Parents of James A Copeland. born SC. > Thanks,. Ann Ann, I just happen to have the pension application of Rebecca, widow of Alexander Copeland. I ordered it because I knew that it referenced my ancestor, William Moore. Rebecca stated on 3 Nov 1849 that she was about 92. Making her birth year, 1857. And that Alexander died 2 Mar 1836 at an advanced age. They were married in 1777, and the eldest child, James was born 17 Sep 1778 and the second child, Charles was born 24 Aug 1780. Rebecca died in Nov, 1851 (one place says Oct 1851). No place of birth stated. Julia French Wood
