Where did you get that info on Mary? Who was she married to? I'm working on a Copeland line in Alabama. William Copeland married Nancy Thompson abt 1888 in Lawrence Co. Do you have any further info? Nancy
On the 1850 census for Montgomery Co AL, there is a "COPLAN" family which shows Mary and 4 children. In 1850 she does not know her birth state, but by 1860 she remembers that it was SC, and the census man spells her name right. dotsicle
