| 8. | Rich COPPOCKE was born in 1564 in Wilmslow, Cheshire, ENG; was christened on 4 Oct 1564 in Wilmslow, Cheshire, ENG (son of Richard COPPOCK, * and Ellen, son of Hugh COPPOCK); died before Nov 1648. 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)
