Notes:

This Bartholomew has a birth date of Oct. 1, 1681 in Elizabeth Harris' E-mail letter dated 9/8/95. (C-613) According to a second descendant, Rodger Smith, Bartholomew and Jacob Jonathan were twins. He was given the family bible and the journal of George Fox, the famous Quaker leader, in his father's will. Bartholomew owned land adjacent to his father's land in Springfield, Chester Co., PA in a deed dated Oct 13, 1709. (C-2136)

He and his wife Phebe deeded 373 acres to Henry Lewis in Marple, Chester Co., PA on Dec 26, 1711. This land formally belonged to Jonathan Taylor, deceased, which might give a clue to a possible first marriage for Phebe as her known name included Taylor. (C-2139)

He is supposedly listed in "Smith's Atlas of Early Grants" which shows his residence as Marple, Chester Co, PA in 1715. He is also listed "of Marple Twp." when his daughter Rebecca marries in 1744. He witnessed a will of William West of Springfield in Chester Co., PA in Feb of 1720. (C-2150)

I have a very illegible copy of his own will written in 1761 which I will try to transcribe herein: " I Bartholomew Coppck of ( ) in the County of Chester and Province of Pennsylvania being weak of Body But of Sound mind and memory thanks be to almighty God for Same Do make this my Last will and testament in manner following First my will and (desirs) that all my just Debts and funerall expenses be paid by Executors hereafter named as soon as May be after my (Descese) ( ) I Give and bequeath to my Son (in Law Seth Pencoast) all that my Plantation and being in (Marple ) Containing one hundred and Eighty (Acres) (be same) more or less to him & his heirs and assigns forever He ( ) to be paid one hundred and Sixty pounds Lawfull money within ( ) years after my Decease to be Divided in manner following that is fifty pounds to my Daughter Rebecca Fell to be paid to my daughter Sarah ( ) forty pounds to my Daughter Margret Camm and ( ) Son Bartholomew Coppock I give to my Son Moses Coppock the Sum of Five Shillings I give and bequest to my Daughter Rebecca Fell one Feather Bed and Furniture one Silver ( ) and Francis Howgill's Journal Item I Give my Daughter Margret Camm Thomoas Chalkley's Journal Item I Give my Daughter Esther Pencoast my Best Feather Bed & Furniture one ( ) ( ) George Fox's Journal and my ( ) that all my (Pewter) ( ) Daughter Rebecca Sarah and Esther also my Wearing apparrel (to) Equally Divided Between my three Son in Laws William Fell Daniel Sharples and Seth Pencoast and as for the rest and residue of my Estate I Give to my Daughter Esther Pencoast to her her heirs and afsigns Item I Do appoint my three Sons in Laws William Fell Daniel Sharples and Seth Pencoast (Executors) of this my Last Will and Testament Revoking all other wills heretofore by one made in witnefs whereof I have here ( ) Set my hand and Seal this Ninth Day of the Second month one thousand Seven hundred and Sixty one 1761 Signed Sealed Published and Declared by the Said Bartholomew Coppock and for his Last Will and Testament in the presence of (Nathan Hall) (J.

Notes:

Margaret is sometimes listed as dying in 1728, but she was listed in her fathers will of 1761 as the wife of a Mr. Camm. She received 40 lbs. in his will. (C-1304d, 2149)

Margaret married Henry CAMM on 4mo 5 1728 in Springfield M.M., Chester, PA, USA. Henry died in 1758. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There are some sources from the early 1900's that state that Moses and Martha came to America from England. (C-356, 1519f) This has been shown to simply be a misinterpretation of the truth, as the Coppocks had been in America from England originally since the 1680's. (C-710) It should be noted that all of the early 1900 records of many separate family members who submitted information to A.E.Krell, several of them state that they were descended from Moses and Martha Scarr Coppock. Martha Lester was the supposed widow of a Mr. Scarr before she married Moses. (C-683)

The marriage record for Moses Coppock and Martha Lester in NJ Colonial Records, doesn't support this, as she is simply listed as Martha Lester. Moses is listed as Moses in his father's will, but is listed as Moses William or William Moses in many family lineages of him. This is a confusion with a Moses William Coppock who was a likely nephew of this Moses (son of his brother, Bartholomew?). (C-1304d, 1348)

