Family/Spouse: Peter BRITTON. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

His birth place is also listed as Saltney, Flintshire, Wales in some second hand sources. In the World Family Tree at ancestry.com, Don Coffin gives his death date as 20 Dec. 1718 in Springfield, Delaware Co., Pennsylvania Jonathan arrived in Philadelphia on a Quaker certificate dated Oct. 27, 1708 to marry Jane Owen. He was received from Chester MM, PA on 28th 11 mo. 1708. Jonathan had daughters, Sarah, Rachel and Hannah , born in what is now Delaware Co., PA before his death. Hannah was the youngest, born in 1716. (C-720, 1235, 2150)

Family/Spouse: Sarah UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Jacob married Jane OWEN in 3rd da 1st mo 1709 in Philadelphia M.M., Philadelphia, PA. Jane (daughter of Dr. Griffith OWEN and Sarah UNKNOWN) was born on 29 Mar 1689 in Radnor, Chester, PA; died after 16 Nov 1720. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

Notes:

Rebecca after she was married witnessed her sister, Marther Coppock Tomlinson's Quaker marriage in 1771. Rebecca is the Rebecka Evans living next to Gentleman John (John Sr.) Coates in the 1790 Newberry, SC index. She had 2 males above age 16, 1 male under age 16 and 4 females in her family. Her husband was obviously deceased as she was listed as the head of household. I know this to be her, because her husband, Robert Evan's land, adjoined Gentleman John's land in 1771. She is the only Rebeckah Evans listed in the 1790 census in that region. (C-1906)

Rebecca married Robert EVANS in 1761. Robert was born about 1744; died on 4 Mar 1784 in , Newberry, SC, USA; was buried in Bush River Quaker Burial Ground, Newberry, SC. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mary's birth date is the first detail in question about her. By all accounts she was born between the years of 1743 and 1748, with 1744 being the most often given date. The accounts typically revolve around her supposed age at the time of her capture by Indians and none are based on first hand records at the time. Mary's name is usually stated as Mary Jane Coppock. Quakers did not typically give their children middle names in this time period, but the name Mary Jane was actually considered one name together at the time. Sarah Ann was another popular combination at the time predating middle names. Tradition states Mary Jane Coppock was captured by the Indians as a child and was supposedly rescued and purchased back by her childhood friend, and future husband, Marmaduke Coate in 1763 or 1764. The following are a sampling of the accounts about Mary's capture in the records. Each of them has errors and conflicts when it comes to ages and dates, but the general tradition is the same. Note that multiple accounts state that her mother was killed in the raid, but this has been proven to be untrue.

According to a history of Newton Twp., Mary was captured at age 7 and kept in captivity for about five years. Before she escaped she had become familiar with their language and customs which was an aid to other settlers during Indian hostilities. Her length of stay and age of capture vary in almost every source on the subject with the amount of her capture being anywhere from 5 to 10 years, with the 10 year period being a bit more common. One source says that she and her sister were captured by the Cherokee Indians with John Roos being the half breed chief of the tribe. Her sister, "Paleface Koppock", or Martha, ended up marrying John Roos. Mary herself was supposedly called Paleface Nowanee/Nooanee. (C-1519f, 2221)

