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/1594 Message Board Post: In 1828 or '29 a METHODIST class was formed, Hon. Judah Dana and family becoming prominent members. Through his invitation Methodist preachers held regular services in the old Academy building which were' largely attended. Rev. David Copeland was appointed to the new Circuit in 1829, including also Conway and Bartlett. I am not related to these people, just passing on this information, which comes from a webpage titled "Fryeburg Churches." The link for the site is listed below.
