| 352 | 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, had a daughter, Anne, christened on Jan 24, 1635/6 in Wilmslow Parish, Cheshire, ENG. (C-2251j) Hale is in Boden/Bowden Parish, so both William's are likely to be one and the same. | Coppock, William (I15076)

| 353 | A William Pearson from the Uwchlan Monthly Meeting in Chester Co., PA went to Bush River, SC MM to visit his family on Jul 6, 1780. Since this is the Pearson family that I know ends up in Bush River MM, I suspect that he is related to thisy. (C-2140) | Pearson, Samuel (I13373)

| 354 | 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 wasll 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 Coppack 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. This problem with knowing the date was that the Bishop transcripts give the date as January 6, 1666. Aaron's birth date varies according to several second hand 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 a Quaker obituary basically done over sixty years after his death and they could have easily 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 Archealogical 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 3 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. of 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 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 of Aaron's 1662 birth date listed in his obituary is within months of their daughter Rose. The 2nd theory is John, the son of William (brother to John and Margaret Deane Coppock). He was likely born in the 1630's. Nothing further is known on 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 is 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 Bry an, 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 it's 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 time line 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 40's 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 3 Aarons christened in all the parish records for the area... this Aaron in Jan. of 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 is from the closest kin column on Aaron's marriage certificate to Miriam Short. There are 2 names under the closest kin column. The first is his wife's sister, Ann and the 2nd is Lydia Carter. Lydia Carter by 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 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 2nd 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 was to a Mary in England. They had a son, Aaron, born at Mobberly, England that 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 Archealogical 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 23, 3 mo.,1701 from Pownall-fee Monthly Meeting of Friends in Cheshire, England. He traveled to Bristol England, probably in that year, to return on a boat to Pennsylvania. He married Miriam Short in either the Upper Chichester Meeting of Friends, Delaware Co., PA, the Nottingham Monthly Meeting, or the New Garden Monthly Meeting, all in Pennsylvania as 1704, 9mo 30th day. Their marriage is recorded in all three places. This is one of the histories based upon it being recorded in the Nottingham MM 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 Jospeh 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 info does not quite match the info 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 30's to 40's. In 1713, he, his wife, his brother-in-law, Joel Baily and his wife all sold land together. Aaron and family then moved to Nottingham Twp. on the border of Maryland. He was an Overseer, Elder and a 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 64-5". 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, 10 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 9 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, they often have data and detail errors based upon memories of persons that aren't necessarily his families'. 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 Keppock in ancient times, and what is now the region called Glenngarry. The Coppock's that come from this clan were specifically from Lochaber in this region according to their homepage at http://www.clan-donald-usa.org/septs.htm.

| 355 | Aaron was a Quaker minister. All of his children were born in Tennessee from 1798 to 1811. He was received into the New Hope MM, Greene Co., TN on Dec 31, 1796 from the Bush River MM in SC where he had grown up. On Jan. 3, 1818 they had and were received into the Newberry Monthly Meething in Blount Co., Tennesse. In Aaron's will written in Ohio, he named wife, Margaret, d. Elizabeth and other two daughters, son Aaron in Tenn. and grandson Aaron, sons Elijah, Abraham, and Josiah. His executors were Samuel Coate Jr. and son Josiah Coppock. His witnesses were Nicholas Tucker, Richard Thompson and William Coppock. (C-1017, 1546, 2247e) | Coppock, Aaron F. (I12773)

| 356 | 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 census (CL-435), Fountain Co., Indiana in the 1860 census. He had lived in Ohio by 1817 because his soc was born there between 1817 and 1818. He lives 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 brother or grandfather, William Tharp. (CL-425) He is living adjacent to possible father Joseph, brother William and son or nephew, Isaac in the 1830 Tippacanoe 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 be to an unknown son Abel. He is married to a Margaret in the 1860 Fountain Co., IN census. He is listed as Abel Thorp in his first marriage. (CL-425) There was an Abel Tharp and John McCay who bought a storeroom built by John Schultz in 1853 and coverted it into a saloon in Pulaski Co. After that it was converted into Medarysville's first school house by 1857-58! This could easily be our Abel Tharp. (CL-437) | Tharp, Abel (I13198)