One of the more detailed accounts passed down in the family was located by Annie Natalelli-Waloszek in 1969 as a typewritten copy of a letter at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1300 Locust St in Philadelphia. This sounds like it was one of the letters in the 1917-20's file claiming descendancy from Marmaduke and Mary Coppock Coate to prove inheritance in the Coate Coppock land deal. "Yours received in due time but we saw in the Messenger that your father had gone. Was sorry, my father passed away over the 24th of February age 85, 2 mo, 14days. I have lived to see my Aunt (Handwritten: she lives here in Oregon) she is nearly three years older than father, she will be 89 the 9th of August. She is strong for her age, and has a good memory. She tells us things that father and mother used to tell us when we were little, about the Indians capturing James Coppock family and two sisters. There were two sisters they did not get. James he kept out of there reach and escaped to a white settlement. The sisters names were Mary and Martha. The Martha was the baby and only six weeks old and Mary was about six years old. She was sitting in the bed of a cradle rocking the baby, when the Indians came in and killed the mother and took the girls. They kept them and raised them, Now this was the Mary that married the Coate, his name was Marmaduke Coate. He bought this girl from the Indians when she was 22 years old, he traded them a fine horse and new bridle and saddle for her. Then they had to run for there lives. He was afraid they would kill him and take the girl again. It took five days to reach his home. He built fires at night to deceive them, then they would go 2 or 3 miles away and cover themselves with leaves and bushes to sleep until morning. But little Martha she married an Indian. The Mary and the Che (Cheyenne?) Coates came across her among a tribe of Indians and her sister knew her. They persuaded her to go home with them then, but she wouldn't stay. She went back to her Indian husband. Now this Mary was my great great Grandmother that married the Marmaduke Coate, they had eleven children. My grandfathers name was Moses Coate, Who also married a Coppock. The first Moses Coate had a brother by the name of John and This was my great great grandfather. He was born about 1715. My aunt tells me they all came from England and settled in S. Carolina. Then they all came to Ohio about 1806. The Marmaduke Coate and his wife Mary lived to be old, she lived to be 93 years old and he lived to be 96. Now the Ancestors on, as they came down on my Grandmothers side, First John, 2nd Joseph, Calvin, James, Elizabeth Coppock. Now Elizabeth was My Great Great Grandmother. And now on the Coate side, first Marmaduke who married Mary Coppock sister of James Coppock. The Moses my great grandfather and the Moses my Father. I have papers, leases, of everything back to sixteenth century. Rachel"

For years now, Coates have hunted for the exact raid in which Mary and Martha were taken. Dr. David Ramsey as relayed by Percy Pemberton Brown in Park's 1960 version of "The Ancestors and Descendants of Marmaduke Coate of South Carolina and Ohio" believed the following raid could apply to her. It was from Percy's notes taken from "The History of South Carolina." "This history was first published in 1809. It was the work of Dr. David Ramsay, a physician of Charleston, S.C. and a native of that city. ...In 1754 there was a massacre of Cuttery of Buffalo Creek, near where it enters Broad River, in the north-west corner of York County, S.C. The women of the party were away at the time, having gone to a squires with a young couple wishing to marry. The men were asleep or lounging about, and the children were playing when the savages struck. Sixteen were killed including all the men of the party, and 5 children were taken captive. Some were soon released, but one child recovered in October the following year, was supposed to have been of this party. The tense situation which the governor left to go to Charleston, exploded soon afterward, Indian hostages killed, and the soldiers of Ft. Prince George massacred. Civilians removed from the area... Governor Glen of South Carolina held a treaty with the Cherokees in October 1755, ostensibly to brighten the chain of friendship, but really to obtain a corner of their lands and a liberty to erect forts on the western frontier, as a barrier against the French on the southwest. Both were granted. This was the meeting at which a white child was turned over to the governor's party, who had been recovered by the Cherokees from French Indians."

I personally do not believe this 1754 raid is the one in which Mary Jane Coppock was taken for the following reasons. 1) Marmaduke was likely to be too young in 1754, especially if he was born in 1738 as is the current train of thought. 2) Marmaduke lived in New Jersey in 1755, far from the Carolinas at the time. 3) Marmaduke is also listed without wife when he moves with his father, Henry and brother's James and John from Hunterdon Co., NJ to the New Garden MM, in NC in 1757. 4) All verified children of Marmaduke and Mary Jane Coppock were not born until 1764 as per their bible and Quaker Records, meaning that if he rescued her in 1755, he didn't marry her for years later which again doesn't fit with tradition. 5) She would have only been a captive for a year, and that doesn't match any of the historical accounts on her capture. It is a fascinating story, but not likely to be the exact circumstances of our Mary Jane's Coppock's capture. Patti Sue McCrary has found another Indian raid which has a much better chance of being the raid in which Mary was captured. It also occurred in 1754, but in what was Granville Co., NC at the time. The Tuscaroras Tribe (in the Roanoke River in Bertie and Edgecombe consisting of 100 warriors and 2 women and children) and the Saponi Indians' (14 warriors strong of on the Western side of Granville Co.) rose up in that year, so that a militia was called together of all able bodied males in Granville Co. to protect their new settlements. One thousand, three hundred and seventeen men responded. The Indian uprising which the "History of Edgecombe County" states culminated in 17 persons being killed and ten to twelve captives being taken, was the culmination of Indian revolt in the area. This is the county where her father, Moses Coppock is on the muster rolls in 1754 and where he paid taxes in 1755.

