Notes:

She was a passenger on the ship "Welcome" that came to Pennsylvania from Aug.-Oct. 1682. Her mother and uncle, Isaac, both died on board in the smallpox epidemic. She and her siblings came under the care of her mother's bother, G. Ingram. (C-253b, 1427) She was married shortly thereafter to George Thompson by a Swedish priest. George as well as the clergyman who performed the ceremony were taken to court for violating the laws of the Province (possibly because she was with child?). Thompson appeared in court on Feb. 14, 1682/3 and the charges were dismissed as no one came to accuse him. It appears that Thompson left Miriam, as she was in the town records on Nov. 6, 1684 as needing public assistance for herself and child (Ralph Thomson). In some sources it assumes he dies before she marries again. However, this George Thompson seems to be the same Thompson that was listed as a married man in church records in 1698. There is a descendant of a Joshua Thompson, b. 1696 in this area named Lew Chaplick that believes that Joshua is a son or grandson of George Thompson, possibly through Miriam Short. She next married William White of New Castle Co. He was a Wheelwright. He died in 1703 and left her widowed with three additional children.

Her last husband was Aaron Coppock. (C-1210) They had declared their intention to marry on 7/11 and 9/13/1704 in Concord MM. She probably is the Miriam Coppock who witnessed the marriages of John, her son, and Margaret Coulson Coppock in 1731; John Harris and Phebe Beeson, 1731, and William White, her grandson, and Sarah Pugh in 1743 in East and West Nottingham Monthly Meetings held in Cecil Co., Maryland, just over the border from Townships of this same name in Pennsylvania. (C-1302)

A supposed source by Cope entitled "Baily Family", states that this Short family's origin was in Garton, Surrey, (ENG). (C-1427)

Family/Spouse: George THOMPSON. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Miriam married William WHITE after 1698. William died in 1703. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Miriam married Aaron COPPOCK in 30th da 9th mo 1704 in Chichester M.M., Chester, PA. Aaron (son of John COPPOCK, The Tanner and Margaret DEANE) was born on 25 Dec 1665 in Mobberley, Cheshire, ENG; was christened on 6 Jan 1666 in Moberly Parish, Chester, ENG; died on 10 Oct 1726 in East Nottingham, Chester, PA, USA; was buried on 12 Oct 1726 in East Nottingham, Chester, PA, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Ralph is bequeathed the 40 lbs. that he owed his step father, Aaron Coppock in Aaron's will dated 10/3/1726. Aaron calls him a son-in-law. In that day it meant, stepson. (C-2150)

Notes:

Samuel was willed 5 lbs from his stepfather, Aaron Coppock on 10/3/1726 in Nottingham, Chester Co., PA will records. (C-2150)

Family/Spouse: Hannah PIGOTT. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John was willed 5 lbs. by his stepfather, Aaron Coppock, on 10/3/1726 being called a "son-in-law" in the will. Son-in-law in this case meant stepson. John and Mary his wife witnessed the marriage of his step-brother, John Coppock to Margaret Coulson in 1731. John and Mary were listed as the parents of William White when he married Sarah Pugh in 1743. John and Mary were from East Nottingham Twp., Chester Co., PA at the time. (C-1302)

John married Mary JOB on 31 Oct 1717. Mary died after 1743. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She was still unmarried in 1726 when her stepfather, Aaron Coppock, willed her 5 lbs on 10/3/1726 in Nottingham, Chester Co., Pennsylvania (C-1210, 2150) It is likely that she married a Delaney. If so, this would account for the Eliz. Delaney in the relatives column who witnessed the marriage of (her step-brother), John Coppock to Margaret Coulson in Nottingham M.M. in 1731.

Notes:

She attended the marriage of her brother John to his wife, Margaret Coulson.

Miriam married Richard Bright JONES on 12 Aug 1727 in Nottingham M.M., Chester, PA, USA. Richard was born about 1679 in , , , Wales; died on 16 Jul 1772. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It is highly likely that Lydia married a David Gregg, as they are both listed in the relatives column as witnessing the marriage of her brother, John Coppock to Margaret Coulson.