| 357 | Abiather emigrated from Wales to Wrightsboro, Georgia. He 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 in Pike, Clark Co., Ohio by 1840 according to ceecords. It's possible that his parents were Griffith Davis and Elizabeth Coates of Wales and Pennsylvania. | Davis, Abiathar * (I6998)

| 358 | Abner Bunnel provided public service during the Revolutionary War and is in the DAR Records. (F-331) | Bunnell, Abner (I10611)
|
| 359 | 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 of 1821. There is also a Benjamin Coats often in those same records from Feb. 1822 through August 18t I suspect would be his son or brother if the death date I have for brother Benjamin of 1820 is incorrect. Other Coats that could be children of Abner and Margaret 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 was a son or nephew of this Abner from Chester Co. Pennsylvania. | Coates, Abner (I13483)
|
| 360 | Abner was in Capt. Andrew Price's Co. of Queen Annes Co. Militia in 1748/9. He lived in Mispillion Hundred, Kent Co., DE from 1752 to 1760 according to the tax ratabless. He was deeded land in 1759 by Ezekiel Meers. | Tharp, Abner (I91)
|
| 361 | About 1225 he was given land by Madloeun, the Earl of Lennox in Luss. The receiver of the land was named as the son of Gillemore. | Maldouen 1st Lord of Luss * (I16860)
|
| 362 | Abraham administered his father's estate in 1710. On Jun 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 namedm Griffith Jr., on Feb 13, 1713. The end of his life was spent on a farm south of there on 100 acres in Rockhill. (C-1875) | Griffith, Abraham (I14863)

| 364 | 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 (1 yr) with his father Jacob and mother Sarah and on the 1860 Census as 15 and is missing from the 1870 census. His wife and children, Elizabeth, William, then 3 and Ellen who is 1, are in the 1870 census living with or near her parents Samuel and Ellen Rusk in Addison Twp. Gallia, Ohio. In the 1880 census, William and Ellen are living with their grandfather Jacob in Raccoon Twp, Gallia Co., Ohio. Abraham likely is the one that 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 (I11031)
|
| 365 | 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 Winr 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 marries Hannah in Nottingham M.M., Maryland, Abraham's location is listed on the north side of Overton in the colony of Virginia. Abraham signed a petition in June of 1738-9 to request the clearing of a road in Orange Co., Virginia. (C-956) In his will dated Sept. 23, 1748 he bequests out 1232 acres of land, 1050 of which were on Opequon Creek near Winchester which was called "Abraham's Delight". He had obviously added to it's size over the years. (C-1546) | Hollingsworth, Abraham * (I14162)

| 366 | Abraham, at the young age of about 16, took official care of his youngest siblings, Ebenezer and Elizabeth, in the 1713 bond records of the Probate section of Guilford, CT vital records. (F-504) | Doude, Abraham (I14371)
|
| 367 | Abraham, 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 Planerts list for Guilford with the date of May 19, 1651 for his adn 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, than it is likely that her siblings could also be the offspring of an Elizabeth. (F-498, 509) | Cruttenden, Abraham (I12969)

| 368 | Absolam's named in spelled in a variety of ways in various first hand records, Absolom, Absalom or Absolam. Absolam Mast's families birth dates come from his bible. He was born in Randolph Co., NC at the Hury Court House according toreton in the 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. census records from 1830 to 1850. He built a lovely home still standing and well cared for in 2004 on State Route 48 on 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 be 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 living with Labin/Sabin? (age 63) and Rebecca Jenks (age 60) in the 1860 census at age 62 and lived in Milton Twp. (now the town of West Milton), Miami Co., Ohio. Their 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 from 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 (I10699)
|
| 369 | According to "Early Families of Pennsylvania", Abraham received a warrant for 150 acres of land in Philadelphia, PA in the same month as his father, Sep. 12, 1734. However, they also estimate his birth date as 1725 and his siblings birthhe 1720's to 30's. If his birth date is about 1725, it does not make sense that he is the Abraham who obtained land in Philadelphia in 1734. According to this same source, his children are Abraham, Elizabeth, Mary Angela, Gertraudt, Sabina, and Susanna born in the late 1740's through the 1750s. (C-2408) | Harp, Abraham (I14716)
|
| 370 | 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 fameing 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 it repeats amongst the generations surrounding Elizabeth.... In her siblings, Elizabeth, Mary and Ann are repeated, but the boys names all seem to vary. I can't tell where 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 to be able to check that. She is listed at age 58 in the 1880 census records for Jackson Co., Ohio. Her birthdate, place and death date came from a page inserted in the family bible as 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 * (I10859)

| 371 | 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 that would have needed to be tended to as well as his other children.

