This Edward might be the Edward Coppock who left a will in Mobberly, Cheshire Co., ENG in 1720. He was listed as a yeoman (farmer who owned his own property?). If so, his will as provided by Annie Natelleli W. is a s follows.

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.

Notes:

Richard Coppock was involved in the tanning trade, a business he probably inherited through marriage to Ellen Bradbury. Although he married in Mobberley, he doesn't appear to have ever lived there. He was instead a resident of Wilmslow.

This Richard who wrote his will in 1646 and has the children listed could be the Richard who was born in 1564 to Richard or in 1565 to Hugh, both of Wilmslow Parish, England. It could make sense that he is the son of Hugh as 3 of Hugh's children, Margaret, Richard and Sislie, have the same names as this Richard's children. However, the wrench in that theory is that "Richard the Yonger" (Younger?) which would probably be the Richard who is the son of Hugh is listed as the father of a Hugh b. in 1600. If he is the same one who had the many children listed below, why was he not listed as Richard the Yonger for any of his other children's births? In either case, he is highly likely to have the same ancestors within two or more generations. (C-2250E)

I am assuming that he is the Richard who was the son of Richard, born 1564, because he has multiple children with the same names as his parents and siblings, including Margaret, John, Richard, Ellen and Anne. He also has a daughter-in-law named Joan, but I don't know which of his son's he married. She could be the wife of Richard, Sisley, Edmund or Francis.

Richard Coppocke's will is as follows as transcribed by Paul C. Palmer from the Chester Record Office in Co. Chester England. Richard Coppocke, yeoman of Morely, WS 1648: "In the name of god amen etc The thertith daye of Decembe Anno Dom 1646 In the XXnth yeare of the rayne of o'sovarne Lord Charles by the grace of god of England Scotland France and Ireland [kinge defender of the] faith etc I Richard Coppocke of Morely with the county of Chester yeoman being of reasonable goode health but of good and perfect memorye the Lord make mee truly thankfull And being myndfull to setle that estate which the Lord Allmighty hath hitherto lent me forth of his Infinite goodnes and mercy so that there maye bee no dissention, suits or contoversies as touching the same doe herby make and declare this my last will and testamt in wryting in manner and forme following First and princiapally I doe herby commit and commend my soule into the hands of Allmighty god my creator, hoping to be saved by the prtious death and bloodsheading of Jesus Christ my savior and redeemer, And so thereby to bee made heyre of his glorious kingdome there to raiyne amonst his glorious and blessed Angeles for evermore.

This is probably the Richard referred to as Richard "the Yonger" in the baptismal record of Hugh Coppock, his likely son. (C-2251)

Notes:

A Richard Coppock appeared in a suit for recovery of Lands in Allricham, Northenden, co. Cheshire, England in 1546 in the Plea Rolls. That would estimate his birth date as previous to 1526, and a possible contemporary of Geoffery Coppock, also of Cheshire. Richard Coppock was born of Morley, Wilmslow Par., Cheshire, ENG bef 1545. This source of Elizabeth Harris's information on Richard Coppocke and John Coppock down to Bartholomew Coppock comes from fairly recent parish research by Corinne Hanna Diller, on the Coate/Coppock Family. It is Corrine's best guess based on parish records of Wilmslow, Cheshire, Eng. Her address is 8443 Sonneville Dr., Houston, TX 77080-3638. (C-613) It is possible, even likely, that Richard’s siblings were Hugh, William, and possibly Raphe. They are males of his age having children christened in the 1560-1570s in Wilmslow Parish, Cheshire, England. (C-204)

Annie Natalelli-Waloszek has a copy of the original and very hard to read will of Richard of Keckwicke, d 1592. He might be this same Richard who was in Northenden in 1546, though this is a guess. She transcribes it as follows: "Richard of Keckwicke 1592, wife Ellen, bros John and (rambo, cambo, cante, cance) ............ Anno Dei 1591, I Richard Coppocke of Keckwicke......(sicke of bodie but of perfecte memory, laud) and praise be to almighty god...

He was listed as a husbandman or farmer at the time of his death. It is conjecture on her part that the Richard who married Margaret is the son of the Richard who died in 1592, because the age is correct and they both were of Keckwick. (C-2250E)

Richard married Ellen. Ellen died after 1592. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
