered the colonies through Massachusetts. According to "New England, the Great Migration" and "North America, Family Histories", he and his wife came on "The James" which embarked from London, England. He was age 23. He was a carpenter by trade. His first residence was Newbury, Essex, Mass. They moved to Hampton, Mass. in 1639. He had acquired 110+ acres in Hampton, Mass. by the time he died in 1650. That land became New Hampshire in 1680. The closest birth I've found to his age given when they came to the colonies in for an Edmond who was baptized in Middlesex, England somewhat close to where he and his wife departed from. That is my current theory as to his parentage. His age of 23 could easily have been misinterpreted if he was listed at age 25 in poor handwriting. | THROCKMORTON JOHNSON, Edmund * Carpenter by trade (I11496)

| 769 | Edward C. Dudick was in the service in World War II. He was transferred from Texas to Boca Raton, Florida according to the Bradford Era during the week of June 24, 1946. In the May 6, 1947 news, he was listing as having achieved Corporae was stationed in the Memphis, Tennessee Airport. After serving three years, he was discharged in 1949. However, he was recalled to active duty and left to go to Erie where he joined up with reservists bound for Langley Field, VA as a Corporal on Aug. 29, 1951.

| 773 | Edward Dorsey was a Field Marshal of Maryland; Judge of the High Court of Chancery; Keeper of the seal; and Member of the House of Burgesses in 1697. An internet site on "The History of Long Reach" gives the following information on him at http://columbiamaryland.com/morelong.htm. "On August 20, 1664, Lord Baltimore granted the Dorsey brothers (John, Joshua, and Edward) a 400-acre plantation on the Cabin Neck Branch west of the Severn River in Anne Arundel County. On November 10, 1695, Edward patented a 448-acre plantation on the county's frontier, which later became part of Howard County, and today is Long Reach, the name of the original land grant. It is likely that some of the impetus Edward felt for settling on his own land came from the size of his family -- he sired 13 children in two marriages. Edward was a prominent military and civic leader. He rose to colonel in the local militia, served as justice and commissioner of Anne Arundel County, and was a delegate to the Maryland Assembly from 1696 to 1704. The Assembly met at his townhouse in Annapolis until the Court House was completed. He was a supporter of religious freedom and helped to fund free schools. At his death in 1704 or 1705, Edward Dorsey divided Long Reach among three of his sons -- Nicholas, Benjamin, and John. Dorsey descendants have been Howard Countians ever since, but the Long Reach lands passed from the Dorseys to other families." Margaret was Edward's second wife. Edward and his brothers Joshua and John lived in Middle Neck Hundred, Anne Arundel Co., MD aft 1660. This was 9 miles west of what became Annapolis, Maryland. They lived near the Hammonds and Howards. In his will Edward Dorsey gave the following items to his family members: Son Levin at age 21, 100 A., "Hockley" on main falls of Patapsco R., and personalty including boy named William Jackson; Sons Charles, Levin, Francis and Edward, all land on the north side of Patapsco R., all "Taylor's Forrest" if it was purchased by the time of his death; to daughter, Ann, personalty; To son Joshua, 100 A., "Barnes Folly"; To son Samuell, part of "Major's Choyce" and also that which he has received by deed of gift; to son Nicholas, 100 A., part of "Long Reach" at Elk Ridge and personalty at 16 years of age; To son Benjamin, 100 A. part of "Long Reach" and personalty at 16 years of age; To son John, 148 A., residue of "Long Reach" at 16 years of age; To daughter Sarah Petticoate and 3 child. of dau.