An account of this uprising is supposedly covered in original Council Journals and House Journals for Granville Co., NC or Edgecombe Co., NC which was adjacent to Granville Co. at the time. A 1931 Duke University Masters thesis by Nannie M. Tilley that mentions this raid, sites these Council Journals. It is available in the Richard A. Thorton library in Oxford, North Carolina. (C-2221, 2239) The fit on this account is excellent for the following reasons. 1) Mary would have been a captive for about a 10 year period as many traditions claim. (i.e. Quaker Records of the Miami Co., OH by Davis & Corinee Diller's Coate book.) 2) Her sister could have been amongst the 10 or so captives. 3) Marmaduke and Mary by a traditional account were said to have traveled fast and hard by foot for 5 nights, sleeping under leaves during the day. This would estimate the distance from the tribe to Marmaduke's home from between 50 and 150 miles. Most of the Tuscaroras Indians lived in Granville along the Neuse River near knap of Reeds Creek and in the northern part of the county between Grassy and Island Creeks. From 1753-1758 the Saponi (14 men and 14 women strong) lived slightly north of Henderson. The Saponi, by the way, had assimilated into the Tuscarora, Meherrin, and Machapunga tribes and moved north by 1802. At the time of Mary's capture, these tribes were approximately within 100 miles of where Marmaduke lived in NC in 1763/4. (C-2221, 2225: Swanton, John: The Indian Tribes of North America) 5) Marmaduke would have been of an appropriate age to rescue and marry Mary in 1763/4, about 25. 6) It is where Mary's possible father, Moses Coppock, was on the muster rolls in 1754 as every bodied male was in the militia at that time who lived in that territory. To actually prove the fit is accurate, we might be able to find significant evidence in newspapers of the time or in the colonial records for NC in Granville and Edgcombe Counties.

Mary married Marmaduke COATE about 1763 in , , NC. Marmaduke (son of Henry COATE, * and Esther WILLSON) was born on 13 Jun 1738 in Hopewell, Hunterdon, New Jersey, United States; died on 22 Sep 1822 in Ludlow Falls, Miami County, Ohio, United States of America; was buried about 28 Sep 1822 in Union Joint Cemetery, Ludlow Falls, Newton Twp., Miami, OH. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He was supposedly killed by Indians at the same time as his father. (C-1304c,d) (C-2289) However, Bartholomew might account for one of the individuals living with his mother when she applied for 300 acres of land in Newberry/Berkeley Co., SC in 1767. If so, his death date is after 1767. Land was granted by the number of members in one's family. Martha received 300 acres, accounting for herself at 100 acres, plus 50 acres for each additional member or 4 more members. That would probably include children, Bartholomew, Phebe, Martha and James. If Bartholomew was killed with his father, then Phebe was likely married at a young age and still living at home with her husband.

Notes:

Phebe probably accounts for one of the individuals living with her mother when Martha applied for 300 acres of land in Newberry/Berkeley Co., SC in Dec. 1767. If so, she is likely not yet married at the time. (C-2289) After she married Elis Pugh, they had the following children: Jesse (1774), Kitty (1776), Thomas (1778), Ebner (1780), James (1782), Azariah (1784), and Ellis (1786) in Bush River, Newberry Co., South Carolina. Though Phebe's death date has not been found, it is likely that she died before 1802 when an Ellis Pugh and his wife Rachel moved from Newberry to Miami Co., Ohio

Phebe married Ellis PUGH in 1773 in , Newberry, SC. Ellis (son of Azariah PUGH and Hannah BEALS) was born on 21 Jan 1748; died in Mar 1836 in Near Waynesville, Warren, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Martha is sometimes listed as the older and sometimes younger sister of Mary Coppock. Both were supposedly captured by Indians. One account that seems to be closest to Quaker records, says Mary was 6 and Martha was 6 months at the time. Martha is said to have stayed with the Indians and be the wife of half breed Chief John Roose of the Cherokees.

