| 304 | A Benjamin Coppock is listed as the head of household in the 1800 South Carolina Census, p. 70, for Newberry District, South Carolina. Two males under age 10, one male between ages 26 and 45, one female between ages 16 and 26, and one slave are listed in this family. (C-219a, 299, 390k, 556) Benjamin Coppock and his sons, Joseph and William, were received on certificate from the Bush River Monthly Meeting, South Carolina, in the minutes of West Branch Monthly Meeting, Ohio, dated March 19, 1804. His wife, Susannah, and daughters, Jane and Elizabeth, were added to these same minutes on August 29, 1807. They settled two miles west of Ludlow Falls, Union Twp., Ohio, where they raised a family of 10 children. (C-112, 1430) | COPPOCK, Benjamin J. Sr. * (I11074)

| 305 | A Big Y-DNA tester who descends from this William is an exact match to our James Calhoon, who died in Guilford County, North Carolina, in 1795. Based on the census records for James and Jean’s sons, this is the only place where William’s descendant appears to fit into James and Jean’s family tree. | CALHOUN, William (1820 census under age 10) Big Y: FT350465 (I5152)

| 307 | A Coppock researcher, Mr. Dale, copied a newspaper article from "The Guardian," published in 1910, which implies that this John and Margaret Deane Coppock are the parents of our Aaron Coppock. "The Coppocks of Mobberley & Tarvin, There appear to have been two distinct branches of the Northenden family living at Mobberley. One branch, probably cousins of John & Margaret Dean in 1634, and they had several children baptized at Mobberley, including Bryan, the eldest, 1645 (probably called after a kinsman of Etchells), Jonathan, Mary, Aaron, & Elizabeth." Here is how I interpret this: One branch of the Northenden Coppock family living at Mobberley were probably cousins to John and Margaret Dean, who married in 1634. John and Margaret Dean had several children baptized at Mobberley, including Bryan, the eldest, 1645 (probably named after the relative named Bryan who was a kinsman of the Etchells), Jonathan, Mary, Aaron, and Elizabeth. It matches in its entirety with what I have gleaned over the years about John the Tanner and Margaret Dean's family from Cheshire records, Ann Natalelli's sortings, and Gary Hawley's research. Furthermore, the article stated: "John Coppock of Mobberley, Tanner, was buried there in 1666, and his will is at Chester. His father was named John." This also matches the parents that I've sorted out for John the Tanner. There are no timeline discrepancies to prove otherwise. Aaron would have been born late, near the time of his father's death. His mother could still have been in her 40s at the time. The fact that she was young compared to her husband is supported by the fact that her mother was still living at the time John died, as he names her in his will. It should be noted that Alan Dale's transcription of this article in "The Guardian" implied that its source was an 1838 letter from Margaret Holland to her cousin Abigail Holland Coppock that was published in Irvine's "History of the Hollands." I located this book, entitled "The Family of Holland," but it doesn't mention anything about Aaron Coppock. Only the first paragraph of the letter is quoted in "The Guardian." It simply talked about her current Coppock cousins in Mobberley, but she never implied any relationship to this branch of the Coppock family or to our Aaron. Therefore, the quote above was from whoever submitted the article to "The Guardian" in 1910, and its source remains to be found. As for Margaret Holland of Mobberley, her Coppock cousins descended from John Coppock of Ringway, in the Parish of Bowdon, who married Katherine at Mobberley on Dec. 26, 1717, and died about 1754. In other words, her Coppock cousin was likely born in the 1690s and was a full generation younger than our Aaron Coppock. Margaret and her husband were having children every couple of years. Several of the children were not in the christening records. These included Ann, William, and Magdelin. They had an "infant" born in 1648 whom we assumed died and was never named in the christening records. (C-2430) John is listed as a tanner by trade of "Halle," also spelled Hale, located in Bowdon Parish, according to Annie. In 1634, he is also listed as being of Bowdon Parish when he married Margaret Deane. (C-2247) I suspect their first couple of children were born in Bowdon Parish and then they moved to Mobberley, where the majority of their children were born. He is listed as John the Tanner in both locations, and the timeline fits perfectly for him being one and the same person. The transcription of his will is as follows: "Will of John Coppock of Moberley, yeoman; to Wm. Coppock, my brother & unto John Coppock his son being my executors; all my lands in Mobberley; to my son Bryon Coppock; f50; my daughter Elizabeth f50, daughter Ann Coppock, f50, to Elizabeth Deane, my mother, Susanna Strettell of Manchester, Lancaster Co. widow; & to Susanna Burton daughter of the Susanna Strettell, to my son William Coppock lands if Wm. does not marry Rebecca Cowley of Ashton, Chester Co.; but if he does marry, then my brother William & his son John to pay to my son f20.40, to son Bryan Coppck, Magdelen Fletcher, Mary Cawley, Ann Coppock & Elizabeth Coppock, my daughters my wife Margarett Coppock. Proved Jan 17, 1666." He apparently submitted wills in 1660 and 1665, according to Annie Natalelli Waloszek. (This transcription is by Glenn Russhell and is his will written in 1665.)

