'census info: It took some digging but I finally found Henry C Copeland's family in TX in 1860 and in AR in 1850. I also found his and his brother's service in the CSA, too. 1860 Hopkins co TX, Bright Star, pg 190 note: Bright Star is now known or also known as Sulphur Springs *gh Mary Copeland 44 SC George 24 AR Henry 20 AR Columbus 18 AR Adaline 16 AR James 12 AR Annie 10 AR Eldridge 7 TX Annie 2 TX After I found this one I started digging in AR in 1850...that takes a little more doing because the 1850 census is not indexed on Heritage Quest, so I went to each county where I found an index for 1850 in census-online. I looked through all of them...and the very last county that had any Copelands listed was where I found them. They were listed alphabetically and I found them in Scott Co AR. :) 1850 Scott co AR Boone Twp, pg 140b William Copeland 49 NC Mary 37 TN George W 14 AR Henry C 9 AR Christopher C 6 AR [Columbus in 1860 census] Adaline 4 AR James M 3 AR Ann 4/12 This site http://gen.1starnet.com/civilwar/9thinf.htm is where I found Columbus C Copeland age 20 b abt 1841 pvt., Co F enlisted 12 Oct 1861 at Bright Star Henry C. Copeland age 21 b abt 1840 pvt., Co G enlisted 8 Oct 1861 Tarrant I found George W. Copeland in the 4th Regiment, TX Cavalry (4th Mounted Volunteers) at http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm After finding all this I got to wondering "why would Henry go to AL when he couldn't find is family after returning from the war?" So I looked up the 9th infantry and found this: 9th Regiment, Texas Infantry (Maxey's) (Young's) 9th (Maxey's) Infantry Regiment [also called 8th Regiment] was organized during September, 1861. The men were recruited in Galveston and Paris, and Titus, Llano, Collin, and Lamar counties. It moved east of the Mississippi River and saw action at Shiloh and Perryville. Later it was assigned to General P. Smith's and Extor's Brigade. It fought at Murfreesboro, served in Mississippi, then participated in the campaigns of the Army of Tennessee from Chickamauga to Nashville. Ordered to Alabama, it ended the war at Mobile. This regiment lost thirty percent of the 226 engaged at Shiloh and thirty-eight percent of the 323 at Murfreesboro. Few surrendered in May, 1865. Its commanders were Colonels Samuel B. Maxey, Wright A. Stanley, and William H. Young; Lieutenant Colonels William E. Beeson and Miles A. Dillard; and Majors James Burnet, W.M. Harrison, and James H. McReynolds. http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm Since he had finished his service in AL, maybe he liked it there and/or had met the Eubanks family and decided to return. I don't see anything that indicates that his family had ever been there before. It will take some more digging to determine what happened to his family. There is a James B Copeland in 1870 Hunt co TX that is abt the right age to be his brother. Hunt is a neighboring county to Hopkins. this is the census info and some notes a friend and i did.. let me know if we connect.. you can email me any time.. thanks.. carolyn :))

No, Nancy, our Demetrius [Gloria Coplen on this list is married to my cousin Troy] was born 04 June 1847, according to several family Bibles - one census says TN and another says AL.

I don't think our William Moores are the same, Julia. Mine was on the ship Nancy with his family: Moore, William . . . . . . 50 * Listed together in this order (250 acres) Moore, Isobell . . . . . . 51 * Moore, Robert . . . . . . . 18 * (100 acres) Moore, Martha . . . . . . . 16 * (100 acres) Moore, Agnes . . . . . . . 14 * Moore, James . . . . . . . 12 * It was his g-g-g-grandaughter, who was my g-grandmother Susan Annie Moore, who married Demetrius Colvin Copeland, son of James Russell Copeland of TN. This Moore family went from Newberry Co, SC to Perry Co, AL to Union Parish, LA, which is where they got married. So, it's a long shot, and I'm grasping at straws looking for a connection.

The John Copeland of Logan County, KY is NOT the same guy - he came with his father John, brother William and sisters from Ireland on the Brigatine Free Mason in Chalreston SC. They settled in York County, SC and after the war John moved with some other families to KY. This is my line and I have some information on this line. Tonie Keith Las Vegas, NV

Yes, Deloris - thank you. I would very much like a copy. I know this is nuts - trying to work forward to someone, but working back hasn't gotten me anywhere for thirty plus years. I wonder, though, if it is the same person. If he was born in 1760, he would have been 7 at the time of his immigration, and you say the pension application mentions he was 14. I'm pretty sure the John Copeland/Copland on the ship's roster for the Nancy had to be at least 21, because he is listed as "21, and receiving a 100 acre headright."

Karen, Would this be the John Copeland who filed for a Revolutionary War Pension in Logan County, Kentucky in 1834? I'm not researching this person but I have a number of Revolutionary War Pension files I've collected and this is one of them. Your message rang a bell because this John Copeland's pension file actually gave more info about himself than most others I've come across, and he did mention that he was born in Ireland in 1760. He states that at the age of 14, he migrated with his father to America and settled in York County, in what was then the Colony of South Carolina. He enlisted as a volunteer in the Revolutionary War and fought against "the British and the Indians who were causing offensives against the South". If you don't already have a copy, I can email you one, if you would like. Let me know.
