Robert married Sarah Jane COPPOCK after 1815. Sarah (daughter of Benjamin J. COPPOCK, Sr. * and Susannah JAY) was born in 1799 in South Carolina, United States of America; died on 17 Jun 1871 in Greene County, Ohio, United States of America; was buried in Xenia, Greene County, Ohio, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her marriage to Robert Evans might be confused with the Sarah Coppock (b. 1801) who was the daughter of Joseph Coppock and Esther Patterson who also supposedly married a Robert Evans in the same time period.

Notes:

A Benjamin Coppock is listed as the head of household in the 1800 South Carolina Census, pg. 70 for Newberry District, South Carolina. Two males under age 10, 1 male between ages 26 and 45, 1 female between ages 16-26 and 1 slave are listed in this family. (C-219a, 299, 390k, 556) Benjamin Coppock and sons, Joseph and William were received on certificate from the Bush River Monthly Meeting, S. Carolina in the minutes of W. Branch Monthly Meeting, Ohio dated March 19, 1804. His wife Susannah and daughters, Jane and Elizabeth were added to these same minutes on the date of August 29, 1807. They settled 2 miles west of Ludlow Falls, Union Twp., Ohio where they raised a family of 10 children. (C-112, 1430)

Benjamin married Susannah JAY on 25 Jun 1796 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA. Susannah (daughter of William JAY, Jr. * and Margaret VOSS) was born on 19 Nov 1778 in , Newberry, SC, USA; died on 14 Jun 1859 in , Miami, OH, USA; was buried about 15 Jun 1859 in Ludlow Falls, Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

My Uncle has a 20 cM match on chromosome 13 with T572311 John Solon, both descendants of this Susannah Jay. Laurie Christine Rasch's application to the DAR gives Susannah's birth date as Nov. 19 1778. This Nov. 19, 1778 birth date is also in Charles Coppock's lineage in the Krell collection. It is listed elsewhere as Dec. 1778, 12/22/1778 (C-813, 864, 1430), 11/31/1778 (C-1460) or Nov. 20, 1778 (C-2109). The Nov. 19 date is based correctly upon her burial info which states that she was 80 years, 6 months and 25 days old when she died on Jun 14, 1859. The State of Ohio, Vital Records confirmed this as it stated that her birth date is Nov. 19, 1778 as recorded in a genealogy chart they prepared in 1962 for Horace Coppock as provided by Annie Natetelli Waloszek. She is listed 11th in her father's will. She joined the Quakers in South Carolina. (C-839, 2109) Her father, William, is also confirmed in Hinshaw when she married Benjamin Coppock.

Notes:

Joseph Coppock, son of John Coppock of Little Brittain Twp., Lancaster Co. PA married Jane Wilson, daughter of John Wilson of the Twp. of East Marlborough, Chester Co., PA according to their Quaker marriage record. The marriage record clearly stated that it took place on the 4th day, 5th month, 1769. Joseph left the East Nottingham MM, Chester Co., PA (also in Maryland) area on certificate dated Dec. 26, 1772 and was received in the Bush River MM, Newberry Co. area on April 30, 1774.

He and his children are all listed in Medlin's, [UL:Quaker Familes:UL]. He purchased land on Oct. 29, 1784 from John Ridgdel in Newberry. He is listed as an early businessman in Summer's "Newberry Co., SC Historical and Genealogical" book. (C-2774)

A Joseph Cupock is listed in the 1790 South Carolina Census, Newberry Co., 96th district, pg. 77 with 4 males age 16 & older, 3 males under age 16 and 4 females. This record probably applies to the above Joseph Coppock. He deeded land to (son or brother) Thomas on Mar. 14, 1794 in Newberry Co., South Carolina. (C-909) He sold land to Frederick Burtz on Sept. 17, 1797 in Newberry. Then Thomas Coppock sold Joseph land in the same county on November 7, 1797. (C-908) He was not listed in the 1800 census. He was possibly living with son, John as John's household lists a male over 45 as well as one from age 16-26. (C-219)

His will is as follows. *Coppock, Joseph, 11th day, 10th month, 1799 Will. "Where as I Joseph Coppock of Newberry County and State of South Carolina being Weak in Body but of Sound Mind and Memory Thanks be to God and Calling to mind that it is apointed unto Men onse to See, for Divers Causes and Considerations one herunto moving I do Hereby Ordain This My Last Will and Testement first I Recommend My Soul into The Hands of Almighty God Who gave it and after My Deceas my body to be Decently Buryed in a Christian Like Manner at the Discretion of my Executors and as Conserning my Wordly Estate Which it Hath Pleased god to ( ) me Doth I give Will and Bequeathe to My Beloved Wife Jane Coppock in the following manner That is to Say I give Her My House and Plantation and all the Movable Property that is mine at my Decease to Have The full (Authority) of for The benefit of Her own Support and to (the) ( ) The younger children unto be Wholy at & or Discresion and benefit until The youngest Child Comes to the age of Twenty one Namely ( ), Then it is my Desire That the (Farm) be Equally Divided amongst all my Children and That My beloved Wife Jane Coppock Have the full Privilege of the House Where I now Live during her Life and The one Third of the Land for her Support and also all the Personable Property That may be at that time to be Left Wholy to her Disposal as She may Think best that is to say When the youngest Child Comes of age, and at her Decease Her Third of the Land and all The Rest of the Property to be Equally divided amongst the children, and as to my Children That are of age and gon to them ( ) Namely my Son John my Son Thomas my Son Benjamin my Son Joseph Coppock and my Daughter Elizabeth Cote(s) Have all Received Different amounts Which is my Desire may be Taken out of their Parts at the ( ) and as to my other Children Nameley My Daughter Margarett my Daughter Jane My Son Samuel my Son William and my son Jesse it is my Desire that When they are married or of age may Receive Eaquil With the others of it Can be Shared but to be Left intirely at the Descresion of my beloved Wife as she may Think best at that time and further it is my desire that my beloved Wife Jane Coppock and my Son John Coppock and my Son Thomas Coppock to be my Executors of this my will and Testament & is annuling all other Wills by me heretomade and Signed, further it is my Desire that Joseph and Benjamin may have the Privilege of Keeping the Land and to Settle With the Others at such time as ( ) ( ) the ( ) agree amongst themselves, and Lastly I (Seal) ( ) ( ) to be my Last Will and Testament in Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand and Seal this 11 Day of The Tenth Month called October in the year of our Lord one Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety Nine and Signed in the Presents of Jacob ( ), Samuel Coate, (Matthew Coppock). Joseph Coppock, his seal." (C-883, 886)