| 309 | A correspondent, Lowell Pickett, suspects that this Elizabeth is part of the Jacobs family from Anne Arundel Co., MD. (C-1300) Elizabeth's probate papers are transcribed here in part: "George W. Tobin with Leonard Baum: Article of an agreement made and entered into this 27th (24th) day of September 1847 by and between George W.

| 310 | A Daniel L. and Bowen W. John are listed as purchasing Troy Lots 102, 110, and 111 in 1830 in the same deed record where Powell, Mary, Sarah, Samuel, and Cynthia Ann John are listed. His wife is listed as Sarah in this 1830 deed. He married Hannah Buckwalter in 1832. In the transcriptions of the 1830 and 1848 Chancery deed records, his middle initial is transcribed as S. His estate in 1846 was administered by David Clark, and securities were provided by Anthony Whole and William Vernis? (Docket of Adm. A-1, #1933, p. 227 - C-2320) | JOHN, Daniel S. (I8283)

| 314 | A family tree on Ancestry said that a son John, b. 1630, died in 1702 in Cumberland, England. If that source can be verified, then Edward is NOT the father of our John Martin. Our John Martin married a daughter of Thomas Pettus and his Indian wife. Their daughters were sought after among the early Jamestown men of the wealthy class in England. This was because Thomas Pettus was from a prestigious line in England and his daughters were half English. That suggests that whoever John's parents were, they were likely from the wealthy class. | MARTIN, Edward (I10705)

| 315 | A handmade booklet on this generation of Tharps says that Mary was declared by a jury to be insane in 1815. This would have been the term used at the time for dementia. Her son Zadock was named her guardian. (CL-317a) She died shortly afterward, and Zadock was the administrator of her estate, which he filed on May 28, 1816. The estate papers administered on May 28, 1816, list her and William's children as William, Joseph, Zedic, Isaac, Esther, Armelia Calhoon, Unica, Kezziah, and Ann. They name one grandson, Jesse, who was being cared for by Isaac (Zaus). She is listed under her married name in her father's deed transaction in Sussex, Delaware, in 1767, proving that she is a Ponder instead of a Harris, as is often printed. | PONDER, Mary (I12273)

| 317 | A letter written by Thomas Brooks Johnson on Feb. 18, 1833, from Eddy Grove, Caldwell Co., KY, when he was 18, to his uncle and aunt, presumably Betsey Johnson Moore of Paris, TN, states: "Grandfather Brooks (Thomas) died last fall, was a year ot a year ago, and Grandmother (Susannah Teague Brooks) is very low." Thomas Brooks is said to have died in 1831. According to this letter, Susannah Teague Brooks would still have been living in 1833 in Eddy Grove, KY. Another old letter passed down among descendants of this family transcribes the following from an old Johnson Bible: "In Uncle Davi (?) old Bible I find," and she goes on to list the names of the "Children of Thomas and Susannah Brooks." "Tabitha was born May the 4th (74?), Mary was born January 31st 17(?), Thomas was born May the 6th 17(?), Elijah was born Feb. 15th 1782, Jesse was born Sept 23rd, David was born Jun. 25th 1787, Mary was born Feb. 16th 1789, Elizabeth was born Oct 22 1794, Susannah was born Oct 22 1794, Rebechah was born Oct 21 98." "The dates are so moth-eaten and worn away I can not make them out." This last quote was from Mary Beard Smith Johnson to her mother-in-law, Susannah Johnson. | TEAGUE, Susanna (I7647)
|
| 318 | A likely older cousin of this family believes that she was married twice. She believes her second marriage could have been to Anton Zajac, by whom she had John Anthony Zajac, b. 1891 in Zborov, Slovakia, a half-brother to Katarina. John Anthony's parents were Anton Zajac and Margarita Katarina Hruskovic, according to research by Elizabeth Beechwood. If this is the case, John Anthony also had siblings named Joseph, Therecia, and Mary who would have been half-siblings to Mary Hruskovic. Mary was born on Jan. 2, 1889. There are persons with the same last name in Zborov Parish who are likely relatives of Catharina. There is a Maria Katalyik who was a godparent to a Joannes ( )kovics on Oct. 2, 1867. | KOTULÁK, Catharina (I10614)

| 320 | A Maria Tejrik is living with Julia Pipik's stepsons, Peter and Tedor Dudik, in house 28 in Nevike in 1869. She was a widow and was born in 1804. In other words, she was an elder compared to everyone else in the Dudik household and was highly likely to be related to Julia Tejrik. Julia Tejrik is a widow and an attendant by trade, living with the Leopold Bergida and Argentina Gostlieb family in house 37. Her stepson, Fedor, lives in house 35. | PIPIK, Yulianna (I9064)

| 324 | A Richard Coppock appeared in a suit for recovery of lands in Altrincham, Northenden, Co. Cheshire, England, in 1546 in the Plea Rolls. That would estimate his birth date as before 1526 and make him a possible contemporary of Geoffery Coppoco of Cheshire. Richard Coppock was born in Morley, Wilmslow Parish, Cheshire, ENG, before 1545. The 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 Corinne'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 who had children christened in the 1560s-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...

