Family/Spouse: Richard COPPOCK, *. Richard (son of Unknown COPPOCK, son of Unknown COPPOCK) was born before 1526 in Of Keckwick, Chester, ENG; died in 1592. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Richard Coppock was involved in the tanning trade, a business he probably inherited through marriage to Ellen Bradbury. Although he married in Mobberley, he doesn't appear to have ever lived there. He was instead a resident of Wilmslow.

This Richard who wrote his will in 1646 and has the children listed could be the Richard who was born in 1564 to Richard or in 1565 to Hugh, both of Wilmslow Parish, England. It could make sense that he is the son of Hugh as 3 of Hugh's children, Margaret, Richard and Sislie, have the same names as this Richard's children. However, the wrench in that theory is that "Richard the Yonger" (Younger?) which would probably be the Richard who is the son of Hugh is listed as the father of a Hugh b. in 1600. If he is the same one who had the many children listed below, why was he not listed as Richard the Yonger for any of his other children's births? In either case, he is highly likely to have the same ancestors within two or more generations. (C-2250E)

I am assuming that he is the Richard who was the son of Richard, born 1564, because he has multiple children with the same names as his parents and siblings, including Margaret, John, Richard, Ellen and Anne. He also has a daughter-in-law named Joan, but I don't know which of his son's he married. She could be the wife of Richard, Sisley, Edmund or Francis.

Richard Coppocke's will is as follows as transcribed by Paul C. Palmer from the Chester Record Office in Co. Chester England. Richard Coppocke, yeoman of Morely, WS 1648: "In the name of god amen etc The thertith daye of Decembe Anno Dom 1646 In the XXnth yeare of the rayne of o'sovarne Lord Charles by the grace of god of England Scotland France and Ireland [kinge defender of the] faith etc I Richard Coppocke of Morely with the county of Chester yeoman being of reasonable goode health but of good and perfect memorye the Lord make mee truly thankfull And being myndfull to setle that estate which the Lord Allmighty hath hitherto lent me forth of his Infinite goodnes and mercy so that there maye bee no dissention, suits or contoversies as touching the same doe herby make and declare this my last will and testamt in wryting in manner and forme following First and princiapally I doe herby commit and commend my soule into the hands of Allmighty god my creator, hoping to be saved by the prtious death and bloodsheading of Jesus Christ my savior and redeemer, And so thereby to bee made heyre of his glorious kingdome there to raiyne amonst his glorious and blessed Angeles for evermore.

This is probably the Richard referred to as Richard "the Yonger" in the baptismal record of Hugh Coppock, his likely son. (C-2251)

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

Notes:

John was the firstborn, but he is listed as an invalid or idiot in his father's will and Richard was therefore given the duties of the firstborn in the will. His birth date by some is conjectured to be the 1567 christening date belonging to a John, son of Richard. There is a Richard of Morley that has a son John in 1591 but that same Richard appears to have named a second son, John in 1598 which would have been too late for this John to be the father of Bartholomew. Instead of Richard, his father could be William, as William christened a son, John, on May 24, 1564 in Wilmslow also. (C-204)

The siblings I have listed for him are taken from similar christening dates to children of the Richard of that time period. (C-204)

He is listed as John of Houghe in his son, Bartholomew's christening record in 1610 at Wilmslow Parish, Cheshire, England. Hough is a village currently on the south side of Wilmslow and 3 or 4 miles from Mobberley. It is the only christening record that is available for John of Houghe's children in the Wilmslow Parish Records. (C-204)

Either one of these Johns might be the one who had a son John out of wedlock. A John's burial record lists him as the bastard son of John Coppock, b. Sep 1593 in the Mobberly Parish records. He was born and buried on the same day. (E)

John married Joane WILKINSON on 28 Feb 1606 in Wilmslow, Cheshire, ENG. Joane was born in 1568 in Wilmslow, Cheshire, ENG; died in 1650 in , , England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Ellen. Ellen died before 1606. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is listed as Rpt. in his father's will.

