Robert Joplin (Choplin) B. Apr 18. 1811. Married Sally Ann Winston Sept 12 1835 in Franklin Co NC. I need help in finding Robert's Parents. (All leads, dates, names & etc lead to Mordecai Joplin, son of James and Lydia Mobley Joplin. Mordecia Joplin married Nancy Lee in Wake Co NC June 20 1803. But we haven't been able to prove by any records) Mordecai Joplin died Dec 3 1814 at Norfolk VA while serving active duty in Capt. John Green Co. of Infantry. 1st Regiment NC Milita, leaving his wife and 6 small children. Nancy asked the court for help to feed these 6 small children. Grandmother Lydia in her will left Mordecai's share to his 6 children. Names of these 6 children may or maynot prove my Robert's parents but it sure would help in my search. The name is spelled many ways. Joplin, Joppling, Choplin, Chaplin, etc and found in Franklin. Yadkin and Wake Counties in NC. Please help ,it would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks Marilyn