Wherefor ma... be published John Copocke senior John Louis Robert Kinekede" (C-2329) 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.

| 325 | A transcription of James Scott's will, dated 1804, is provided by Charlotte Coats Siercks: "James Scott - of Turky Creek - being well stricken in years - wife Hannah Scott - grandson George Wilson - son in law: James Coate, all lande southside of Turky Creek and on the North the Hill where his house stands - referes to son and daughter 'James and Elizabeth Coate, female children'...looks like he gave them a slave...witnesses: John Saltio or Salteo, Jacob McDaniel and Ebeuatus Stevens (not sure of the spelling of that first name Ebeuatus) proved in July 10th 1807; recorded May 17, 1808."

|
| 326 | A William Coppack who lived in Ringway and Hale, Cheshire Co., ENG, and left a will and inventory of his estate in 1684 is likely to be this William. If so, he was a tanner by trade. He is also likely to be the William who was of Bodenh (Bowden Parish) in 1635 and had a daughter, Anne, christened on Jan. 24, 1635/6, in Wilmslow Parish, Cheshire, ENG. Hale is in Boden/Bowden Parish, so both Williams are likely to be one and the same. (C-2251j) | COPPOCK, William (I15318)

|
| 328 | A William Pearson from the Uwchlan Monthly Meeting in Chester Co., PA went to Bush River, SC Monthly Meeting to visit his family on Jul 6, 1780. Since this is the Pearson family that I know ends up in Bush River Monthly Meeting, I suspect that he is related to this Samuel Pearson. (C-2140) | PEARSON, Samuel (I13178)
|
| 329 | Aaron spells his name Aron in his will and his certificate of removal to PA, but signs his name AARON in his Quaker marriage record. The name Coppock comes from the place of origin for this family when the surname came into use. It was an estate in East Cheshire, and almost all early Coppock references come from near this region. The exception is a few Coppocks listed from South Lancashire in England. From medieval times forward, the name has been spelled Coboke, Coppack, Coppick, Copuck, Coppak, and Coppock. (C-963, E) Aaron was christened on January or February 6, 1666, on his original christening record and listed as the son of John. The problem with knowing the date is that the Bishop's transcripts give the date as January 6, 1666. Aaron's birth date varies according to several secondhand sources. The 25th day, 10th mo., 1662 date for Aaron's birth comes from an old book entitled "A Collection of Memorials Concerning Divers Deceased Ministers and Others of the People called Quakers in Pennsylvania, New-Jersey, and Parts Adjacent, from Nearly the First Settlement Thereof in the Year 1787." This was basically a Quaker obituary written over sixty years after his death, and they could easily have had the date wrong. It had his death date wrong and his likely age wrong. (C-253b, C-703) He was born the 9th of August 1667 according to an L.D.S. ancestral file of unknown source. The Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society Quarterly in 1921 states that his birth date was August 19, 1662 and 1683. In England at the time, babies were baptized as quickly after birth as possible, with a three-week-old baby being baptized late. Therefore, the 25th day, 10th mo., 1662 date is probably Dec. 25, 1666 instead, which occurred right before his Jan. 6, 1666 christening date, according to Gary Hawley's theory. (E) To quote Gary on the christening practices of England: The rules governing the baptism of infants can be found in any 1662 Book of Common Prayer. "It was the intention of the Church of England that children's baptism should be deferred no 'longer than the first or second Sunday next after their birth.' It was also the intention that children should be baptized in Church in the presence of a congregation 'when most number of people come together.' The preface to the service is very clear that private baptism was only to be used in exceptional circumstances." This pattern is even held in their church today, and I therefore agree that Aaron was likely born in Dec. 1666 instead. In our Aaron's baptismal certificate, it clearly states he is the son of John. The problem is that there were four Johns in Mobberley at the time who were of an age to be his parent, from my point of view. The first and most commonly published person is John, married to Susan Lowe. This one has a conflict because Aaron's 1662 birth date listed in his obituary is within months of their daughter Rose's birth. The second theory is John, the son of William (brother to John and Margaret Deane Coppock). He was likely born in the 1630s. Nothing further is known about him other than the fact that he was mentioned in his Uncle John's will of 1665. A third theory is that he is John the Tanner, who married Margaret Deane in 1634 and died in 1666. The fourth is that he is the grandson of John the Tanner and Margaret Deane through their son John. I am nearly convinced at this point that Aaron's father fits my third theory, that he is the son of John the Tanner and Margaret Deane, for the following reasons. A Coppock researcher, Alan Dale, copied a newspaper article from "The Guardian," published in 1910, that implies that John the Tanner