His son Fredrick was born in oberlin. I met Fredricks descendent in Oberlin at a family reunion she put together. she had just started tracing the family roots and had alot of information. she told me that John Sr. had a brother and sister from NC i believe the brothers name was thomas. I need to search my records for the info. did you ever log onto the oberlin college library. check their archives. type in the copeland name. they have some info on the family and even some letters john wrote to his parents while he was in jail awaiting his execution. If you find anything else about the NC line please email me or post a message. thanks nancy