| 375 | 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.

| 378 | According to a fictionalized account, "Falls the Shadow", Eleanor was betrothed to William Marshall at a very young age for political and monetary reasons. As most all royal marriages occurred in this way, it was perfectly normal. Her me to William ended when she was only 15 at her husbands death. She was then convinced by a very close caretaker to take the oath of fidelity from the Pope. This gave her many of the vows of a nun. She never fit well into this as she was a very beautiful blond haired women who enjoyed the company of men. Though she religiously upheld her vows, she fell hopelessly in love with Simon de Monfert after reaching the age of adulthood. They married secretly with the forced assistance of her brother, King Henry. Simon then convinced the Pope with monetary gifts to rescind his wife's vow of Abstinence. This was to say a very scandalous set of circumstances. Simon de Montfert was well below Eleanor's social status to add to boot. This is a love conquers all theme in the novel "Falls the Shadow." | Of England, Eleanor (Nell) (I11562)

| 379 | According to a grandson (E.W. Yount) information on his mother-in-law, Jane Coppock Coate's death certificate, Joseph Coppock was born in South Carolina. His father bought land in Miami Co., OH in 1804, but he apparently did not bring hie and daughters north until 1807 as that is when they were received in Quaker church records. Joseph Coppock and family are in the 1850 Ohio census for Miami Co., Union Twp., Ohio on page 168. The data is as follows: Joseph Coppock, age 45, farmer, worth $2890.00, b. SC, wife Rachel, age 43, b. OH, children: Sampson, age 22, farmer; Mary A., age 17; Isaac, age 11; David, age 9; Isabell, age 9; Sarah, age 5. All children attended school including Sampson at 22. All were born in Ohio. (C-382) In the 1860 census his property and possessions are valued at $6,300.00. (C-70) This Joseph might have been the Joseph in the 1827, 1830, 1835 and 1840 Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio census records also. They need checked to verify this. There appears to have been at least two more Joseph's living at the time, one in Concord Twp., Miami Co. and one in Newton Twp., Miami Co., Ohio. (C-1025) According to "A Genealogical and Biographical Record of Miami County, Ohio" c1900, Joseph died suddenly in 1862 of a broken blood vessel. (E) | Coppock, Joseph * (I10881)

| 383 | According to an article in the Sunday "Oregonian", Hugh was a prominent Farmer and Doctor in California. A county that was formed from Colusa Co., California was named after him, "Glenn County". It still exists today. One of his dau, Ella married Peter French, cattle king of Malheur Co., Oregon who was also Dr. Hugh Glenn's partner. Dr. Glenn was particulary known for helping the down and out. His book keeper was one of these persons. He repaid Doctor Hugh Glenn by laying in wait with and gun and murdering him as he exited a building. He was captured for his crime. (CL-509) Hugh J. Glenn died intestate. On March 14, 1883 the administration of his estate was granted to E. S. Wilson, a brother-in-law of Dr. Glenn. These records indicate that he owned 58,000 acres of land in Colusa County and 60,000 acres in Oregon, another extensive ranch in Nevada and 40,00 head of cattle. His killer's name was Hurman Miller. On Oct. 21, 1883, he was found guilty of murder in the first degree with the imprisonment penalty. The following information was provided by Sharon Forkell in 2003: "Hugh J. Glenn married Nancy Abernathy, they had the following children:1.William B. b. 8/1850 d. unknown, but only listed in 1850 census record. Died before 1883.2.

