Hi Nancy I noticed you mentioned "born in NY" My COPELANDs were from Ireland.....came to US in 1848.....and lived in NY. Mostly Brooklyn. My g grandfathers name was George b 1836 d 1891.....BUT I am looking into any others in family. Do you have any idea where in NY or maybe what George's fathers names was???? Sue in NY

George and Sarah Copeland's daughter Violet married Thomas P Kindel. They lived at 127 Grove St in Highland Park, Wayne Co MI, according to Thomas' ww1 draft card. He was born 8 Jul 1887 and worked for Ford Motor. Violet was born 19 Nov 1894 and died 15 Feb 1983, according to Michigan Deaths. She lived in Westland but died in Livonia. Couldn't find a death date for Thomas. Do not know if they had children. dotsicle

This particular family was in Wyoming Co NY in 1860 and 1870. George was born 1862 in NY; the rest of the family (parents John and Agnes) was born in Ireland. They may have come to Canada before settling in NY. dotsicle

To continue what I found on George Copeland in 1900 Bay City MI.... 1910 shows George and Sarah with Violet still in Bay City, Bay Co MI, but places of birth are different. George is 43 and a machinist. Sarah is 32, has had one child, now living. Violet is 15, born in Michigan. This year, George is said to have been born in NY, father Ireland, mother England. Sarah was born in Mich., parents in Canada. Have not located this family, or any members, in 1920. Nancy dotsicle

I find George and his family in Bay City, MI, in 1900. They are indexed with the spelling "COPLAND". George was born Feb 1862 and Sarah in July 1874, both in "English Canada". George came to the US in 1884 and Sarah in 1887. Both had been naturalized. George worked as a "flag man"; did this have to do with the railroad? In 1900, they had been married 6 years. Sarah had one child born and living, so it appears that Violet was their only child. dotsicle

I'm researching the Copeland & Bennett family, now George Copeland states in the census he was born in Canada, his wife Sarah ( Sadie ) was born in Huron county Ontario, last found George and Sarah together in the 1920 census in Highland Park, Wayne county MI. now by the 1930 census Sarah was living with her daughter and husband, Thomas & Violet ( Copeland ) Kindel, also living in Highland Park.Now George was born abt. 1862 and Sarah born abt. 1874, now with the difference in age I'm thinking George died between 1920 & 1930, Sarah was 54 in the 1930 census. Now there daughter Violet was born Nov. 19, 1894 in Bay City MI. Would love to find George Copeland's death and if he and Sarah had any more children. Also in family history Sarah was said to have remarried to Frederich Shaw. Sue okla1915@aol.com

Hi Harlan, No, it doesn't look like we have a match, but those books on the Scotch-Irish certainly sound interesting. I'd like to read those at some point.

John Blakely married Rachel Orr. Margaret Blakely born 1758 died Feb 27 1844, buried Clinton, Laurens Co. Margaret Blakely married John Copeland SR, son of George. I show John born PA or Ireland. They had a son John married Nancy Jennie Mills, they had a daughter Mary Polly Copeland married Joseph Neighbors. Mary Poly buried Hurricane Cem, Clinton Laurens Co. Their daughter Margaret Neighbors, my dad's Great Grandmother. She had some land distributed. I only know this because my father still had the letter 50 years later.

Hi Christopher, This is what I have about John and Margaret (it refers to his dad as being George and I also included notes on John & Margaret's son John ll and his wife Nancy Mills): At the Washington Memorial Library in Macon, I found a book called Laurens County, South Carolina Wills 1784-1840 by Elliot. It stated: Page 182 16 Oct 1826 Will of John Copeland, dec’d. Not enough witnesses signed and could not be admitted to be proven. James Copeland took oath as adm. Saml. Copland and Jno. Copland, sur. Page 186 11Nov 1826 Inv. Of Estate of John Copeland, dec’d by Wm Gambell, Henry Hill and John Lyon, James Copeland adm. 10 Nov 1826. Sale Bill, Pur.: Margret Copeland, Jesse Johnston, James Little, Jno. Copeland (forgot to get the page #) 29 June 1822 Will of James Underwood Sons: William, Robert, John, James, and Matthew M: daughters: Jane and Mary; step daughter: Nancy Copeland, dec’d son Isaac Underwood; beloved wife (not named). Son James Underwood and son in law John Blakely, exrs. Wit: Robt. Creswill, Jno. H. Davis and Watts Deere. P 154 18 Nov 1823 Will proven and executorship of estate of James Underwood, dec’d by James Underwood and John Blakely. Wit: Robt. Creswill P 157 24 Nov 1823 Appraisal of estate of James Underwood dec’d by Jesse Johnston, Henry Shell and Wm. Blakely. 18 Dec 1823. Sale Bill. James Underwood (Jr.) and John Blakely, exrs. John Copeland and James Underwood must have been appraiser since their names appear on numerous wills as either appraising or doing inventory . There must have been another John Copeland because I also found: (forgot to get page # but it's close to 138) 3 Sept 1821 Estate of John Coplen, dec’d. Adm. To Jesse Johnston. Sec: Wm. Park and Jno. Bryons Page 138 4 Oct 1821 Appraisal of estate of John Copeland, dec’d by Henry Shell, Jas. Underwood and Jas-----; 4 Oct 1821 Estate Sale. Jesse Johnston, adm. Notes due dec’d: Benj Saxon, John Abel, Chas. Blakely, Sl. Leek, Jas. Copling, Jas. Adair, Saml. Copling. Another book I looked at was Laurens County, South Carolina Cemeteries V. 1-2 by Col. James Leland Bolt and Margaret Eltinge Bolt (1983) In the Duncan Creek Church Cemetery it states: [John Copeland, Sr. died Sept 7, 1826, aged about 78 years (born about 1748 in Ireland) [Margaret (Blakely) Copeland, consort of John Copeland, Sr., died Feb 27, 1844, aged about 86 years. John ll and Nancy Mills weren’t mentioned in the section on Hurricane Baptist Church but it did mention unreadable stones, so that dedication of the new stone must have taken place after this book was written in 1983. In Old Fields Presbyterian Church Cemetery (Volume 1 Page 127) there is a James Mills who lived from 1804-1846. I wonder if this could be a brother of Nancy since she was born in 1789! There were more Mills there but none of the dates were close to our Mary or Nancy Mills. The last book I had time to start looking at was Abstracts of Early Records of Laurens County South Carolina 1785-1820 compiled by Sara M Nash. I need to get that one again next time I go to the library. In Deed Book C I found: Page 19 1/26/1774-6/19/1789. Wm. Arthur to Geo. Copeland for £200, 200a on Beaverdam Cr. of Little R; Craven Co. Wit: Robert Tweedy, Wm. Pulliam; aff. Of Capt. Chas. Simmons, Wm. Tweedy & Robert Spence that Robt. Tweedy is Deceased, Silvanus Walker, J.P. 6/9/1789. Aff of Jonathan Downs Esq. That the above conv.

Wit: Marshall Franks, Abraham Neighbours. Joshua Saxon, J.P. I’m not sure what you’re allowed to copy at the library, so I handwrote all of this, do you know if they frown upon copying land records, etc? I haven’t gone to the library to research much before, so I don’t know the rules. Also, do you know if the handwritten records are available at the archives or where the best place is to look for them. Guess this is all for today. Enjoy!!
