Hi Sherry and Group, I was in Jackson, Breathitt CO KY last May for 4 days of Cope cemetery Clean-up with the South family related to my Copes'. Iam related to everyone in Breathitt CO KY thru James P. Cope ( 1786 VA- 1857 Breathitt CO.) & wife Mary Hammon and James D. Cope ( 1798 VA - 1886 Breathitt CO ) & Elizabeth Crawford. Wiley Cope my 3rd-grt- is the father of James D. Cope and a brother of James P. Cope . Wiley and James P. Cope are sons of James & Elizabeth Cope of 1810-1820 Floyd CO KY. My Cope family are found with many of the Boone allied families in Rowan CO NC 1768 and 1772. I believe my Cope family are from New Castle CO DE 1683-1729 where Oliver Cope is listed 1696/97 by the Stidhams also found in Breathitt CO KY. There are Squire Boone desc.s in Breathitt CO KY and Quaker desc.s from Chester CO PA where a branch of the Cope's are listed 1712 and later. I have the 1810-1820 Clay CO KY census records with Wiley Cope and 1830 Perry CO KY census records with Wiley , James P. ,James D. , John and my 2nd-grt-grd-father Mason Williams Cope listed. Of all of these Copes' my Mason Williams Cope is the only one who went to TX by 1845. Mason W. Cope's son John Miles Cope ( my grt-grd-father ) was born in near Jackson, Breathitt CO KY in 1827 and had a town of Copeville,( was Farmersville twp ) Collin CO TX named for him. The 1768 Rowan CO NC Hunters and Willcocksons who marr. Boones are in Farmersville, TX 1860 - 1880. I have the complete 1840-1870 Breathitt CO KY census records and chart most of the families listed there since most of them are related to me. Sherry- Archibald Calloway Cope ( 1828-1907 ) is a son of James D. Cope brother of my Mason Williams Cope who marr. Anna McCoy 1823 Estill CO KY. David C. Cope