| 385 | According to an unrelated Tobin, most Tobins came from County Kilkenney or just west of there in Ireland. (CL-329) Before Ireland, the name came from D'Aubyn. Another Tobin was told that her ancestors were from County Cork, Ireland and mave originally been from Scotland. (CL-352) A distant cousin, S. McNeely sent a listing of multiple Tobins living in Dublin, Ireland from 1731-1794. (CL-546) There is a possibility that James was born in Somerset, Pennsylvania instead according a family tree on Ancestry.com. His death is verified by an application for Probate. He died intestate in Hunterdon Co., New Jersey. A bond was put up by William Allen of Amwell and Richard Reading. William Allen was named Administator. His sons were all too young to be bondsman. The will of James Tobin of Loudoun Co., Va., recorded 9 May, 1774, names his wife, Esther, sons George, Thomas, Joseph and Robert, and his daughters, Sarah Masterson, and Mary, Lydia, Ruth, Naomy and Rosanna Tobin. It does not name Nathaniel and Isaac so we are going to need to verify Isaac through land or DNA records as his son. If Esther married James when she was 16 and he was 19, that would be in 1741. If all of the children I have listed for James and Esther are correct, they would have been born 18 years maximum and had 12 children in that amount of time. A Nathaniel Toby and an Isaac Toby are listed in the Hunterdon Co. New Jersey Tax Ratables in 1778 and 1789. Nathaniel is listed in 1778 as owning a small lot, 2 horned cattle and 1 hog. In 1780 he did not still own the hog. Isaac's holdings are listed on his family group sheet. These ratables were taken from Amwell Twp., Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The only other Tobin listed in Hunterdon Co. was a Thomas Tobin from Lebanon Twp. He seemed to be very well to do with 336 acres, 12 horses, 27 horned cattle and 22 hogs in 1778. (CL-197) There is Tobey family in Sandwich, Massachusetts named Nathan Tobey who was having children. A Joseph in 1728 is another less likely but possible father of this James. Nathan left a will on 1787 in Sandwich, MA that should be located and checked. (N.E.H.G.R., Apr. 1959) There is a James Tobin who was a convict who was pressed into the service in 1755 in the Maryland Archives Records whose relationship is not yet known either. | Toben, James Tobin * (I7131)

| 389 | According to Chalkley, in 1769, James Young, age 14, the orphan of James Young, selected John Young as his guardian. John Young was probably the son of Hugh Young. The sureties on John Young's bond were neighbors from the Back Creek areae Beverley Patent. It is likely that this orphan was the son of James Young Jr. who inherited the land on Back Creek from his father James C. Young. In that time frame in Virginia according to Attorney Janice McAlpine, a male's land automatically went to his oldest son upon his death. It is useful to note that this James Aunt Isabelle (widow of Patrick Young) moved with her children and second husband, a Mr. Summers to Fayette Co., Kentucky about 1779. It seems possible that James III could have moved with them. What we do know from Chaulkley though is that he inherited his father's land. The date the land transferred to James Young III is not given:Chalkley's VIII, page 283, Deed Book 2, Page 645. | Young, James (I12789)