Family/Spouse: David GREGG. David died after 1731. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John, the youngest son of Aaron Coppock, was willed his father's plantation of abt. 100 acres when he wrote his will on the 10th mo, 3rd day of 1726. This he received prior to his marriage to Margaret Coulson. John is listed as the son of Aaron Coppock of East Nottingham, Chester Province, PA, deceased when he marries Margaret Coulson on the 16th day, first month of 1731. Witnesses in the relatives column in order of signature are: Miriam Coppock (his mother) Tho. Coulson (her brother), Martha Coulson (her sister-in-law), Jn. White (his step-brother), Mary White (his step-brother's wife), Joel Bailey (his Uncle, brother-in-law to his mother, Miriam Short), Lydia Gregg (his sister), Miriam Jones (his sister), Eliz. Delaney (possibly his step-sister, formerly Eliz. White), Marg. Richard, Sarah Wily, Sarah Powell, David Gregg (his likely brother-in-law), John Robinson (husband to his step-sister, Martha Coppock), and William Wily. I've noted the ones whose relationship I understand. The mystery relatives could be important clues as to the rest of the makeup of this family. (C-2474)

He sells land on which he was living on Feb 7, 1768 to Francis Armstrong. John is listed "of the township of Little Britain in the county of Lancaster, Pennsylvania". This deed also says that he obtained what was 3 parcels of land all by 1750.

John in listed as the father of Joseph when he marries Jane Wilson in Little Britain MM, PA in 1769. He was again listed as being from Little Britain, Lancaster Co., the Province of PA in this marriage record. (C-2298b) John's wife is listed as the daughter of Joseph and Margaret of Germantown, Philadelphia, PA when he and Margaret married. She was born between 1705 and 1708. Her age at death was listed as 83 years in the Little Britain MM, PA Quaker records which occurred in 1788.

Both John and Margaret's death dates are listed in Little Britain MM, PA records where their children had been born. Other sources have listed John's will and death place as Maryland, so this makes the death place for he or his wife in question as they died within about a year of each other. Did they occur in Little Britain Twp., Lancaster, PA or in Mongouise, (Cecil), MD? In either case, both places were just over the border from each other. Dan Treadway explains the problem this way: " The place where John Coppock and his father Aaron settled in what is now Maryland is known as the Nottingham Lots. These lots were in an area that the British Crown had granted both to Maryland and to Pennsylvania. The folks who moved to Nottingham from Pennsylvania thought they were moving to Pennsylvania, and received their grants from Penn. The boundary was only settled in the mid-18th century when surveyors Mason and Dixon drew their famous line. That line divided the Nottingham settlement, with some lots lying in Maryland and some in Pennsylvania."

John and Margaret sometimes are listed with a daughter Ellen, but this is a mix-up with his daughter-in-law, Ellen Sidwell, who was married to his son, Samuel. (C-1437)

This John and Margaret were the great-great grandparents of Edwin and Barclay Coppock. They were two of John Brown's famous Harper's Ferry Raiders. Even though Quakers, they were completely dedicated to the cause of freeing the slaves. They became acquainted with John Brown during John's stay in Springdale, Iowa and wished to join his cause. After Harper's Ferry, Edwin was captured and was hung like all the other captured members of this party. Barclay escaped only to be killed shortly after joining the Civil War a year and a half later.

John's will is quoted as follows: " Whereas I the Subscriber being Ancient and (conscious) dering the uncertainty of my time here being now in perfect mind and memory do make This my last Will and Testament and dipose of What the Lord hath blest me with in my outward Substance in manner following 1st my Will is that my Body be decently buried & my funeral Charges paid & also my debts paid agreeable to an Article of Agreement bearing date the 21st of the 9 mo 1777 out of my Personal Estate. 2nd my Will is and I give bequeath to my son John Coppock five Shillings and a book called Scrivets (?)

James Jacks Reg Be it remembered that on the sixth day of November Anno Domini 1789 the last Will and Testament of John Coppock late of Little Britain Thownship Yeoman Deceased was prove in due form of Law and Letters Testamentary therin were granted to Thomas Coppock the Executor therein named Joseph M.

