This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Copeland Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ikJ.2ACIB/1456.1 Message Board Post: David, You mentioned in the last paragraph that many of the Chester County Copelands moved toward York County. Do you know of any connection between the Copelands mentioned in your message and Richard Copeland, Philip Copeland, or Thomas Copeland, all who resided in Strasburg Township, Lancaster County, PA in late 1700's to early 1800's? I suspect that Philip Copeland is Thomas Copeland's father, but have no proof. Thanks, Don