Family/Spouse: Margaret UNKNOWN. Margaret was born before 1582; died after 1592. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Ellen married Arthur FAWKNER before 1646. Arthur died after 1648. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Hugh is the only child listed as the son of Richard "The Yonger" of Morley. I am guessing that "The Yonger" means he is the son of the younger Richard in Wilmslow at the time. That would be referring to Richard, who was born in 1765 and was the son of Hugh.

Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Thomas ALLEN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Francis left a will in Chester Co., ENG. Chester Co. is the same as Cheshire Co., England. It's transcription is "To his wife, Ellen Coppocke; estate to be divided into equal parts, one to my wife & the other to my children (children not named): signed by Wm. Bradburie & Charles Bradburie. Jun 27, 1662." (Transcription by Glenn Russell, 1997, 2249) He is listed as a Yeoman and Tanner of Moberley in this document.

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

Family/Spouse: Rosemond BROWNE. Rosemond died in 1658. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

These are the probable but not proven parents of Bartholomew Coppock, Jr., b.1644/1645. They lived in Wilmslow Parish, Cheshire, Eng. but moved during the English Civil War to Wales for several years. When his son Bartholomew was christened in 1645, he is listed as living in Fulshaw (on the southside of Wilmslow) in 1645. (C-253b, C-613, 1333b)

Bartholomew only actually has one recorded marriage in the Wilmslow records to Elizabeth Curbishley. He however, appears to have had a relationship with a Marjorie Whilton, first at their son John's baptism recorded in Wilmslow Parish records as well as at John's death within the year. It is the only baptismal record in that year in Cheshire where the mother is listed and listed with her maiden name.

Bartholomew Coppock of Nether Leigh married to Elizabeth Curbishley and left a will in 1669. His estate was inventoried on Oct 26, 1669 by William Dykes, William Wilbram, and Richard Lounds. The administration was granted to Bartholomew Coppocke, natural and lawful son of the deceased to assist his mother, Elizabeth Coppocke. A bondsman included Thomas Sherrington of Digland in Par of Hawarden. The inventory was exhibited in court on Oct. 30, 1669. (C-2430)

Bartholomew married Elizabeth CURBISHLEY on 17 Aug 1644 in Chapel Of Whilton, W. Northwich, ENG. Elizabeth (daughter of Ralph CURBISHLEY and Jane\Jone CASH) was born on 4 May 1616 in Of Wilmslow Parish, ENG; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This Edward might be the Edward Coppock who left a will in Mobberly, Cheshire Co., ENG in 1720. He was listed as a yeoman (farmer who owned his own property?). If so, his will as provided by Annie Natelleli W. is a s follows. (C-2247E) WILL OF EDWARD COPPOCK 1720 The Sixteenth day of July in the Sixth year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord King George over Great Britain year Anno Dom 1720 I Edward Coppock of Mobberley in

This is possibly this Edward Coppock because his cemetery record places him at the right age to be this Edward. "Here lieth the body of Edward Coppock of Mobberly, who departed this life 12 of September, 1720, in the 76th year of his age." (born ca. 1644) His data was on the same cemetery stone as "William Coppock of Mobberley" (b. ca 1688), who "departed this life Jan 12 1741 in the 53rd year of his age" and Joseph, son of Joseph Coppock and Mary Barrett of Mobberley. It should be noted however, that I don't know how these other persons fit with this particular family.

Notes:

Wiliam was the first of this Coppock line to purchase the land he worked on. This occurred before 1672 as he was listed as a freeholder in that year in Leycester records. This is where the "Coppock House" was built. He sadly had to sell it in 1677 to Francis Newton.