| 774 | Edward III was crowned King of England on Sep. 21, 1327, the same year he invaded Scotland. His mother Isabella and her lover, Roger de Mortimer deposed his father, Edward II, from the crown. In 1330, he executed Mortimer who had murderedather, imprisoned his mother and began his own personal reign. He won victory in Scotland at noted battles like Haildon Hill (1333) and planed for the union of Scotland and England. Through his mother, he claimed the French throne in 1337 which led to the Hundred years war with France. He with his 16 year old son Edward, the Black Prince, won the battle of Crecy in 1346. It was of the first battle of the Hundred Years' War. For much of his life he expanded his holdings to a greatly enlarged Gascony. However, he ended his part in the struggle in 1375 with most of his French possessions lost. He ended his reign with parliament siding with his son Edward. (WLD. BK, v.6, p.110, c1988, and C-330, 574, 785) The following is from: http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/people/famousfirst913.html."King Edward III1312 - 1377English king. Edward III was born at Windsor, the eldest son of Edward II and Isabella of France. Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, one of several disaffected Barons, had imprisoned and then killed the unpopular Edward II. They held power until the young Edward reached majority. Rather more effective than his father, Edward arrested his mother and Mortimer as soon as he took power, hanging the latter. He married Philippa of Holland in 1328.Edward was crowned in 1327, and the uneasy truce with Scotland was quickly ended, with the Scottish army invading. Although a further truce was concluded, when Robert the Bruce died in 1329, Edward involved himself in the politics of the succession. Edward supported Edward Balliol (c.1283 - 1364), who was a malleable if incompetent individual, and invaded laying siege to Berwick-upon-Tweed and heavily defeating the Scots at Hallidon Hill (1333). Edward was forced to support Balliol's precarious rule on two further occasions (1335, when he marched to Perth and 1336, when he burned Aberdeen), before tiring of what he saw as an unprofitable campaign and turning his attentions to France. He appointed himself King of France (his mother had been daughter of the French king) and invaded. He continued a series of popular campaigns in France for the remainder of his life.The young David II (1324 - 1371) had taken the opportunity to invade, but the Scottish army was defeated at Neville's Cross (1346) and David taken prisoner. It took 13 years and 100,000 marks for Edward to release him.Edward died at Richmond. He left England stronger, richer and more respected than it had been even in the times of his grand-father, Edward I (1239 - 1307)." His will is as follows: "We, Edward, by the grace of God, who hold the sceptres of the Kingdoms of England and France, according to the custom of our ancestors, Kings of England, we appoint our royal burial to be in the Church of St. Peter of Westminster. We bequeath, and to (found) masses for our soul, and the soul of Philippa, our dear consort, late Queen of England. We give to our future heir Richard, son of Edward Prince of Wales, our eldest son, an entire bed, marked with the arms of France and England, now in our palace at Westminster. To Johanna, late wife of the aforesaid Edward, our eldest son, one thousand marks. To our dear daughter Isabel, Countess of Bedford, for her support, and that of her daughter, three hundred marks per annum, arising from the lands of the son and heir of the Earl of Oxford, lately deceased, which Thomas Tirell, Knt. holds from us, so long as the said heir shall be under age. We appoint executors of this our will, our son John, King of Castile and Leon and Duke of Lancaster; John Bishop of Lincoln; Henry Bishop of Worcester; John Bishop of Hereford; and our dear and faithful knights William Lord Latimer; John Knyvet, Chancellor; Robert de Ashton, Treasurer; Roger de Beauchamp, Chamberlain; John de Ipres, Steward; and Nicholas de Carew, Keeper of the Privy Seal.

