Notes:

This line is theory on my part. In the Wilmslow parish records there are basically three generations of Coppocks listed. The John who is listed as a tanner having a son in that Parish in 1608, could only be from the generation before that which is John's, born in the 1560's. This John is also a tanner. He could be the John who is the son of William as listed here, or the son of his likely brother, Richard, christened on Mar 5, 1566/7.

I have placed him as the son of William because the naming patterns fit for this family and because at this time we believe Richard's son John was married to Joane Wilkinson. (C-204) John being the father of John, bpt. in 1608 who later marries Margaret Deane is also supported in the letter written by Margret Holland in the 1800's.

Family/Spouse: Susanna UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. John COPPOCK, The Tanner was born in 1608 in , Cheshire, ENG; died in 1666 in Mobberley, Cheshire, ENG.
2. William COPPOCK was born before 1620; died in 1684 in Of Ringway And Hale, Bowden Parish, Cheshire, ENG.

Notes:

There was a tailor named William Coppocke who left a will in 1597 in Mollington that might be this William. (C-2250E)

Notes:

It is conjecture on my part that an unknown Coppock had at least 4 sons living in Wilmslow Parish, Cheshire England in the mid 1500's. They are Richard, William, Hugh and Raphe all having children in a similar place in a similar time period. Raphe had his first child a good 6 years after his possible siblings though.

There is a will and inventory for a Richard Coppocke, Husbandman, (meaning farmer) in 1592 in Keckwich which could possibly apply to this unknown Coppock. (C-2250E)

The earliest Coppock will that has been found and translated is for a William Coppock of Wath in 1468. The transcription is Walter Coppock's version, probably from David F Coppock of Blaby as forwarded by Annie Natalelli Waloszek. "In the name of God Amen. In the year of our lord 1468 namely on the 7th day of September in the presence of the Vicar of Wath, Matthew Marshe, Richard Hochnonson, John Tilney, John Parcor and others, I William Coboke, being of sound mind but sick in body because the hour of my death is imminent, make my testament in this manner First I bequeath my soul to almighty God the blessed Mary and all the saints and my body for Christian burial in the parish church of All Saints in Wath.