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

Family/Spouse: Anne DUNCALF. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John is often listed as the son of Bartholomew and Marjorie as they had a son John christened in 1636. However, this is incorrect since Bartholomew and Marjorie's son, John died on Dec. 27, 1636 as verified in Parish records. Current information form Parish records suggest that he might be 1) John Jr. Coppock who was christened on Oct. 12, 1634 in Wilmslow as sorted by Allen Dale or 2) the John who is listed as the son of William in William's brother John's will written in Mobberly, England in 1665. I am currently using Allen Dale's sorting for him. (C-1333b, 2247, 2551, E)

In Mobberly, England a Coppock household is the oldest standing home at the current time. (1999) It's residents are Malcolm and Dotty Dennison. An old Coppock farm also in that region is currently lived in by a Mrs. Nixon. Cousins, Jill and daughter, Leslie Coppock own a nearby antique shop, so that descendants of this family live on in the area. (C-2293E)

There are three death dates for persons named John back in England in this time period. 1) One is 1666 in Moberley, Cheshire Co, Eng. records. This one applies to the John, the tanner, who wrote his will in 1665 which was probated in 1666 in Mobberly, Cheshire, ENG. His wife's name was Margaret Dean whom he married in 1634 in Mobberley. He had grown children when he wrote his will. 2) One is a will for a John in 1684, Yeoman, in Greadby, ENG. He also had grown children at the time of the writing of his will in 1660 meaning that would have been born at least two decades before our John. 3) The other possible death date for this John is Dec 31, 1709. (C-1304d, 2247, 2250E)

The children of this John and Susan are mostly conjecture. They all had a father named John. Only Rose and Francis can be verified as belonging to this John and Susan in the Mobberly records. They might also have had a son named Thomas who is in the following death record listings for Mobberly Parish. "Thomas Coppock 'ye son of John Coppock buryed ye 22nd day [Oct 1679] and affidavit brought within ye space of 8 days after bearing date ye 27 - 1679." Aaron Coppock, christened in 1666, a son of John in Mobberly records is often connected with this family too. I for one have placed Aaron as the son of John the Tanner married to Margaret Dean because the fit matches other pieces of evidence better.

John married Susan LOWE on 4 Jun 1662 in Mobberley, Cheshire, ENG. Susan (daughter of William LOWE and Elizabeth UNKNOWN) was born on 6 Feb 1631 in Mobberley, Cheshire, ENG; died on 18 Oct 1684 in Mobberley, Cheshire, ENG. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Bartholomew's parents were originally from Wilmslow Parish, in Cheshire, Eng. Some second hand sources state they moved to Flinshire, Wales for a few years due to the English Civil War where Bartholomew was born instead. When he is baptized in Wilmslow Parish records, his father was listed as Bartholomew of Fulshaw, an area just south of Wilmslow.

It should be noted that there was another Bartholomew born about 1645 who married Elinor/Ellen Smith or Williamson instead who could be the son of Bart and Elizabeth Curbishley of Wilmslow and Nether Leigh. Bartholomew was married in Wilmslow, England at the home of Richard Yarwood in 1678. He seems to have moved back temporarily to Wales as his first son is born there. His third child was born back in Cheshire, England. He emigrated on the ship "The Freeman of Liverpool" that left port on June 7, 1682. The following goods are listed by his name and I wonder if this was his payment for passage: 1 hhd. qty. 60 lbs. woolen cloth; 40 ells English linen; 1/4 cwt. wrought iron; 7 lbs, haberdashery. His fourth child was born in Pennsylvania. The ship was a fast one as it had docked in Delaware by Aug 6, 1682, George Southern, Master. (C-2228c)