and Margaret Deane Coppock are the parents of our Aaron Coppock. "The Coppocks of Mobberley and Tarvin, There appear to have been two distinct branches of the Northenden family living at Mobberley. One branch, probably cousins of John and Margaret Dean in 1634, and they had several children baptized at Mobberley, including Bryan, the eldest, 1645 (probably called after a kinsman of Etchells), Jonathan, Mary, Aaron, and Elizabeth." Here is how I interpret this: One branch of the Northenden Coppock family living at Mobberley were probably cousins to John and Margaret Dean, who married in 1634. John and Margaret Dean had several children baptized at Mobberley, including Bryan, the eldest, 1645 (probably named after the relative named Bryan who was a kinsman of the Etchells), Jonathan, Mary, Aaron, and Elizabeth. This list matches in its entirety with what I have gleaned over the years about John the Tanner and Margaret Dean's family from Cheshire records, Ann Natalelli's sortings, and Gary Hawley's research. Furthermore, this article stated: "John Coppock of Mobberley, Tanner, was buried there in 1666, and his will is at Chester. His father was named John." This also matches the parents that I've sorted out for John the Tanner. There are no timeline discrepancies to prove otherwise. John the Tanner wrote his will and died before our Aaron was born, accounting for the lack of evidence as to which John is the father of Aaron. Although they basically had a grown family when John wrote his will, Margaret could have easily been born about 1620 or slightly before, making her in her mid- to late 40s when she had Aaron. This is still totally possible as a late-life baby. Secondly, Aaron is a very rare Coppock name. In fact, our Aaron is the first one to have it as a name. There are only three Aarons christened in all the parish records for the area: this Aaron in Jan. 1666, one in 1721, and one in 1746. This actually supports the fact that our Aaron is the son of John the Tanner and Margaret because the other two were grandsons and great-grandsons of John the Tanner and would have been named after our Aaron. (C-1295, 2246, 2267) Further circumstantial evidence that could help us ascertain who his parents are comes from the closest-kin column on Aaron's marriage certificate to Miriam Short. There are two names under the closest-kin column. The first is his wife's sister, Ann, and the second is Lydia Carter. Lydia Carter, by her position on the list, could easily be a relative of Aaron's. Robert Carter also attended the wedding. Robert Carter (b. 1665 in Oxford, England) married Lydia Walley in 1688. Her parents were John and Alice Walley, and her grandfather was John Walley, who was born in Cheshire, England, the same county where Aaron was born. One thing is certain: she is a close relative of Aaron Coppock or his wife, Miriam, especially since they named their second daughter after her. (E) I suspect that this relationship may one day help prove or disprove my theory that John the Tanner is the father of Aaron. (C-2430) Aaron Coppock's first marriage to Mary (Orrell) in 1/1688 was probably outside of the Quaker church. The Orrells were next-door neighbors to the Coppocks in Pownall Fee. According to an Internet site, he supposedly was married twice. His first marriage was to a Mary in England. They had a son, Aaron, born at Mobberley, England, who was buried there on Feb. 9, 1691, in the Anglican Church of England's graveyard. He came to Pennsylvania in 1683 according to the Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society Quarterly, 1921 issue. He came in 1685 from Nottingham, England, to Nottingham Co., MD, according to the "LittleJohn Family History," written in 1953 by Mrs. Iris Littlejohn McKown. He had likely converted to the Quaker faith by 1695, when he was fined for failure to tithe to the Church of England. He paid the fine in corn. He apparently traveled back to England, as he received a certificate of removal on the 23rd day, 3rd mo., 1701, from Pownall Fee Monthly Meeting of Friends in Cheshire, England. He traveled to Bristol, England, probably in that year, to return by boat to Pennsylvania. He married Miriam Short on the 30th day, 9th mo., 1704, in either the Upper Chichester Meeting of Friends, Delaware Co., PA, the Nottingham Monthly Meeting, or the New Garden Monthly Meeting, all in Pennsylvania. Their marriage is recorded in all three places. This is one of the histories based upon it being recorded in the Nottingham M.M. of Maryland: "Maryland Quaker Records: Nottingham Monthly Meeting, Cecil County, Book F - 1808-1836." "Miriam White declared intentions of marriage the 1st time at Concord MM, PA, 11-7-1704 OS; 1tm 13-9mo (Nov) 1704; rptd married 11 10mo (Dec) 1704 OS (Note: James Trimble says "Aaron Coppock was advanced in age when he settled in E Nottingham about 1704; and died about 1728; he was a minister. His son, John Coppock, married Margaret, daughter of Joseph Coulson, of Germantown, Philadelphia Co., PA, at W Nottingham MH, 16-1mo (Mar) 1730/1 OS; tradition says that this Joseph was a brother of Thomas Coulson, the Nottingham emigrant, and that his daughter Margaret resided with her uncle Thomas in W Nottingham at