Surnames: Copeland and Ruble Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ikJ.2ACIB/1251.1 Message Board Post: I had a great aunt named Eliza Copeland who had a daughter named Elizabeth and a son named John. She had a sister-in-law named Fannie Copeland. Eliza was married to John H. Copeland in Texas but was a widow in the 1890's. I have not been able to find any ancestors of these Copelands from Texas. Her brother-in-law, Frederick Copeland married Matilde Ruble in Missouri. Are these your Copelands?