| 775 | Edward inherited the proceeds of the sale of Shakespeare's home via his granddaughter whom then owned his estate. Edward is the executor and "loveing kinsman" in Shakespeare's granddaughter's will. An archivist historian, John Taplin,e SBT has extensively studied Edward's "kinship" to Dame Elizabeth Hall Bernard, Shakespeare's granddaughter and found it to be a very complicated path. Elizabeth Hall who was married to Sir John Bernard. Under the terms of Elizabeth Bernard's 1669 will, "once they were both dead, her property in Stratford was to be offered for purchase to Edward Nash, a nephew of her first husband, Thomas Nash. But if declined the offer to buy, her trustees were to sell the property for the best they could obtain and then pay certain legacies to various relations before the residue went to Edward Bagley, citizen and pewterer of London (her executor and loveing kinsman)". In the sale of properties, Edward Bagley is listed as a citizen and pewterer of London. (There was another Edward Bagley of the time who can be distinguished as a laborer of Lower Gounal instead and has been mixed up with this Edward when he received a cow and servant from his Uncle Dudley Bagley in a 1685 will.) (C-1364, EL-from John Taplin) Our Edward is in the following apprenticeship records after his father had died. "12 September 1656: Robert Orme presented Edward Bagley son of Edward, deceased, of Dudly (sic) in Staffordshire, gentleman, for 8 years from All Saints Day.., and ...6 October 1664: Edward Bagley, apprentice to Robert Orme sworne and made free 6s 8d." He was about 15 years old when he was apprenticed. John Taplin has found many avenues by which Dame Bernard would have known Edward Bagley though the kinship is quite distant. I will quote him here from his scholarly site at http://www.blackcountrysociety.co.uk/articles/bagley.htm. "John Bernard's aunt had been married to a brother of Theodosia Harrington, wife of Edward Sutton, whose long time mistress, Elizabeth Tomlinson, was so closely connected to the Bagleys, may in itself have been sufficient for Elizabeth Bernard in her will to describe Edward Bagley, her executor, as a 'loveing kinsman', despite the fact that the kinship may have been the wrong side of the blanket. It should be noted that although Edward Sutton had sired his children with Elizabeth Tomlinson outside of wedlock, they were not hidden away and most married into landed gentry families. Also, John Bagley's children had been the legatees of Elizabeth Tomlinson's will (133), such as it was, and Elizabeth Bernard could hardly have been unaware of Bagley's own children and grandchildren, including his grandson, Edward Bagley the pewterer. John Bernard's own cousin, Margery Doyley was married to Theodosia's nephew, Sir Edward Harrington, 2nd Baronet Ridlington, and so the Bernard-Harrington-Sutton connection extended to Elizabeth Nash on her marriage to John Bernard, if it had not already been established through the existing links between the Bernard and Shakespeare families. 133. In her nuncupative will, Elizabeth Tomlinson left various amounts from ? 30 to 20 shillings to John Bagley's children. See Grazebrook History of Staffordshire, Vol. X Part II.The association of the Halls to the Dive and Harrington families in the 16th Century seems sufficiently strong to permit this also to provide an avenue through Elizabeth Bernard's father to the Lord Dudley, especially if the Lincolnshire Halls hypothesis is accepted. The significance of John Hall's medical treatment of Sarah Harrington is open to speculation, but it has to be weighed against the various other associations raised to be dismissed as mere coincidence. Again the choice of New Place as a stopover in Stratford by Henrietta Maria, probably with Sarah among her retinue, raises the question of whether this was not influenced by its being the home of her kinswomen Susanna Hall and Elizabeth Nash. The mention of Thomas Dighton in Sir John Harrington's will, whilst almost insignificant in some ways, provides continuity in terms of the Job Dighton's later association to Lady Bernard. Again, the possibility that Edward Bagley was married to a niece of her other trustee could provide another avenue, perhaps the strongest, through which what was almost certainly an established relationship, could have matured. The connections examined, both empiric and hypothetic, between the various families makes a substantial case for one, or more likely more, of them being avenues through which Elizabeth Bernard would have known Edward Bagley. It is tempting to see her, some 33 years his senior, and Edward in a relationship similar to wardship, though this must remain purely speculative. The Ashenhurst and Ward association to the Bagleys continued to be reflected in the naming of subsequent generations descending from John Bagley and Mary Ashenhurst. Their son is named Dudley Ashenhurst Bagley, his three sons are named Jevon Ashenhurst Bagley, Humble Bagley and Ferdinando Ward Bagley; Ferdinando being the name of the last of the male Sutton line, whose premature death (134) had led to the Dudley title passing, through his daughter Frances, to Humble Ward." A last note comes from the fact that John Taplin can follow this Edward Bagley through his signature on several legal documents throughout time. Edward Bagley had obviously hit hard times by 1703 when he is last mentioned in the Pewterer's Company records as receiving 30 shillings for relief in that year. I highly recommend reading John Taplin's work in its entirety at http://www.blackcountrysociety.co.uk/articles/bagley.htm if one is interested in this familial connection. | BAGLEY, Edward (I5820)

| 776 | Edward Kent's obituary tells of his many years of wonderful service as the Porter Band's leader for Rio Grande College. To quote the paper, he spent almost fifty-five years "continuosly spreading joy, scattering sunshine and filling thd with music." I'd say he was a well loved teacher and human being. | KENT, Edward W. (I12390)

| 777 | Edward left home from Mar. 1, 1850 till Apr. 1853 when he was not fully grown, to hunt for gold during the Califonia Gold Rush. He traveled there via Central America. When returning to Sangamon Co., IL, he spent a couple years buying anding stock. He worked as a merchant for a year in Sandova, Marion Co., IL and then again returned, this time to farming. Farming became his life-long pursuit. He located in Woodside Twp. in 1870 with 80 acres of land. His home is described as "perfection of neatness ..in all the surroundings and the coziness of the dwelling... a cottage of modern design which, set in the midst of beautiful grounds and surrounded by fruitful fields and orchard is a jewel of pearl in emerald quite in keeping with the other features of the landscape."