the time of her marriage to John Coppock." This information does not quite match the information I've found on him so far. According to my research, Aaron lived in Easton Twp., Chester Co., PA, at the time of his marriage to Miriam. He was not advanced in age, but in his 30s to 40s. In 1713, he, his wife, his brother-in-law Joel Baily, and his wife all sold land together. Aaron and his family then moved to Nottingham Twp. on the border of Maryland. He was an Overseer, Elder, and Quaker Minister for 42 years in the East Nottingham Monthly Meeting in Maryland/Pennsylvania. His will, dated Dec. 1726, can be found in Book A, page 205, West Chester, Pennsylvania. (C-2246) It is curious that at the 1731 marriage of his son, John, he is listed as the father from East Nottingham Twp., Chester Co., Province of Pennsylvania, deceased. It does not mention his wife, though she is a witness in the relatives column on the Quaker wedding document. He is listed in "A Collection of Memorials Concerning Divers Deceased Ministers and Others of the People called Quakers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Parts Adjacent, from Nearly the First Settlement Thereof in the Year 1787," no author given, printed by Joseph Crukshank, Market Street, Philadelphia, 1787, pages 64-65. The following translation is provided by Gary Hawley: "AARON COPPOCK This Friend was born in Cheshire, Great Britain, Tenth mo. 25th, 1662. He was convinced of the Truth when quite young, and removed to Pennsylvania soon after. He is supposed to have been a son of Bartholomew Coppock, who in 1682 settled with his family near Chester. Bartholomew was a man of good standing in civil and religious Society, being often used in religious appointments, and representing, on numerous occasions, the county of Chester in the Assembly of Pennsylvania. About the year 1714, Aaron Coppock removed to reside at Nottingham, still in the county of Chester, with his family. Being a friend of sound judgment, and exemplary in his walking, he was, soon after his removal, chosen an elder, in which station he did not long continue, his heavenly Father having called him to the work of the ministry. During the short period that was allotted him to labour in this service, he was "concerned to exhort Friends to a life of self-denial, watchfulness and prayer." This his friends say "he did in great sincerity, zeal and innocence." He was diligent in the attendance of meetings, and, we doubt not, was often admitted to participate therein of that blessed communion which the humble worshippers of Christ Jesus do at seasons witness with him. On the 1st day of the Tenth month, 1725, he was taken ill, and suffered greatly. During the early part of his sickness, poverty of spirit was his portion, and a consequent depression of mind. This dispensation, which was no doubt in infinite wisdom administered, soon passed away, leaving a blessed prospect of eternal happiness before him, with a sure hope that he should, through adorable mercy, partake thereof. In this assurance, knowing in whom he had believed, he departed this life, after a sickness of nine days. He was sixty three, and been engaged in the ministry of the gospel about seven." His death date in this source is listed as 10th mo., 10th day, 1725, at age 63. Memorials were often written after the fact and included errors. This date is likely at least one year early according to when his will was written. (C-2059) His will is as follows: "I Aaron Coppock of Notingham being Sick and weak of body but of a Sound and well Disposing mind and Memory do Make this as my Last will and testament revoking all other wills have heretofore been Made of done by me----- First my will is (that) my body be decently buried and (that) all my Just debts & funerall Charges be defrayed as Soon as Pofsible after my decease Secondly I give and bequath Unto my Son John Coppock ye plantation whereupon I Now Live when he comes of age but my will is (that) my wife Shall have liberty to live thereupon during her Natural life & to have ye Use of (that) house & buildings (that) half of the orchard & ye half of the other Improvements upon ye plantation to be at her own difpose while Shee lives & if my wife & Son John Sees Meet to part then my Son John to have Liberty to build Upon Some other part of ye Land where he Shall think Convenient & to have ye other hlf of ye Imrovement to his own proper Ufe when Equaly divided & after his mothers decease the whole to be for ye proper Use & behoofe of his & his heirs for Every whole tract containing one hundred Acres or therabouts Item I give Unto my daughter Lydia Coppock Tenn pound Item I give Unto my daughter Miriam Coppock Tenn pound (ye said) payments to be paid Unto them Two year after my decease but if they should be Married before ye time perfixed then ye Legacy to be paid them at ye day of Marriage ------ Item I give Unto my daughter Sarah Frayzer five Shillings Item I give Unto my dauther Martha Robinson five Shillings Item I give Unto My dauther Mary Sinclear five Shillings Item I give unto my Son In Law Ralph Thomson ye Money (that) is due to me Upon bill it being fourty Shillings ------ Item I give Unto my Son In law John White five Shillings.