Bartholomew was supposedly one of 3 different early Coppocks who immigrated to our country, one of these being a slightly younger Bartholomew (all possible relatives of each other.) In William Penn's original land grants to purchasers from England, Ireland and Scotland, a Bartholomew Coppock is listed twice. The first was dated Mar 20 &21st. The second was dated Apr 4 & 5, 1681, both prior to the emigration of Penn and his followers to Pennsylvania. On those dates, William Penn of Sussex in England sold 250 acres (in Hightough, Chester Co.?) to one Bartholomew Coppeck and 500 acres to another Bartholomew prior to his emigration to the colonies from William Penn in "The Annals of Pennsylvania." (see the two Bartholomew's listed below.) (C-1979, 2228e) According to descendants of the Bartholomew whom this biography is about, this Bartholomew was the one that purchased 500 acres from William Penn. The exact reference in Bryant's Abstracts of Chester Co. Land Records is: Deed. On 20 & 21 Mar 1681 William PENN of Sussex, England to Bartholemew COPPECK of Salsbury, yeoman. William PENN for ? 10 grants to Bartholemew COPPECK a tract in province of Pennsylvania containing 500 acres. Signed William PENN. Delivered in the presence of John MARTIN, William PARKER & Harbt SPRINGETT. Recorded 01 Jun 1688. (A1B34)

If this family tradition is true, then he is probably the Bartholomew who owned 800 acres on Crum Creek on a map of Chester Co. (now Delaware) PA, dated 1683. He was a farmer by trade. He seems to have been a witness to a will signed on board the ship Friendship in 1684 (on a return trip?). His neighbors on Crum Creek, PA were also Wilmslow natives. (C-253a) He purchased 300 acres from John Nickerson of Lower Providence on Apr 12, 1687 which is where he resided until his death. John had originally obtained the land from William Penn. Bartholomew Coppeck was from Springfield (PA) at the time of his 1687 purchase. He is therefore also likely to be the Bartholmew Coppock whom in 1687 was appointed to the first Court of Equity for Springfield Twp., Delaware Co., PA along with 2 other prominent citizens, George Maris, and Samuel Levis. In 1696, he is listed as a neighbor of James Stanfield who was selling 100 acres to Thomas Hope and 100 acres to Henry Haines. That land was in Marple bounded by land of Thomas Massey, Darby Creek, and Henry Haines as well as Bartholomew. According to "The History of Delaware Co., PA", he is the Bartholomew that lived on land on Darby Creek in Marple. (C-2136) If this is accurate, then he is the Bartholomew who also witnessed the following deed: "Deed. On 07 Nov 1709 Joshua FEARNE of Darby, yeoman, to Josiah FEARNE of Darby, yeoman. Joshua FEARNE for ? 55 grants to Josiah FEARNE a tract bounded by Darby creek & land of John WOOD, containing 50 acres, being part of 500 acres originally granted to Thomas WORTH & Samuel BRADSHAW, who then granted 50 acres to Joshua FEARNE of Darby, dec'd, by deed dated 04 Oct 1687. Joshua FEARNE by his will dated 06 Apr 1693 bequeathed to his son & heir, Joshua FEARNE, the 50 acres. Signed Joshua FEARNE. Delivered in the presence of Isaac TAYLOR, Bartholemew COPPECK & John SIMCOCK. Recorded 10 Nov 1709. (B2357)" (Bryant, Abstracts of Chester Co. Land Records)

Our Bartholomew's will was dated July (5th mo.) 10, 1718 and probated March 9, 1718/9. It names his wife, Margaret, three grand-daughters through deceased son Jonathan, daughter-in-law Jane, Jane's brother John Owen of Philadelphia, his son Bartholemew and children Margeret, Rebecca, Sarah, Martha, and Moses. (C-429, 613, 2150) He was listed at near age 73 in the death date of 12/20/1718/1719.

His will is transcribed as follows: I Bartholomew Coppock of Marble in the county of Chester and Province of Pensylvania being in Reasonable good health of body and of sound and Perfect mind and memory Praise therefore be given to almighty God Do make and ordain this my last will and Testament in manor & form following First and Principally I Commend my Soul into the hands of almighty God that gave it and my body I committ to the earth to be decently buried at the discretion of my Executors hereafter named and as following the Disposition of all such temporal Estates as it hath pleased God to bestow upon me.