His birth is recorded at Chester Monthly Meeting, PA on 2d 5m 1708. He was willed 338 acres in Marlborough, Chester Co., PA in his grandfather, Bartholomew Sr.'s will in 1718 while still a youth. On Jan 26/27, 1729, he deeded 140 acres of this away to Francis Widlo of Marlborough when he had attained a majority in years. On Aug. 4, 1730, he sold 198 acres or the rest of the property he had been given by his grandfather, to Henry Camm, stocking weaver. Moses is listed as a yeoman of Marlborough in both of these deeds. A yeoman was the title for a farmer who owns his own land. I did not find him purchasing other land in Chester Co., PA in the abstracts through 1745. When he marries in 1740 in NJ, he is listed as "of Richalan, Bucks Co., PA". He is not however, listed in any land records for Bucks Co., Pennsylvania He was listed as a cordwainer by profession in Bucks Co., PA in the licenses in Trenton, NJ. (C-2137, 2221)

In the NC Colonial Records, a Moses was enlisted in the Cherokee (French and Indian) Wars in Andrew Hampton's Co., under Col. Wm. Eaton of Granville Co., N.C. This record was dated 10/8/1754. This war service might apply to this Moses who would have been aged about 46 or his nephew, Moses William who would have been about age 18 at the time. Whoever the Moses is that is listed in Granville Co. Muster Rolls in 1754, is listed in the tax records for Granville Co., NC in 1755 with 1 white person in his household. This probably meant 1 white male over the age of 16. Females and children in the household typically weren't counted in these tax records. The next tax record to be taken in Granville wasn't till 1769 and no Coppocks were listed there at that time. I personally believe that this tax record supports the fact that the Coppock in Granville Co., NC in 1754 and 1755 was our Moses because as a general rule, the age to own land and thus be taxed at the time was commonly age 21. In all probability this rules out the 18 or 19 year old Moses William Coppock. Moses was still living in Granville, NC in May of 1763 when he signed his named Moses Coppack to a petition to repeal an extra tax on Mulato's and free negroes. It was presented to the North Carolina Council at that time. Again, however, the deed records give no further clues as there are no Coppocks involved in buying or selling land in Granville Co., NC in this time frame.

The events that do place him in Granville from 1754 to 1763 disproves the statement in the "History of Coates and Coppock Families", that Moses settled in Newberry Co., SC in Feb. 1758 where his son James was born shortly thereafter. No proof has been found at this point that Moses ever lived in South Carolina. (C-1304c.2, 1519f, 2221, 2245)

There is contradictory information available about Moses's death. Many sources state that he was killed by Indians and this occurred in 1754 or 1760. His approximated death date is now sometime between May 1763 and Dec. 1767 when his wife only is listed as she petitions the Newberry, SC council for 300 acres of land on Bush River. (Note that it is the same day that son-in-law Marmaduke petitions for land). She is also listed as a widow when she actually finalizes the land deal of 300 acres in 1771 in what is then called Berkeley Co, South Carolina. Since her husband would have been the purchaser of the land in 1767 if he had been living, it can be assumed that he was dead by the Dec. 1767 date. According to letters from Mary Helen Pemberton in 1982, he was killed by Indians near White Lick Meeting house. White Lick reported to the Bush River Monthly Meeting so this still needs verified. (C-253b, 2221, 2289, 2245, 2289, E)

Moses married Martha LESTER on 22 Sep 1740 in , , NJ, USA. Martha (daughter of Peter LESTER, daughter of Peter LESTER and Joyce UNKNOWN) was born before 1721 in , Bucks, Pennsylvania, USA; died about Feb 1797 in , Newberry, SC, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Roberta Keller's theory is that this Bartholomew is the Coppock who is the father of her Moses William Coppock (1736-aft 1768). He is the only Coppock whose children aren't known who is the correct age to be his father. The names of Moses William's children align fairly well with this family also. It is also conjecture on Roberta Keller's part that Bart is the son of Bart Sr.'s first wife, Rebecca Minshall. I tend to believe he was Phebe's son instead and born after brother Moses. I feel this way because brother Moses was the grandson who was listed in their grandfather, Bart's will. First grandson's are often listed in wills, suggesting that Moses is older than Bartholomew.

There was a marriage for a Bartholomew Coppock and Amy Cox in the 1730's of Wellingborough, Burlington Co., NJ that we were hoping applied to this Bartholomew. When Roberta Keller obtained the certificates for this couple she discovered that it didn't. Amy Coppock, widow of Bartholomew is administering his estate in 1836... years before the Bartholomew dies who is the son of Moses William Coppock.
