Greetings all!! It appears that this list is full of Coplen/Copeland researchers. :-) The family names that I am reserching is POWELL, BRITTON, COPLEN/COPELAND, and MOORE. POWELL--I am researching William Jasper Powell and his wife Mary Elizabeth Britton. They left Heard Co, GA in the early 1870's with their 9 children and settled in Union Parish (later became Lincoln Parish). Mary died in the 1870's and William married Elizabeth Edwards (widow of Rubin Edwards) in 1879 and soon moved to Texas taking only his youngest son and 3 of her children with them. I am still trying to learn what became of some of the POWELL children. The oldest, Buena Vista Jane, married James FOMBY. They went to Texas in their later years, but I don't know when or where they died or where they are buried. The other daughters: Virginia (married Hiram BURSON--moved to Texas), Martha Texana (married Joseph Jackson EDWARDS, her step-brother--moved to Texas), Elovena (I have been told married Wash CLARK--no more info), and Purla (married ? EDISON--no more info). The sons were Leroy (married first Bertha HAMILTON, moved to Texas and married two more times), William Emanuel (no more info), John Thomas (married Ida May FULLER, Annie COPLEN, and Nina SHAW--then moved to Texas), and Joseph Edward (went to Texas with his father and married in Runnels Co TX). BRITTON--Mary Elizabeth Powell's brother was John J Britton. He and his wife, Amanda Bays, came from Troup/Heard Co GA. John and his wife did move to Texas around 1890, but it appears that they probably moved back. COPLEN/COPELAND--James Russell Coplen and his wife Sarah Ann EDDY. One of their sons was Demetrius Colvin COPLEN, who was married to Susan MOORE. MOORE--George Washington MOORE and his wife Eliza Ann REED. He married second, Martha Adeline CLARK.
