My name is Richard C. Copeland, Jr. I was born in Chowan County, now living in Greenwood, SC. I am seeking information on my family. I have learned that my greatgrandfather was Andrew Copeland, born around 1842. He married Anna Mariah Jordan 10/18/1860. They had nine children: Many Jane (b - 1861), Esther (b-1863), Machdonia (b-1866), Warren J (b-1868), Sarah C (b-1872), Eli A (b-1875), Alexander (b-1877) and George D (b-after 1877). My grandfather was Alexander L. Copeland . He married Katie Dalphine Byrum Feb 9, 1899. They had two children, Richard C (b-Feb 19, 1903/ d-Apr 17, 1971) and Lillian, My father, Richard married Blannie Reese Byrum (b-Jan 9, 1912/ d-May 19, 1948). I am interested in finding out who my great-great-father was and where he migreated from. Could Adrew be the son of Elisha, Willis or Josiah Copeland who were in Chowan County in the early 1800s. Also, did Andrew have any bother/sisters? Could he have been kin to Alexander, David, Elihue, Joseph, Phineas, Thomas, or Timother who were born about the same decade of Andrew? As to my grandfather Alexander, I am interested in finding out where his father and brothers migrater? I would appreciate any leads on any of the above persons. Thanks. Dick