| 393 | According to cousin James Forte, the Forte's came from Normandy, France originally. There are two Forte brothers that assisted William the Conqueror and were given titles and land in England for their services. The Forte family had settled in Somersetshire, England during the 16th and 17th centuries. Samuel Forte came to Barbados in 1680 from the Somersetshire family according to Burkes Landed Gentry. However, he is likely the Samuel Forte who was a witness to George Foster's will on Nov. 23, 1670, in St. John's Parish, Barbados. Another of the witnesses was Edmund Haynes. Samuel later owned land that became known as Haynes Hill Plantation in St. John's Parish. He was supposedly exiled from England, obviously with some portable wealth in tack. James Forte, a cousin, states that the Fortes lost their property, title, and the "scue" on the end of their name when siding with the Royalists against Cromwell. The name was originally Fortibus according to the "General Armory". It states the Forte's from Somerset were originally from the name de Fortibus. The coat of arms for the Fortes in Somerset also comes from Fortibus. This could have occurred when Samuel was a child as Cromwell came into power about 1651. It would have been his unproven father who lost his title and lands. Thus when Samuel was in his 20's to 30's he would have immigrated to Barbados to make his way in the world. (F-469) Samuel came to own what was later owned by a Mr. Haynes and named Haynes Hill Plantation in Barbados. He and Thomas Estwick are listed as beneficiaries of Mary Combs Adamson's will in 1689 in St. John's Parish. He is in a position in the transcription where it is difficult to tell if he is a friend of the family or a brother-in-law. He was a friend and executor for John Pearnell's will dated 1691 on an island called Hothersall's Poole. He is named as a friend of Augustin Dry's will dated May 1692 in St. John's Parish. The will names his 2 oldest daughters of Samuel Forte Senior. Thomasin was named in the will and was only 12 at the time. Augustin's will transcription then names the following persons as executors: Frances (age 20 if it's Samuel's daughter), Ursula (wife of Samuel Forte Sr.), Mrs. Ula Forte (likely wife of Codrington), a Mary Franck, and Codrington Forte as executors. Here are possible theories about the relationships in this will. As far as we know, all Forte's in Barbados descend from this Dr. Samuel Forte, Esquire, making it likely that Codrington is his son named after the very wealthy Codrington family of Barbados who were Sugar Barons. If Mrs. Ula is the wife of Codrington, she might be the daughter of Arlington. Since Samuel is about 43 at the time and Arlington is about 40 this would suggest that Ula was a young married woman. Codrington could be Augustin's son-in-law. That would mean that his friend Samuel Forte's 20-year-old daughter and wife was named Executor along with Codrington and his wife. They would have been family to Codrington. The name Codrington is the same as the Honorable Christopher Codrington that Samuel names in his will as having given his third wife, Elizabeth Estwick, a silver plate since they (Samuel and she) had been married. Perhaps that is how they met as Samuel appears to have given a son the name Codrington after someone he admired previous to his marriage to Elizabeth Estwick. Augustin's young married daughter might have requested to have her mother-in-law and sister-in-law's help along with her husband. Samuel's daughter Thomasin who was only about 12 at the time was also named in Augustin's will. He certainly was close to Samuel as a friend. I can't find a family relationship through Samuel's first wife who was Mary Culpepper explaining why his daughters were named in the will. The most likely scenario is that the Fortes were Augustin's daughters-in-laws and friends of the family to Augustin. That would suggest that Codrington was a son of Samuel who died before Samuel wrote his will. He is named in his son-in-law, William Collymer's will in 1705. In Samuel's own will dated Oct. 16, 1711, in St. John's Parish, he bequeaths his wife the silverplate that she had been given by the Honorable Christopher Codrington after he had married Elizabeth Estwick. He give money to his grandchildren due him from the estate of William Collymore. (F-164) He and the members of his family were buried in a tomb on his plantation. (F-24) Note the name Codrington appearing as a Codrington Forte in this family. It was Christopher Codrington III who lived till 1610 that Samuel is likely referring to in his will. A Sarah Codrington in her will names her kinswoman, Jane. In his will, he stipulated that the tomb