This is possibly this Edward Coppock because his cemetery record places him at the right age to be this Edward. "Here lieth the body of Edward Coppock of Mobberly, who departed this life 12 of September, 1720, in the 76th year of his age." (born ca. 1644) His data was on the same cemetery stone as "William Coppock of Mobberley" (b. ca 1688), who "departed this life Jan 12 1741 in the 53rd year of his age" and Joseph, son of Joseph Coppock and Mary Barrett of Mobberley. It should be noted however, that I don't know how these other persons fit with this particular family.