|
| 778 | Edward of Caernarvon was the first English Prince of Wales in 1301. He succeeded his father to the throne in 1307. He was not competent as a ruler, losing Scotland to it's own independence in 1314. Parliament forced him to give up thee in 1327. Edward II was murdered in Berkeley Castle where he was being held prisoner soon after. His murder is dramatically portrayed in Marlowe's play, Edward II. (Wld. Bk., c1988, v. 6, p. 110.) His biography that follows is from http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/page65.asp."EDWARD II (r. 1307-1327) Edward II had few of the qualities that made a successful medieval king. Edward surrounded himself with favorites (the best known being a Gascon, Piers Gaveston), and the barons, feeling excluded from power, rebelled. Throughout his reign, different baronial groups struggled to gain power and control the King. The nobles' ordinances of 1311, which attempted to limit royal control of finance and appointments, were counteracted by Edward. Large debts (many inherited) and the Scots' victory at Bannockburn by Robert the Bruce in 1314 made Edward more unpopular. Edward's victory in a civil war (1321-2) and such measures as the 1326 ordinance (a protectionist measure which set up compulsory markets or staples in 14 English, Welsh and Irish towns for the wool trade) did not lead to any compromise between the King and the nobles. Finally, in 1326, Edward's wife, Isabella of France, led an invasion against her husband. In 1327 Edward was made to renounce the throne in favor of his son Edward (the first time that an anointed king of England had been dethroned since Ethelred in 1013). Edward II was later murdered at Berkeley Castle." | KING OF ENGLAND, Edward II (I12307)

| 779 | Edward owned a plantation in Maryland, the same state where he was born. In the 1820 FREDERICK CO MD, the following members were sorted in his family: "1m 26-45; 1f -5; 1f 16-26". He did not agree with Maryland's slave laws and the, moved to Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania, and then to Knox and Belmont County, Ohio. According to the "History and Biography, 20th Century History of Delaware Co., Ohio", Edward Willett Benton moved to Knox Co., OH after 1824 and then to Delaware Co., OH in 1829. This isn't quite right, as Edward is in the 1830 census for Belmont Co. Ohio with the following family members: "1 male age 5-10; 1 male age 10-15; 1 male, age 40-50 and 1 female, age 30-40. He is in the 1850 Census record in Scioto Twp., Delaware Co., Ohio, page 273: "BENTON, Edward W age 66 b. MD farmer, Matilda age 46 b.

|
| 782 | Edward was a "Mercer" by trade, which in context of a court case about unpaid debts after his decease, sounds like he was a merchant. His wife filed the complaint, because he had paid his debts to a trusted friend and haberdasher withoutg a receipt. This "friend", Wetwood, after his decease said he hadn't paid.

| 783 | Edward was a member of the Royal House of Anjou or Plantagenet. He succeeded his father in 1272. He went to war against the Welsh in 1277 and subdued them by 1283 bringing Wales under English rule. He devoted the rest of his reign to conquering Scotland. Although he temporarily succeeded, he died while on his way to subdue their new king. He gave the world many new models. He established a parliament that had representatives from the nobility, church and common folk. He restricted the rights of the king to tax and make law without the consent of Parliament. He tryed to tear down the Feudal system giving direction to the modern world. (Wld. Bk, c1988, v.6, p.110) He had 16 children by his first wife and 3 by his second. His will is as follows: "In the name, We, Edward, eldest son of the noble King of England, make our Will the Saturday next after Pentecost, in the year of our Lord 1272. First, we bequeath our soul to God, to our Lady, and to all the Saints; and our body to be buried where our executors, that is to say, Sir John de Bretagne, Sir William de Valence, Sir Roger de Clifford, Sir Payse de Chautros, Sir Robert de Tiletot, Sir Otes de Graundison, Robert Burnett, and Anthony Bek, shall appoint; who are also to hold the profits of all our lands in England, Ireland, and Gascony, until our children become of age. And if it should so happen (which God forbid!) that our Lord the King, our father, die whilst our children be under age, we will that the realm of England, and all other lands which should descend to our children, remain in the hands of our executors before named, and also in those of our dear father the Archbishop of York, and Sir Rog. and other great men of the kingdom, until they become of full age. And for the dowry of our dear wife Eleanor. In testimony of which we have placed our seal to this Will, having requested John Archbishop of Sur, and Vicar of the Holy Church of Jerusalem, and the honorable fathers, Frere Hugh Revel, Master of the Hospital, and Frere Thomas Brerard, Master of the Temple, likewise to place their seals in witness hereof. Dated at Acre, the Saturday before named, the 18th June, in the year of the reign of the King our Father the 55th." If you descend from Edward I, you are a cousin to the following: A.