An account from "I Have Called You Friends, the Story of Quakerism in NC" by Francis Charles Ancombe listed this account in Archdale, Randolph Co., NC: "Wm. Tomlinson and wife Martha Coppock came to this section while the Indians were still inhabiting the forests. As a girl she had been kidnapped by Indians, lived among them for a while, but was eventually rescued and restored to her family." This town was near Guilford Co., NC and the New Garden MM. Martha was probably rescued by 1767 when she likely accounts for one of the individuals living with her mother when Martha Sr. applied for 300 acres of land in Newberry/Berkeley Co., SC in 1767. This amount of acreage means that Martha had 5 persons including herself, living in her household. (C-2289)

The only factual information we have on Martha is that she did marry in Quaker Records, William Tomlinson on Dec. 30, 1771. (C-701) Her birth date of 1755 is possibly incorrect. It was recorded in Springfield Monthly Meeting, Guilford Co., NC Quaker records after she had died. It is included with a list of her husband and children's birth and death dates which means it was information relayed after the most recent death date which was daughter Martha who died in 1843. Her mother Martha's birth date of 1755 could easily be miscalculated. If the date of 1754 is correct for her capture, her birth date is likely to be previous to that. (C-1019) Her birth place is sometimes listed as Newberry, SC, but is more likely Granville Co., NC where a Moses Coppock is paying taxes in 1755.

Martha married William TOMLINSON on 30 Dec 1771 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA. William (son of Josiah TOMLINSON and Elizabeth WILSON) was born on 27 Mar 1749 in Timahoe, Kildare, IRL; died on 17 Mar 1813 in , Randolph, NC, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Elizabeth Harris gives his birth date as Oct. 9, 1758. Gr.gr. grandniece, Earnist E. Dearmond gives his birth date as Oct 15, 1758 and states he was born in England to Moses and Martha Scarr Coppock. (C-390e)

James accounts for one of the individuals living with his mother when she applied for 300 acres of land in Newberry/Berkeley Co., SC in 1767. The acreage means that Martha had at least 5 persons including herself living in her household when she petitioned for 300 acres. (C-2289)

James emigrated from Bush River, SC with his family to near the present city of Tippacanoe, Ohio on 5/30/1806. He was received on certificate from Bush River on 8/30/1806. On one of these certificates he was listed as moving with his wife, and children: Moses, Susannah and Martha only, leaving me to conjecture that the others had died before 1806. (C-1430) He might have lived for a few years in Wayne Twp., Warren Co., Ohio as there is a James in the 1809 tax list living there in that year. (C-1057) He died back in Miami Co., Ohio in 1838. In the manuscript "History of Coate and Coppock Families", it states he left but one child, Moses. (C-941, 1519f)

James married Hannah PUGH on 3 Sep 1791 in , , SC, USA. Hannah (daughter of Azariah PUGH and Hannah BEAL) was born on 9 Mar 1762; died on 11 Apr 1820 in , Miami, OH, USA; was buried about 12 Apr 1820 in Mill Creek Cemetery, Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This Moses William Coppock is listed with this information in a published book whose reference I can't find currently and multiple descendants have had his name, his wife and his children passed down to them with their family history. Roberta Coppock Keller got this information from her grandmother's written notes on the family. Her grandfather was the President of the Indianapolis organization of the Coate Coppock Heirs. According to them this Moses William, wife Martha, sons Benjamin and James are the Coppocks who originally helped purchase the land from the Cherokee Indians and then lease it out for $1.00 an acre in 1816. It is not known for sure if this Moses William and his wife Martha were living in 1816, though they'd be in their late 70's and early 80's at this point in time. It is also not known whether or not the Coppock Coppock land lease was real or fraudulent as is oft stated.

Moses William's parentage is uncertain. It is thought by some that he is the son of Moses and Martha Coppock born early in the 1800s. However, Moses did not marry Martha Lester until 1740 and this younger Moses was born in 1736. Roberta Keller theorizes that he is the son of Moses' brother Bartholomew, making him a cousin to Mary Jane Coppock, wife of Marmaduke Coate, also involved in the land lease. (C-2144)

According to a descendant of this Moses William Coppock born in 1855, this Moses W. and Martha also had a son named Samuel Coppock married to Lavina Coate that is sometimes found connected to Joseph and Jane Coate.

Moses married Martha SCARR on 3 Jul 1758. Martha was born on 18 Sep 1739; died after 23 Jul 1816. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