should always be available for whoever wished to visit. When my past husband and I visited Barbados in Apr. of 1990, we were able to visit Haynes Hill House and see the tomb - plaque and all. The current owner of the House, Jean Porter, stated that the small plot of land surrounding the tomb does not belong to anyone. It was bought by an English descendant in the 1900's and left as a preserved space which he had planned to grow hedgerows to honor his ancestors. That never occurred. The house that is now standing on Haynes Hill is not the house that Samuel originally lived in. It was blown down in the 1831 hurricane and the one that now stands was built then. This house is, according to Jean Porter, haunted. The ghost walks around at night in what sounds like heavy men's work boots and is harmless. The Coat of Arms for the Forte family is a shield with a Rooster and 3 red mallets as symbols. The motto is Forte Scutum Salas Ducum. Forte means strong. Scutum in ancient Rome was a leather shield, Salus means health, and Ducum means of or relating to Dukedom. (F-465) Although the parentage of this Samuel Forte is unknown, I have two working theories as to his parentage based on baptismal, marriage, and burial records for all towns in Somersetshire having records in the 1600s. The information was supplied by James Forte of Ontario and was researched professionally in 1977-78. Upon sorting it, it is possible Samuel's parents were Thomas and Thomasine Forte of South Petherton or Samuel of St. Mary Magdalen Parish in Taunton, Somerset, England. The first theory that he is the son of Thomas and Thomasine is based on the following pattern. They had a daughter, Thomasine in April of 1663. Baptismal records from that town were missing for seven years from 1653 to 1660, the likely time period of birth for our Samuel Forte. Thomasine, his possible mother, is the name that clued me in. Samuel has a daughter named Thomasin, which is rather unusual. Secondly, his son Samuel only has one male and female name unaccounted for from his wife's or his side, and that is Thomas and Thomasin. I believe it is likely that he named them after his parents. This theory needs further verification in lawsuit or deed records. The second theory is that he is the son of Samuel Forte of St. Mary Magdelen in Taunton, Somerset, England. Only one child, Thomas, has been recorded as the son of this Samuel. Thomas was christened on Nov. 18, 1650. Thomas's spelling of his surname is interpreted as Forde by freereg.org.uk. This Samuel still could be the father of our Samuel as he has the correct name and right age. He is also the only Samuel that has been found in the records of Somerset Co., England. Possible children of this Samuel Sr. whose fathers are unreadable by FreeReg translators were George, Joan, Hannah, John, and Elizabeth, none of which are names carried down by Samuel. The records again are not conclusive, as the microfilm is nearly unreadable. The original records from St. Mary Magdelen were still privately held when a professional researcher last tried to check them. There are two other mysteries about this Forte family. When we were in Barbados and saw Haynes House in the early 1990's, we also got to view the family crypt. The plaque on the exterior indicated that it contained the remains of Samuel and Ursula Forte and family. This plaque according to a manuscript by Ralph Greenidge who was raised at Haynes House in the early 1900's was not the original. The plaque had been replaced twice since the original carvings on the coral walls of the crypt. When he was there, it stated that it also contained the remains of Mary Culpepper (who would have been the mother of the 3 daughters of the original Samuel Forte.) This was verified by a family friend whose friend stole the nameplate off of Mary Culpepper's coffin sometime in the 1900's. Therefore, Samuel had 3 wives in his life that we know about. It is entirely possible that Mary Culpepper died in childbirth in 1685 at which point Samuel married Ursula. In that case, Samuel would also be the son of Mary Culpepper. That actually sounds probable to me and is my current theory. Lastly, there is a Samuel Forte, Mariner, from Wapping, Middlesex, England who wrote a will when he was outward bound to sea on February 25, 1675/1676. The will proved on July 29, 1680, gives his estate to his friend Andrew Davison of Wapping. Because the date of probate is the same year as my children's ancestor Samuel entering Barbados, a connection to this Samuel needs to be studied. Instead of a will, was this possibly a settlement of his estate in England when he decided to move to Barbados for good? | Forte, Dr. Samuel (I15228)