| 785 | Edward was the 5th Lord Dudley. He apparently fathered children at an early age, as he was grandfathered by the time he was 35 years old. He had 11 children by his mistress, Elizabeth Tomlinson. Mistresses were common in those days, asges were arranged to maintain a family's power. He actually had his first child by her the year before he was married to Theodosia and had his first legitimate son. Theodosia moved to London by the year 1690 according to first hand research done by Lynn van Rooijin McCullough. There is a record that states that Elizabeth went to live with Sutton and it would appear likely that she helped raise his children, her children and his grandson Ward. Elizabeth Tomlinson also remembers Lord Dudley's children by Theodosia in her will. | SUTTON, Edward Lord Dudley (I12746)

| 786 | Edwin, one of John Brown's men at Harper's Ferry, was captured along with Brown in the engine house. His trial immediately followed Browns. He was sentenced on Nov. 2. and hung on Dec. 2 along with rebel, John Cook. His father died wheas just six. Starting in the spring after his father's death, he spent the next eight or nine years of his childhood under the care of neighbor and farmer, John Butler, in Salem, Ohio. He moved with his mother to Springdale, Iowa in 1850. (C-376, 1508) Edwin was one of the few raiders that were trapped fighting against an army of over 1000 soldiers directed under Col. Lee. The following account is from the "History of Iowa from the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the 20th Century", by Benjamin G. Gue. "Col. Robert E. Lee, who was now in command of their assailants, sent a message to Brown demanding his surrender. "No!" said Brown, "we prefer to die here." Firing began again on both sides, while Lee formed a column for assault. Few know how near the coming Southern Confederacy came to losing its greatest military leader at this moment at the hands of an Iowa boy. Edwin Coppoc saw from his port-hole the blue uniform of the commander and instantly drew a deadly bead on Lee at close range. Jesse W. Graham, one of Brown's prisoners, who was watching Coppoc, knew Lee and saw his danger. Instantly springing forward he caught the rifle before Coppoc could fire and during the struggle Lee stepped out of range, and so lived to strike the deadliest blow against his country that it ever encountered. Had Coppoc's bullet gone to its brilliant mark, a hundred thousand lives of American soldiers might have been spared." He was known as a brave, honest, straightforward, well-behaved Quaker. His letters to his mother while in jail apologized for his dishonorable death that was to come. He had not fully realized the consequences of raiding to free the slaves. He was nearly pardoned, but for a letter he wrote calling the Harper Ferrians the enemy. He and Cook nearly escaped the night of Dec. 14th. A northern ally had enrolled for service as a prison guard for the sole purpose of helping the raiders free themselves. This Charles Lenhart had told Coppock and Cook that he would be on duty August 14th. For the week before, Edwin and John had dug a whole in the wall of their cell and freed themselves from their chains using a knife they'd kept from a meal. However, they did not attempt the escape till the 15th, because Cook was a brother in law to the Governor of Indiana who had visited that day. He urged Cook not to leave until he was out of town, as that would have reflected on he and his sister. Coppoc would not leave his friend behind. On the 15th they tried their escape instead, left the cell, dropped 5 feet to the jail yard and climbed the final barrier. On their climb, Cook was spotted and they were forced back into a cell. They were hung together the next day. Here is an account of the hanging from C.B. Galbreath. "Intense excitement followed the attempt of the prisoners to escape. The people flocked in from the surrounding country to witness the executions. These were times when a legal hanging was still regarded as something of a holiday. The exhibition had not yet beendriven by public opinion from the light of day to the darkness of midnight, and the seclusion of the dungeon. It is claimed that four or five times as many were present as at the execution of John Brown. The place and scaffold were the same." (C-2246) Edwin died with complete determination and honor. He was originally buried at Winona, but his relatives had him reburied in Salem, Ohio where the entire town came to his funeral. It is a strange conflict of Quaker mind, as they did not believe in taking up arms. However, they deplored slavery so, that many of the Coppock's community supported John Brown's men with their full hearts. (C-745) The following are records about Edwin that were forwarded to me by my Uncle Richard Coate. "Edwin Coppock's Last Letter -- to His Uncle Joshua Coppock CHARLESTON, Dec. 13, 1859.JOSHUA COPPOCK: My Dear Uncle -I seat myself by the stand to write for the first and last time to thee and thy family. Though far from home and overtaken by misfortune, I have not forgotten you. Your generous hospitality towards me, during my short stay with you last spring, is stamped indelibly upon my heart, and also the generosity bestowed