• Notes

  Ann appears to have moved to Salem MM from Upper Springfield MM on a certificate dated the 4mo 26th day 1845. She went from Upper Springfield MM to Salem MM on 4/25/1845. She then moved with her children, Levi, and Maria to Salem MM, IA21/1850. She went to New Garden MM on 4/27/1860. She was disowned on 1/24/1863 from the Upper Springfield MM in Iowa, a few years after 2 of her sons participated in John Brown's raid. She had married again before they joined the movement. (C-95) Ann is listed as a woman of intelligence, and a strong abolitionist. It is likely her influence that had her eldest sons, Edwin and Barclay join John Brown's raid of Harper's Ferry. After her sons received word that John Brown wanted them to join him, she is quoted as saying, "I believe you are going with old Brown. When you get the halters around your necks, will you think of me?" Though she believed in the cause, she strongly apposed them joining the fight. (C-744) She lost each of her children one by one, three of them died under age 25 from disease. Two of her sons died in the cause of fighting slavery. Only one remaining child who made it to adulthood, Joseph L. Coppoc, left a large family to carry on the name. He enlisted in the Union Army and rose to the rank of major. He was for many years a minister in the Baptist Church. His contribution to the Midland monthly of September, 1895, entitled "John Brown and His Cause" is a spirited defense and eulogy of Brown. He died at Chambers, Nebraska, in 1914. (C-2246)