Given under the Seal of said Office ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ). Recorded and Exam( ) James Jacks Reg( ) (C-1425a, 2298c)

When John's estate is inventoried, it is listed as being located in Little Brittain Twp., Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania Most of the events in his life can also be listed in Cecil Co., MD in second hand sources or Quaker records. The Quaker Monthly Meetings in that area covered a region of 2 or more states at the border, and I think that's why the mix-up. Obviously, all actual documents that list where he lives take place in Pennsylvania. (C-2298b,c,d)

John married Margaret COULSON on 16 Jan 1731 in Nottingham M.M., Cecil, MD. Margaret (daughter of Joseph COULSTON and Mary Margaret EVANS) was born before 1710 in Germantown, Philadelphia, PA, USA; died on 3 Mar 1788 in Little Britain M.M., Lancaster, PA, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to Nottingham M.M. records, John was born the 9th month, 18th day in 1736 to John Coppock and Margaret, his wife. One correspondent with Mendenhall states that John married Catherine King before marrying Abigail in 1761. They supposedly had three children named Thomas, Samuel and Jonathan. This has no proof to support it at this point in time. (C-1430) John received a certificate of removal from the E. Nottingham M.M. in Cecil Co., MD on the 26d, 7m, 1777. It stated that he had made amends with the E. Nottingham M.M. several years after marrying out of unity and being disowned for it. It also stated that John currently was living within the "verge" of the Bush River Monthly Meeting in South Carolina when the letter of removal was written. John's will was written July 19, 1801 and proved Aug. 3, 1801. His administrators were (wife) Abigail, Aaron and John (possible sons) Coppock. Purchasers included Joseph Coppock and Joseph Furnas. (C-884, 1301) He is listed on the same page as his son John in the 1800 Newberry Co., SC census records. His household included he and his wife over 45, and one son between age 16 and 26. (C-931, 1057) Of his 9 or 10 children, Aaron, John, Susannah Elleman and Abigail Weeks emigrated to Ohio. (C-1017)

John married Abigail (Skillern) SCHELLENGER in 1761. Abigail was born about 1742 in Cape May, Cape May, New Jersey, United States; died on 20 May 1818 in New Hope M.M., Greene, TN, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She and her husband are not listed as deceased when their children are still marrying in 1782 in Little Britain MM. I have seen her death date listed elsewhere as 1776... but I suspect this might belong to a daughter named after Ann that died young. It definitely does not apply to this Ann as she is still listed as living up through marriages of her children in 1792... whereas her husband is listed as deceased before the 1789 marriages in the Little Britain MM records.

Ann married Thomas KING on 11 Dec 1755 in Little Britain M.M., Lancaster, PA, USA. Thomas died before 1789 in Of Little Britain M.M., Lancaster, PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Margaret married William WEBSTER on 1 Jul 1773 in Little Britain M.M., Lancaster, PA, USA. William died in Apr 1792. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Joseph Coppock, son of John Coppock of Little Brittain Twp., Lancaster Co. PA married Jane Wilson, daughter of John Wilson of the Twp. of East Marlborough, Chester Co., PA according to their Quaker marriage record. The marriage record clearly stated that it took place on the 4th day, 5th month, 1769. Joseph left the East Nottingham MM, Chester Co., PA (also in Maryland) area on certificate dated Dec. 26, 1772 and was received in the Bush River MM, Newberry Co. area on April 30, 1774.

He and his children are all listed in Medlin's, [UL:Quaker Familes:UL]. He purchased land on Oct. 29, 1784 from John Ridgdel in Newberry. He is listed as an early businessman in Summer's "Newberry Co., SC Historical and Genealogical" book. (C-2774)

A Joseph Cupock is listed in the 1790 South Carolina Census, Newberry Co., 96th district, pg. 77 with 4 males age 16 & older, 3 males under age 16 and 4 females. This record probably applies to the above Joseph Coppock. He deeded land to (son or brother) Thomas on Mar. 14, 1794 in Newberry Co., South Carolina. (C-909) He sold land to Frederick Burtz on Sept. 17, 1797 in Newberry. Then Thomas Coppock sold Joseph land in the same county on November 7, 1797. (C-908) He was not listed in the 1800 census. He was possibly living with son, John as John's household lists a male over 45 as well as one from age 16-26. (C-219)