upon my poor brother who now wanders an outcast from his native land. But thank God he is free. I am thankful it is I who have to suffer instead of him. The time may come when He will remember me. And the time may come when He may still further remember the cause in which I die. Thank God the principles of the cause in which we were engaged will not die with me and my brave comrades. They will spread wider and wider and gather strength with each hour that passes. The voice of truth will echo through our land, bringing conviction to the erring and adding members to that glorious army who will follow its banner. The cause of everlasting truth and justice will go on conquering and to conquer until our broad and beautiful land shall rest beneath the banner of freedom. I had fondly hoped to live to see the principles of the Declaration of Independence fully realized. I had hoped to see the dark stain of slavery blotted from our land, and the libel of our boasted freedom erased, when we can say in truth that our beloved country is the land of the free and the home of the brave; but that cannot be. I have heard my sentence passed, my doom is sealed. But two more short days remain for me to fulfill my earthly destiny. But two brief days between me and eternity. At the expiration of those two days I shall stand upon the scaffold to take my last look of earthly scenes. But that scaffold has but little dread for me, for I honestly believe that I am innocent of any crime justifying such punishment. But by the taking of my life and the lives of my comrades, Virginia is but hastening on that glorious day, when the slave will rejoice in his freedom. When he can say, "I too am a man," and am groaning no more under the yoke of oppression. But I must now close. Accept this short, scrawl as a remembrance of me. Give my love to all the f amily. Kiss little Joey for me. Remember me to all my relatives and friends. And now farewell for the last time. From thy nephew, EDWIN COPPOCK Source: From Historical Collections of Ohio, by Henry Howe (1898)*************************************************************** Quote from a novel about Brown on the Internet: http://wwwfac.mcdaniel.edu/History/koce.htmlSource:KATY OF CATOCTIN George Alfred Townsend New York D. Appleton and Company1886"Only one man applauded when he was sentenced, and him the judge severely rebuked, so that in after-years he was afraid to shout at all, and grew timid of his own natural emotions. Little Ned Coppock had been tried, as John Brown came up for sentence, and when they sentenced him, who was almost a favorite with the populace, so fair and young he was, Ned also spoke: "I never committed murder. When I escaped to the engine-house and found the captain and his prisoners surrounded there, I saw no way of deliverance but by fighting a little. If anybody was killed on that occasion, it was in a fair fight."Coppock had been a poor orphan boy, but the Quaker who raised him found somewhere in him the spirit of the wild copack, or Russian lanceman, whence may have come his name; and when John Brown discovered him in Iowa he entered the crusade cordially, and it was not to his disparagement in Virginia that he had fought bravely. He stood up to be sentenced with his arms behind him, abreast of John Cook, whose arms were folded; and between them stood two negroes, Green, the South Carolinian, and Copeland from Oberlin - a college which educated blacks with whites." This novel about John Brown also included a character by the name of John Wilkes Booth.********************* The following is an excerpt from "David Hunter Strother's Lecture on John Brown in Cleveland, 1868 SOURCE DOCUMENT: A: M 2894, Box 8, FF16, West Virginia and Regional History Collection, West Virginia University Libraries.

Page 51rBrown takes leave of his Fellow Prisoners doubts whether the money had actually been forwarded. Brown then produced a bundle of letters carefully filed and the one in dispute was opened & examined. In the body of the writing the enclosure was mentioned, but it was discovered noted on the margin in pencil that upon consideration, the writer had withdrawn it & sent the amount to Mrs. Brown. The solution of this misunderstanding seemed to give the Old Man peculiar satisfaction & taking his visitors hand, apologized for the trouble he had given and took leave of him with unusual warmth. This was the last business transaction of his life. An hour afterward he was called on by the officers who were to convey him to the place of execution. Accompanied by them he visited the adjoining rooms to take a final leave of his fellow prisoners and late followers. To Stephens, Coppock, Copeland and Green he gave each a silver quarter of a dollar as a remembrance exhorting them to be of good cheer to die like men and not to betray their friends. To Cook he gave nothing but scathing words, reproaching him with falsehood & cowardice. Cook denied the charges & attempted to justify himself but was sternly silenced by his former commander. At any early hour the field which had been selected as the place of Execution was strongly occupied & guarded by the Military. The scaffold had been erected on a gentle swell." | COPPOC, Edwin (I661)