| 394 | According to David Glenn, the surname is Scottish and is related to the MacIntosh clan. Our Glenn's supposedly were Scottish borderlanders who moved from Scotland to (Co. Ulster?) Ireland and then to Virginia in the 18th century. (CL-345e second hand sources suggest that the Glenns first settled in Chester Co., PA between 1735 and 1740 (where Glennville is named after them) before moving to near Staunton, Augusta Co., VA in the 1740's to early 1750's where he lived on Naked Creek. Naked Creek is a stream located at 381816N Latitude and 0785452W Longtitude according to the USGS Mapping Service. (CL-413, 413d, 731) According to "Augusta Co, VA Heritage Book", he emigrated in 1742 with his friend Dr. Robert Curry along with other Glenns, Youngs (specifically his friend, Dr. Robert A. Young), Blacks and Blairs. In this account they landed in Philadelphia, PA and then traveled south settling on the lovely lands near Staunton on Naked Creek in Virginia. His large brick home was still standing in 2015 in Mt. Sydney, Virginia. The first evidence of any Glenn in Chalkley's records of Augusta Co., VA doesn't occur till 1754 when a James Glenn died there naming children William, James, John and Mary. As for George Glenn, once a year, these Scotch Irish settlers would meet at his home to compete amongst themselves in a variety of sports and contests. These included weight lifting, running, jumping, boxing, wrestling, fencing, and sword danci ng. He called his hill and hollow "Glenn Cose" after Scotland's "Glencoc". Part of the house that he built around 1750 was is still standing at Glen Cose. (CL-391, 676) George Glenn was a private in the Revolutionary War, in Capt. Reuben Harrison's Co., Augusta, Virginia and Capt. Anderson's Co., Augusta, VA. He is listed in the DAR Patriot Index, Vol. I, pg. 271 as a private. (CL-171) (CL-259) His birthdate is truly not known. It is listed anywhere from 1715-1740. The earlier dates are unlikely since he was a private in the American Revolution and lived to 1815. I'm using the 1740 birthdate given on his Revolutionary War records. The 1740 birthdate would also better match his children's birthdates listed in the family bible of Hugh Glenn. (CL-185) George Glenn is listed in the 1782 Taxpayers Lists for Virginia. He is the only Glenn listed in Augusta Co., VA and he owned no slaves according to this record. (CL-173) George Glenn does not appear in the 1790 census records for Virginia, but I have been unable to locate any census records for the supposed county of his residence, Augusta Co. They appear to have burned. (CL-172). (CL-185) He purchased 18 acres of land on Apr 7, 1796 on the waters of Naked Creek which lay between his current land and that of Robert Young's land. It also bordered on Peter Tetree's land. This is land that was very near where his wife's father's land was. Since the purchase of his original land is not in the records, it is possible his wife and inherited some land from her father. http://lva1.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/F/SYN8RBNYTXI23K6T2K3XB77J8PXDENKLATYSJIXXCXRAI1DF58-41373?func=full-set-set&set_number=007425&set_entry=000001&format=999 He is in the court records according to Chalkley: Aug 1796, William, Samuel, James Anderson and George Glenn (defendants) vs. William Young (orator).--Writ. Chancery, 27th September, 1793. William and Samuel were brothers. Petition by William Young, 1792, states that some years ago he employed George Nicholas to commence and prosecute this cause, that on removal of George (to Kentucky) from this county the case was entrusted to John Nicholas, who drew and filed the bill, shortly after which John also declined practicing in this court, and left his business to Robert Jouett, Esq., Attorney, who has also declined practicing in this court. Witness is aged and infirm. Petition for rehearing. Ellinor Young, wife of William Young, orator, 1st November, 1793. Samuel Anderson and George Glenn returned no inhabitants, 25th August, 1790. Samuel Anderson's deposition 15th February, 1791, before Benjamin Harrison, a Justice of Bourbon County. Pennsylvania executed on Samuel Anderson, 30th August, 1787. It appears that George returned to Augusta Co., Virginia. George Glenn's Will was in Augusta Co., Will Book No. XI, pg. 458, : "In the name of God Amen, this 22nd day of December 1801, I George Glenn of Augusta County and State of Virginia, being in my ordinary health and sences do think it necessary at this time to make this my last Will and Testament first I recommend my soul into the hands of Almighty God through the merits of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ when he will be pleased to remove me and my Body I recommend to the Earth to be decently Buried at the discretion of my Executors herein after named, and all my worldly Estate both real and personal, I give bequeth and dispose of the same in the following manner. First I give and bequeath unto my beloved son Hugh Glen all my Estate in Land together with all my Horses, Cattle, Sheep and hogs, all my household Goods farming utencils and moveable property of every kind to him his heirs and assigns forever with this incumberance only that he will pay the following legacies two years after my decease - I give and bequeath unto my son James Glen his heirs or assigns the sum of five pounds I also give and bequeath unto my son William Glen his heirs or assigns the sum of six pounds - I give and bequeath unto my son in law Wert Miller and my Daughter Nancy the sum of five pounds - I give and bequeath unto my son in law Robert Young, and my Daughter Sarah the sum of five pounds - I give and bequeath unto my son in law Samuel Curry and my Daughter Mary the sum of five pounds - I give and bequeath unto my son in law John Mead five shillings - I also nominate and appoint my son Hugh Glen and no other to be the only Executor to this my last Will and testament and I renounce all other Will or Wills made by any time heretofore and rectifies this and no other to be my last Will and Testament under my hand and seal the date above. Signed, Sealed, published and pronounced in the Presence of John Anderson, Jas Anderson, Geo. Anderson. Signed: George Glenn Probated 11 March, 1815; commission as Justices of Augusta County to take deposition of George Anderson, an aged and infirm witness, returned executed 14th March 1815. Proved 14th March, 1815 (George Anderson is dead since above deposition; James and John Anderson are also dead). Executor qualifies." His will supposedly does not list his children in their birth order. DAR records state that George actually died in 1801 and that it took this long for Hugh Glenn to have his father's estate administered. In any case, what we know is that George died between Dec. of 1801 and Mar. of 1815. He and his wife are buried in the old stone cemetery of the Augusta Stone Presbyterian Church at Fort Defiance. Their daughter Mary, his wife's father, James Young and his friend Dr. Robert Curry are buried there. An excellent article at https://familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/12482240 based upon personal knowledge of George's great grandson, Robert Addison Glenn gives this account of George. "GEORGE GLENN was born about 1720 in the northern part of Ireland near Londonderry. He was Scotch-Irish Presbyterian. When he was about fifteen years of age he married in Ireland, a Miss Young, also a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian. Shortly after their marriage he and his bride immigrated to America with a party of other Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, among whom was Dr. Robert Curry and his bride Ann Curry, and others. This emigrant party first came into Pennsylvania about 1745, but immediately afterwards came south with the tide of Scotch-Irish emigrants who were then settling in the great Valley of Virginia. George Glenn patented and settled on what is known as the David Hunter, Sr. farm on the headwaters of Middle Branch of Naked Creek, Augusta County, Virginia, and built the old residence now standing on the farm. By his said wife George Glenn had seven children, three sons and four daughters, viz.: Sarah, Nancy, Margaret, William, James, Hugh, Mary." My great Aunts wondered if this line of Glenns might be related to the American Astronaut, John Glenn. In John Glenn's ancestry from Coleraine, Ireland to here, I have not found a connection.