Aaron Coppock prov: ye 17:10 (illegible)" (C-1425c&d, 2150) According to "Quaker Biographical Sketches," he took ill on the first day of the 10th month in 1725 and died nine days later. Noting that his will was written in 1726, I'd say this source was simply incorrect about the year his death took place. If he was truly 63 years of age at his death, this would make his birth in 1663 instead. It should be remembered that this eulogy was written years after his death, and like many eulogies of this type, it could contain data and detail errors based upon the memories of persons who weren't necessarily members of his family. His christening in 1666 means he's much more likely to have been born in 1666 also and that his age, birth date, and death date were all estimates. (C-2260) A prayer book had been passed down in the family to Anna Godwin that is now lost. It was inscribed in Aron's handwriting: "We are the Clan MacDonell of Keppoch and our clan cry is God and St. Andrew." This Clan MacDonnell was of Keppoch in ancient times, in what is now the region called Glengarry. The Coppocks who come from this clan were specifically from Lochaber in this region, according to their homepage at http://www.clan-donald-usa.org/septs.htm.

| 330 | Aaron was a Quaker minister. All of his children were born in Tennessee from 1798 to 1811. He was received into New Hope M.M., Greene Co., TN, on Dec. 31, 1796, from Bush River M.M. in SC, where he had grown up. On Jan. 3, 1818, he and his family were received into Newberry Monthly Meeting in Blount Co., Tennessee. In Aaron's will, written in Ohio, he named his wife, Margaret; daughter Elizabeth and his other two daughters; son Aaron in Tennessee and grandson Aaron; and sons Elijah, Abraham, and Josiah. His executors were Samuel Coate Jr. and his son Josiah Coppock. His witnesses were Nicholas Tucker, Richard Thompson, and William Coppock. (C-1017, 1546, 2247e) | COPPOCK, Aaron F. (I12588)

| 331 | Abel was in Gallia Co., OH, in the 1820 census; Tippecanoe Co., IN, in the 1830 census; Clinton Co., IN, in the 1840 (CL-434) and 1850 censuses (CL-435); and Fountain Co., Indiana, in the 1860 census. He had lived in Ohio by 1817 because his son was born there between 1817 and 1818. He lived in all the right places to be the son of Joseph and Elcy Tharp of Boone Co., IN, and his first two children are named after his mother, Elsey, and his brother or grandfather, William Tharp. (CL-425) He is living adjacent to his possible father Joseph, brother William, and son or nephew Isaac in the 1830 Tippecanoe Co., IN, census, and he is still living next to his likely father in the 1850 Clinton Co., IN, census. (CL-436) He appears to have been married three times, although the second marriage could have been to an unknown son named Abel. He is married to a Margaret in the 1860 Fountain Co., IN, census. He is listed as Abel Thorp in his first marriage record. (CL-425) There was an Abel Tharp and John McCay who bought a storeroom built by John Schultz in 1853 and converted it into a saloon in Pulaski Co. After that, it was converted into Medarysville's first schoolhouse by 1857-58. This could easily be our Abel Tharp. (CL-437) | THARP, Abel (I13213)

| 332 | Abiathar emigrated from Wales to Wrightsboro, Georgia. He also lived in Pennsylvania. By 1810, he is listed in the Miami Co., Ohio, tax lists. In 1820, he lived in Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio, and by 1840, he lived in Pike Twp., Clark Co., Ohio, according to census records. It is possible that his parents were Griffith Davis and Elizabeth Coates of Wales and Pennsylvania. | DAVIS, Abiathar * (I7275)

| 333 | Abner Bunnell provided public service during the Revolutionary War and is in the DAR Records. (F-331) | BUNNELL, Abner (I11006)
|
| 334 | Abner shows up in multiple Posey Co., Indiana, court records from 1819 to 1826. His wife, Margaret, is in one of the court cases in May 1821. There is also a Benjamin Coats who appears often in those same records from Feb. 1822 through August 18[MISSING OR CORRUPTED TEXT]. I suspect he was Abner's son or brother, if the death date of 1820 that I have for his brother Benjamin is incorrect. Other Coats who could be children of Abner and Margaret and are listed in those same records are James, George, Ann, Jesse, and Lacy Coats. Even if this Abner turns out not to be the one who died after 1826, I most certainly would suspect that the Abner and Margaret who were in Posey Co., IN, were closely related to this Abner from Chester Co., Pennsylvania, possibly as a son and daughter-in-law or as a nephew and his wife. | COATES, Abner (I13568)
|
| 335 | Abner was in Capt. Andrew Price's Co. of Queen Anne's Co. Militia in 1748/9. He lived in Mispillion Hundred, Kent Co., DE, from 1752 to 1760, according to the tax ratables. He was deeded land in 1759 by Ezekiel Meers. | THARP, Abner (I90)
|
| 336 | Abraham administered his father's estate in 1710. On June 25, 1712, he purchased his first 300 acres of land from Griffith Jones in Richland Twp., Pennsylvania. Abraham and his wife had the first white child born in that township, named Griffith Jr., on Feb. 13, 1713. Abraham spent the end of his life on a 100-acre farm south of there in Rockhill. (C-1875) | GRIFFITH, Abraham (I14466)