His will is as follows. *Coppock, Joseph, 11th day, 10th month, 1799 Will. "Where as I Joseph Coppock of Newberry County and State of South Carolina being Weak in Body but of Sound Mind and Memory Thanks be to God and Calling to mind that it is apointed unto Men onse to See, for Divers Causes and Considerations one herunto moving I do Hereby Ordain This My Last Will and Testement first I Recommend My Soul into The Hands of Almighty God Who gave it and after My Deceas my body to be Decently Buryed in a Christian Like Manner at the Discretion of my Executors and as Conserning my Wordly Estate Which it Hath Pleased god to ( ) me Doth I give Will and Bequeathe to My Beloved Wife Jane Coppock in the following manner That is to Say I give Her My House and Plantation and all the Movable Property that is mine at my Decease to Have The full (Authority) of for The benefit of Her own Support and to (the) ( ) The younger children unto be Wholy at & or Discresion and benefit until The youngest Child Comes to the age of Twenty one Namely ( ), Then it is my Desire That the (Farm) be Equally Divided amongst all my Children and That My beloved Wife Jane Coppock Have the full Privilege of the House Where I now Live during her Life and The one Third of the Land for her Support and also all the Personable Property That may be at that time to be Left Wholy to her Disposal as She may Think best that is to say When the youngest Child Comes of age, and at her Decease Her Third of the Land and all The Rest of the Property to be Equally divided amongst the children, and as to my Children That are of age and gon to them ( ) Namely my Son John my Son Thomas my Son Benjamin my Son Joseph Coppock and my Daughter Elizabeth Cote(s) Have all Received Different amounts Which is my Desire may be Taken out of their Parts at the ( ) and as to my other Children Nameley My Daughter Margarett my Daughter Jane My Son Samuel my Son William and my son Jesse it is my Desire that When they are married or of age may Receive Eaquil With the others of it Can be Shared but to be Left intirely at the Descresion of my beloved Wife as she may Think best at that time and further it is my desire that my beloved Wife Jane Coppock and my Son John Coppock and my Son Thomas Coppock to be my Executors of this my will and Testament & is annuling all other Wills by me heretomade and Signed, further it is my Desire that Joseph and Benjamin may have the Privilege of Keeping the Land and to Settle With the Others at such time as ( ) ( ) the ( ) agree amongst themselves, and Lastly I (Seal) ( ) ( ) to be my Last Will and Testament in Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand and Seal this 11 Day of The Tenth Month called October in the year of our Lord one Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety Nine and Signed in the Presents of Jacob ( ), Samuel Coate, (Matthew Coppock).

Joseph married Jane WILSON in 4th da 5th mo 1769 in E. Nottingham M.M., , PA. Jane (daughter of John WILSON and Ruth COOKE) was born on 29 Sep 1751 in East Nottingham, Chester, Pennsylvania, United States; died on 10 Sep 1823 in Union M.M., Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Thomas moved to Tennessee about the same time his brothers went to South Carolina, in the 1770's. Williams gives his death date as 1808 in Jefferson Co., TN. Mary Frazier Reed gives his location as originally from PA, but of Stawberry Plains, Jefferson Co., TN. (C-1543, 2053)

Thomas married Mary UNKNOWN about 1772 in , Jefferson, TN. Mary was born about 1744; died about 1800 in , Jefferson, TN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Samuel's marriage in some 2nd hand respected books is said to be on the 11th of Dec., 1775. However, I have a copy of the original from "Quaker Records in Maryland" provided by Patti Sue McCrary and it clearly states that they married on the 7th day of the 12th month, 1775. His wife's name is also clearly stated to be Ellen Sidwell, daughter of Isaac and Ann Sidwell of Little Brittain Twp., Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania Samuel was in the 1800 U.S. Census Records for Lancaster, Pennsylvania According to Annie Natalli-Waloszek, he died about 1806 in Salem, Columbiana Co., Ohio This varies by date from other sources and needs verified. (C-703, 2250E)

Samuel married Ellen SIDWELL in 7th da 12th mo 1775 in Little Britain M.M., Lancaster, PA, USA. Ellen (daughter of Isaac SIDWELL and Ann BROWN) was born in 1756; died in Mar 1806 in Little Britain M.M., Lancaster, PA, USA; was buried in Friends Grave Yard, Little Britain Twp., Lancaster, PA, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

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 moved 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)

Aaron married Margaret TUCKER on 9 Feb 1797 in Little Limestone, Washington, TN. Margaret was born on 4 Apr 1770; died on 6 May 1848. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is listed next to John Coppock, Sr. and is likely the John Coppock who was in the 1800 census record between 26 and 45 with a wife the same age. They had 3 sons and two daughters under age 10. He and his family moved to Miami County, Ohio in 1805 and settled one and a half miles north of Ludlow Falls. They were Quakers. (C-931, 1057, 1430, 2109)

Notes:

She moved with her brother Aaron Coppock to Washington Co., TN before removing to Miami Co., Ohio. (C-1546)