Joseph married Jane WILSON in 4th da 5th mo 1769 in E. Nottingham M.M., , PA. Jane (daughter of John WILSON and Ruth COOKE) was born on 29 Sep 1751 in East Nottingham, Chester, Pennsylvania, United States; died on 10 Sep 1823 in Union M.M., Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jane's father is listed as John of East Nottingham in her marriage record. Her father's wife, Jane signs her name directly after Johns in the witness lists. (C-299, 1302) She is highly likely to be the Jane Coppock listed in the 1800 Newberry Census record. There was a female over 45 and between the ages of 16 and 26, with 2 males between 10-16 and one under ten. Her four youngest children fit the ages of this household. If it is her, her husband, Joseph died between the time he wrote his will in 1799 and summer of 1800 when the census was taken. She moved to Ohio in 1807 with sons William and Jesse. (C-670, 931, 2254)

Notes:

He and his elder siblings were not mentioned in his father's will. (C-168b) One of his wives is occasionally listed as Mary Cothran, but this is likely a mix-up with his brother Joseph who was married to a Mary Cothran/Cochran. William Jay served under Zachary Brooks as a private in the Penn. Regiment of artillery, Continental Line, during the Revolutionary War (C-170, 1328). This information is again verified in the DAR lineage Book, Vol. 128, p.92 (c1916). However, this later source differs in a few instances. It states that William Jay was born in 1746 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and died in 1812 in Newberry Co., South Carolina. This birth date and place could be correct but the death date does not fit with William's will administered 28th Feb. 1797 in Newberry Co., South Carolina. Vickie Leimback listed that William II was born in 1744 in Chester Co., Pennsylvania (C-611)

William Jay received part of the moveable goods from George Cox's will dated 21 Dec. 1789 in Newberry, South Carolina. (C-461) In the 1790 96th District, Newberry, SC Census, William is listed with the following household members: 2-6-3, 0-0. (C-974) That probably means that his children before Charlotte were married and living on their own at that time. A William, Jr.(probably this William) was disowned by the Quakers on 6/26/1790. The reason was not given. (C-457, p.104) A William Jay along with Thomas Wright and others took an inventory of the estate of James Cox of Newberry Co., decd., dated 16 July 1794. A William Jay along with probable son William Jay, Jacob Balinger, Daniel Clary, John Allison, John Wright, Jesse Palmer and Wright Coate prepared notes on the account of the estate of William Gilliam decd. in 1795/96 in Newberry, South Carolina. (C-461)

In his will dated Jan. 7, 1797, he listed all of his adult children by his first wife, and only one child by his second wife Margaret, who was Susana. He specifically makes bequeaths to his "beloved daughters and sons namely Mary, Sarah, William, David, James, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Layton, Ann, Deboror (and) ... Susana one shilling sterling. The rest, John, Charles, Tabitha and Isaac seemed to be lumped in as the children of Margaret. They are not named. She is simply given the rest of the money to "rase her children". Joseph Reagin, John and Benjamin Coppock were witnesses. The executors were John Jay and David Jay, Sen. (C-832, 867) His elder children received more than their one shilling sterling, however, as per court record filed in August 1797.

"The State of South Carolina Ninety Six District--I ...Jas Mayson one of the Judges of Newberry County do hereby certify unto all whome it may Concern that Margaret Jay the widow of the within Named William Jay Des. did this day appear before me and upon being privatly and serparetly Examined by me did declare that She do freely volunterily and without any Compulsion dred or feare of any person or persons whomsoever renouce release and forever relinquish unto the within named William Jay his heirs and assigns all her Intrust and Estate and also all her rite and clame of dower of in or to all and Singualer the promises within menchened and released Given under my hand and seal this fist day of August--1797 Jas. Mayson J.N.Co (Judge Newberry County)". (C-833, 2109) The sale of his estate had many asundry items sold often to his brothers, possible sons, son-in-laws, etc. It was certified by George Arnold, James Mills, and Isaac Hollingsworth. (C-837)

William married Margaret VOSS est 1778 in , , SC, USA. Margaret (daughter of Joseph VOSS and Mary Susan DOVE) was born in 1755 in North Carolina, United States; died after 1 Aug 1797 in Newberry, Newberry, South Carolina, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She signed away her dower rights to her husband's heirs on Aug 1, 1797. (C-168)