| 337 | Abraham and Thomas were twins. (C-1561) | COOKE, Abraham (I314)
|
| 338 | Abraham J. Daner married Eliza J. Rusk on Nov. 29, 1865, at the bride's home, according to a book of birth, marriage, and death records for Gallia Co., Ohio. Abraham (Frank?) and Elizabeth Rusk had a son, William Baxter, and one daughter, E. Abraham is in the 1850 census, age 1, with his father Jacob and mother Sarah, and in the 1860 census, age 15. He is missing from the 1870 census. His wife and children, Elizabeth, William, then age 3, and Ellen, age 1, are in the 1870 census living with or near her parents, Samuel and Ellen Rusk, in Addison Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. In the 1880 census, William and Ellen are living with their grandfather Jacob in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. Abraham is likely the one who served in the Civil War from March 8, 1865, to Aug. 24, 1865. Descendants of this line lived in Galion, Crawford Co., Ohio. | DANNER, Abraham (I11066)
|
| 339 | Abraham moved first to Cecil Co., MD. He is probably the Abraham Hollingsworth, along with Stephan Hollingsworth, whose land was called "Partner's Parcel" and adjoined his father Thomas's land, known as "Jacob's Adventure." He moved to Winchester in 1733 after buying 582 acres from Alexander Ross near Winchester, VA, in 1732. He named it "Abraham's Delight." Their home began as a log cabin. It was located on a creek and springs, which enabled him to build the first flour mill in the county. In 1734, when his son George married Hannah in Nottingham M.M., Maryland, Abraham's location is listed as the north side of Opequon in the colony of Virginia. Abraham signed a petition in June of 1738-9 requesting the clearing of a road in Orange Co., Virginia. (C-956) In his will, dated Sept. 23, 1748, he bequeathed 1,232 acres of land, 1,050 of which were on Opequon Creek near Winchester and were called "Abraham's Delight." He had obviously added to its size over the years. (C-1546) | HOLLINGSWORTH, Abraham * (I14225)

| 340 | Abraham, at the young age of about 16, took official care of his youngest siblings, Ebenezer and Elizabeth, according to the 1713 bond records in the probate section of the Guilford, CT, vital records. (F-504) | DOUDE, Abraham (I14114)
|
| 341 | Abraham, his wife, and family emigrated from Cranbrook, England, and arrived in Guilford, CT, in 1639, the year Guilford was founded. Abraham is listed as Abraham Sr. on the 1650 Planters List for Guilford, with the date of May 19, 1651, for his admission as a freeman. The mother of all of his children is most often listed as Mary Hinkson. However, if the baptismal record found for daughter Mary is correct, then it is likely that her siblings could also be the offspring of an Elizabeth. (F-498, 509) | CRUTTENDEN, Abraham (I12714)