Susannah married John ELLEMAN on 2 Aug 1787 in , Newberry, SC, USA. John (son of Enos ELLEMAN and Catherine COLLINS) was born on 17 Apr 1766 in , Orange, NC; died in 1818. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Margaret died young. (C-1430)

Notes:

In 1809, Abigail and her family were living in New Garden MM, North Carolina. They moved to Ohio by 1813. (C-1546)

Abigail married Benjamin WEEKS on 26 Mar 1796. Benjamin was born on 28 Feb 1774; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Ann HAWORTH. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Ann and her husband are buried in Union Cemetery, Miami Co., Ohio. Her cemetery stone says she was born Mar. 18, 1781 and died Sep. 11, 1870. However, it also states she was 89 years, 5 months, and 12 days old. This would make her birth date be Mar 29, 1781 instead. Which is correct is not known. (C-1430, 1446)

Ann married James Wade HAWORTH on 28 Jul 1797 in Holston, , TN. James was born on 6 Feb 1775; died on 1 Dec 1829 in , Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Ellen STILLWELL. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Enos ELLIS. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This John could be one of two John Coppocks in the 1800 Newberry Co., Census records. The first was between ages 26 and 45. His wife was between 16 and 26 and they had two daughters under age ten. The second lived near John Coppock, Sr. and was also between 26 and 45 with wife the same, and 3 sons and two daughters under ten. It is sometimes listed that he had up to 4 wives, but this honor goes to his grandson, John, instead. (C-931,1430) In any case, he and his wife had a total of 7 children.

John married Mary Ann TEAGUE in 1798. Mary died before Aug 1808. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

John married Nancy LITTLEJOHN on 18 Aug 1808 in , Miami, OH, USA. Nancy was born on 15 Mar 1786 in , , SC, USA; died on 13 Jul 1831 in , Clay, IN, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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

Notes:

His birth date is also recorded in Bush River MM, South Carolina records as 1771. (C-556) He is probably the Thomas Coppock who was in the 1800 Newberry Co. Census records at age 26-45 with wife between 16-26. They had two daughters under age ten. In his will written in 1826, he named wife, Elizabeth, son Joseph, d. Sarah and all his other daughters. His executor was Samuel Coate. His witnesses were Zadock Reagen, Jesse Coppock, and Jesse Jones. (C-931, 2247E)

Thomas married Elizabeth MAST about 1796. Elizabeth was born on 16 Oct 1774; died on 4 Aug 1844. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

A Benjamin Coppock is listed as the head of household in the 1800 South Carolina Census, pg. 70 for Newberry District, South Carolina. Two males under age 10, 1 male between ages 26 and 45, 1 female between ages 16-26 and 1 slave are listed in this family. (C-219a, 299, 390k, 556) Benjamin Coppock and sons, Joseph and William were received on certificate from the Bush River Monthly Meeting, S. Carolina in the minutes of W. Branch Monthly Meeting, Ohio dated March 19, 1804. His wife Susannah and daughters, Jane and Elizabeth were added to these same minutes on the date of August 29, 1807. They settled 2 miles west of Ludlow Falls, Union Twp., Ohio where they raised a family of 10 children. (C-112, 1430)

Benjamin married Susannah JAY on 25 Jun 1796 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA. Susannah (daughter of William JAY, Jr. * and Margaret VOSS) was born on 19 Nov 1778 in , Newberry, SC, USA; died on 14 Jun 1859 in , Miami, OH, USA; was buried about 15 Jun 1859 in Ludlow Falls, Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This Joseph is possibly in the 1800 Newberry Census records between the age of 16 and 26 with a wife of the same age and two sons under age ten. (C-931) Unlike most of the Quaker families of the time, he and his wife remained in South Carolina during the great exodus. That is likely because he was disowned by the Quaker church when he married his wife who was not a Quaker. In the 1810 Newberry census, he might be the Joseph who had 2 sons under age 10, 1 male age 16 to 26 and himself from 26 to 45. Females included 3 females under age 10, 1 female age 10 to 16 and a wife his own age. (C-2307) His will appears to be probated in 1819 in Newberry Co., SC with administrators R. Evans and J. Coppock listed. (C-1403)

Family/Spouse: Esther PATTERSON. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Elizabeth married Moses COATE on 28 Jun 1794 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA.