| 395 | According to DJ Rowe, "Wright's wife, Mary Gaunt, remarried after his death and moved to Tuscaloosa Co., AL and then to TN. " Her second marriage is implied in an 1811/1812 deed where the freed slave of Big John Coate named Jesse Coate isasing land in a trust fund kind of fashion that must have been required at the time for an ex-slave in Newberry Co., South Carolina. Her second husband, Thomas Gilbert was married to her sister previous to their marriage. (C-2189E) | Gaunt, Mary (I12772)

| 396 | According to Evan's census records, he was born abt. 1795 or 1796. The 1841 census was taken mid June, meaning that he could have been born anywhere from mid June 1795-mid June 1796. Here are the baptismal records that could apply to him in Freereg.org.uk. Evan EVANS Baptism 19 Sep 1795 Cardiganshire Llanddewibrefi : St David : Parish Register son of Daniel View 19 Evan EVANS Baptism 04 Mar 1796 Cardiganshire Aberystwyth : St Michael : Parish Register son of Evan and Mary View 20 Evan EVANS Baptism 12 Sep 1796 Cardiganshire Llanbadarn Trefeglwys : St Padarn : Bishop's Transcript son of Thomas and Mary. In the 1851 census, he is listed at age 56. This census was taken on Mar. 30, 1851. These two facts together suggest he was born between mid June 1795 - Jan 1796 because of the following. In this time period, a study in England has said that 75% of children born then were baptized within 68 days of birth suggesting again that the last choice is not correct. In the first half of the 18th century, parents were getting their children baptized in a week. It had changed a great deal by the 1790's. (https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Birth-Baptism_Intervals_for_Family_Historians) I theorize that he was the one born in Aberystwyth after sorting the parents and their possible children in the first two choices. | Evans, Evan (I16051)

| 397 | According to family, he was born on the 12th of Feb. but according to the Public Records Index, he was born on Feb. 1st. He lived at 8720 Wattsburg Rd City: Erie County: Erie State: Pennsylvania Zip Code: 16509 in this index. He livh a John F. and Virginia Giewont. This is probably his son and possibly wife or daughter-in-law. If she is the Virginia who died on Dec. 6, 2001 she was born on Oct. 11, 1908 and could be his wife or even Mother-in-law as she was 10 years older than John. | Giewont, John V. (I15591)

| 400 | According to Harry Wright Newman in "Mareen Duvall of Middle Plantation", it is not certain that Mary is Mareen's wife, but the following will of Thomas Bouth suggests it. In his will in 1672 it states he died without issue (without chi. He does however, bequeath to Mary Dewall (Devall) the first calf of his cow and "one sow shoot." In an I.G.I. file which we have no substantiation for, this Mary Bouth is listed as the wife of Mareen Duvall. Mareen's birth is given as 1630 in Nantes, , Bretagne Province, France. Her parents are not given but her dates are b. 1634 in Normandie Province, France and died abt 1670. | Bouth, Mary (I6460)