| 342 | Absolam's name is spelled in a variety of ways in various firsthand records: Absolom, Absalom, or Absolam. Absolam Mast's family's birth dates come from his Bible. He was born in Randolph Co., NC, at the [MISSING OR CORRUPTED TEXT] Court House, according to articles in the Englewood Independent Magazine. He moved with his family from North Carolina to Ohio when he was about five or six. He was one of the most prominent citizens in the county, according to "The Mast Family History." He was a farmer by trade. He lived in Randolph Twp., Montgomery Co., according to census records from 1830 to 1850. He built a lovely home, still standing and well cared for in 2004, on State Route 48 at the corner of Philipsburg Rd. in Randolph Twp., Montgomery Co., Ohio. This home is within a quarter mile of his father's home, also restored and in lovely condition in 2004, on Section 3 of Randolph Twp. Absalom's home was highly likely to have been built on his father's property. Known as "Captain Mast," he headed the militia known as a Light Horse Co. He loved horses and was a fine horseman. He is listed as living with Labin/Sabin? (age 63) and Rebecca Jenks (age 60) in the 1860 census. He was age 62 and lived in Milton Twp. (now the town of West Milton), Miami Co., Ohio. There appears to be no relationship to them, as they were both born in Rhode Island. He was born in North Carolina, was a farmer, and had property worth $14,000 in that census. (C-79, 756, 1025, 2537) At least two of his children were highly valued citizens, according to the following undated newspaper clipping: "Accident Fatal to Aged Woman, Mrs. Jane Pickering, 94, Dies at West Milton... Feb. 1. Mrs. Jane Pickering died yesterday at the advanced age of 94 years. About two months ago, the decedent fell from her chair and broke her hip. This accident coupled with the infirmities of age was the immediate cause of her death. She was the widow of Albert Pickering, a successful business man, who dies in 1891, and a sister of the the late Asher Mast. Probably no other residents of West Milton were held in higher esteem than Mr. and Mrs. Pickering who had always resided here and were prominent members of the social and business life of the town. There were no children in the home but a niece, Mrs. Ida Coate, was reared in their home as well as other relatives who loved and revered her as a mother. Not withstanding the age of the decedent, she retained an active and keen interest in all current events. Funeral services will be held from the residence, Thursday morning at 11 o'clock. Interment will be made in Riverside." (C-372) | MAST, Absalom (I10764)
|
| 343 | According to "Early Families of Pennsylvania," Abraham received a warrant for 150 acres of land in Philadelphia, PA, on September 12, 1734, the same month as his father. However, this source also estimates his birth date as 1725 and his siblings' birth dates as being in the 1720s and 1730s. If his birth date was about 1725, it does not make sense that he was the Abraham who obtained land in Philadelphia in 1734. According to this same source, his children were Abraham, Elizabeth, Mary Angela, Gertraudt, Sabina, and Susanna, born from the late 1740s through the 1750s. (C-2408) | HARP, Abraham (I15218)
|
| 344 | According to "Gallia Co., Ohio, People in History to 1980," Elizabeth helped her mother spin, weave, knit, and cook for their family before she married. Her nickname was Betsey. Her marriage record in 1836 was the first record of this family in Gallia County. The rest of her family appears in the 1840 census. Her father did not actually buy his property in Raccoon Twp. until 1841. Her family has very few names that are repeated among the generations surrounding Elizabeth. Among her siblings, Elizabeth, Mary, and Ann are repeated, but the boys' names all seem to vary. I can't tell whether any of Elizabeth's children were named after her side of the family, and we don't know Thomas J. Morgan's side of the family well enough to check that. She is listed as age 58 in the 1880 census records for Jackson Co., Ohio. Her birth date, birthplace, and death date came from a page inserted in the family Bible that was scanned into Ancestry in 2011. It was a page written when some of their children were still alive. She was born deep in South Wales. | REASE, Elizabeth * H4a1h (I10754)

| 345 | According to "Mayflower Births and Deaths," Samuel remarried the same day his wife, Mary (Hilliard), died. This obviously seems suspicious, but he did have a 10-day-old infant at that time who would have needed to be tended to, as well as his other children. His tombstone is partially buried, covering up his age and his second wife's age. It, or some unfound source, says he was 89 at the time of his death and his wife was 83. Both of these ages would have been quite elderly for the time. I am unable to verify his birth year, parentage, or place of birth in FreeREG with the parentage given for him. If this is incorrect, he might be any of the following: County: Suffolk Place: Lowestoft Church name: St Margaret Register type: Parish Register Baptism date: 9 Dec 1593 Person forename: Samuell Person sex: M Father forename: Robert Father surname: WARDE County: Norfolk Place: Walcott Church name: All Saints Register type: Other Transcript Baptism date: 16 Jun 1594 Person forename: Samuell Person sex: M Father forename: Robert Mother forename: Brigitt Father surname: WARD County: Essex Place: Sible Hedingham Church name: St Peter Register type: Parish Register Baptism date: 19 Mar 1597/8 Person forename: Samuell Person sex: M Father forename: Tho.

| 346 | According to "The History of Lehigh Co., PA," Jacob was the son of Jacob Herb and nephew of Abraham Herb. He lived in Washington Twp., Berks Co., PA, where he died several years after the Civil War. He was nearing age 70 at the time. His wife had preceded him in death many years before that. They are buried at Hill Church. His profession is listed as laborer. His children were Jacob, who lived in District Township; Daniel, b. 1816; and Abraham and Samuel, also residents of District Township. "Samuel was killed in a stone quarry." He had a daughter whose name is unknown who married Lewis Weiser. (C-395) | HERB, Johann Jacob (I6995)

| 349 | According to a 1637 court case, Robert Dudley (second son after brother Edward died young) brought suit to procure land that was being abused by his younger brother Dudd Dudley. According to him, it had legally been given to his deceaseder Edward, a minor. It was in the care of Edward's mother, Elizabeth Tomlinson till Edward reached his majority. After Edward died young and Elizabeth passed also, Edward's land was suppose to go to both Robert and Dud Duddley but had been abused by his brother Dud Duddley who also obtained the monies from it's goods and destruction. Robert files a request to have the land put in his name instead as the eldest living son of Elizabeth Tomlinson and Lord Dudley and to be absolved of Dud Duddley's debt (that history shows us Dudd built up in his business practices. He also He did not file this request until seven years after his mother's death. It obviously was a long held grudge. | TOMLINSON, Edward (I973)