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She and her husband, Samuel Coate, were accepted at Waynesville, Miami MM, OH in June of 1804 with sons, James and Joseph. (C-1017)

Margaret married Samuel COATE on 8 May 1800 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA. Samuel (son of Marmaduke COATE and Mary Jane COPPOCK) was born on 28 Aug 1772 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA; died on 26 Jan 1869 in Union Twp., Miami, OH, USA; was buried about 27 Jan 1869 in , Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This Samuel Coppock who married Lavina Coate was the son of Moses William and Martha Lester Coppock according to Charles P. Dye (b. 1855) who submitted his Coate Coppock lineage early in the 20th century to support the Coate Coppock land lease court case. Mendenhall in his book claims that Samuel is the son of Joseph and Jane Coppock. Since Samuel is listed in his father, Joseph Coppock's will, I have connected him into this family, though there could be a Samuel in each family of similar peerage confusing the issue. (C-390L, E)

Samuel married Lavina COATE after 1805. Lavina (daughter of Marmaduke COATE and Mary Jane COPPOCK) was born on 6 Mar 1791 in Newberry County, South Carolina, United States of America; died on 11 Mar 1873 in Miami County, Ohio, United States of America; was buried in Pleasant Hill, Miami County, Ohio, United States of America.

Notes:

William emigrated to Ludlow Falls, (Newton Twp.) Miami Co., Ohio in 1807 along with some of his brothers and Mother in the early days of settlement in this region. He cleared the trees to build a log cabin and married within a couple years. He was a teamer by profession and his wagons ran from Cincinnati to the outlying settlements.

His cemetery stone in 2004 was difficult to read. His home was in Ludlow Falls, Ohio. His death occurred 3 years after his marriage to Eunice in 1812 and I wonder if it occurred because of his trade between newly settled areas. His age listed on his stone would make his birthdate be 4/14/1789 instead of the date I've found printed in other reputable sources so I don't know which birth date is correct. (C-1017)

William married Eunice COTHRAN on 16 Jul 1809 in , Miami, OH, USA. Eunice (daughter of Alexander COTHRAN and Hester UNKNOWN) was born on 13 Mar 1793 in , Newberry, SC, USA; died on 15 Jun 1866 in , Miami, OH, USA; was buried in Union Joint Cemetery, Ludlow Falls, Newton Twp., Miami, OH.

Notes:

Jesse lived in Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in the 1820 census and in Newton Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in the 1830 census. (C-1025) We know that Jesse married Anna Cothran from two sources, Hinshaw's Quaker Encyclopedia which lists both their parents and one of their children's marriage records. He sells his land in Miami Co., Ohio in 1836 and shows up in Pulaski Co., IN in 1837. He is in Hinshaw, Union M.M., OH when he marries and then disappears from Hinshaw's Quaker records. According to Alan Coppock, he left SC in 1805, moved to Ohio and then finally moved to Indiana in 1837. He had 6 sons and 1 daughter, plus 1wife, Anna, when they moved to Indiana. He built the 1st log cabin in Pulaski, IN where his next son was born in 1838 named Olvier D. He was elected one of the first three County Commissioners of Pulaski County in 1841.

Anna died before him. He married 2 other women before he died in 1851. He has a standing tombstone in that county that verifies this.

Jesse married Anna COTHRAN on 9 Jun 1813 in Union M.M., Miami, OH, USA. Anna (daughter of Alexander COTHRAN and Hester STEDMAN) was born in 1794; died before 1849. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

According to Gary Hawley, this is Mary's spouse. The marriage is late for her birth date I have for her, but all the siblings in this family are matching marriage records occurring in Jefferson Co., Tennessee.

Notes:

In the Ohio Archeolocial and Historical Society Publications, 1921, it states that John Coppock and his wife first moved to Mount Pleasant, then into the Northwestern Territory and within a year, to Ohio. By 1803 he lived in what later became Butler Township, Columbiana Co., Ohio This document supported by interviews with the oldest family members in Ohio at the time, states that John is a descendant of Aaron Coppock of Cheshire, England.

Notes:

I believe this Mary to be a daughter of Samuel and Ellen Sidwell Coppock even though her parents are listed as Samuel and Eleanor Coppock in 1812 when she marries in Little Britain MM. It states was deceased in Little Britain MM, Pennsylvania.. and all these facts fit only this Samuel and Ellen Sidwell Coppock. (E)
