Hi List , just a quick note before I watch the Superbowl. Daniel Boone wife's Rebecca Bryan grd-parents are on the 1743-1758 Frederick CO VA deed books and so is Rebecca's father Joseph Bryan. Morgan Bryan & Martha Strode are the grd-parents in Frederick CO VA . Morgan Bryan is listed in the 1734-1739 Orange CO BVA court records with Morgan Morgan, Benjamin Borden , John Littler involving the will of Robert Worthington a Quaker . Martha Strode Bryans listed brothers are on the Frederick CO VA deed books and in Berekley CO VA 1787 tax list. Berkeley CO was Frederick CO VA before 1772 and so was Shenandoah CO VA b/4 1772 so look for all kinds of family connections with Frederick CO VA b/4 1772. Morgan Bryan & Richard Beeson from DE and PA are on estates of Mary Bryan Curtis dau. of Morgan 1741 Orange/Frederick CO VA and Morgan Bryan with Richard Beeson has wife Charity GRUBB are on estate Frederick CO VA 1745 of Bryan McNamee. I and a few others believe that George Strode listed as early as 1685 Chester CO PA is related to Martha Strdoe Bryan and may be the uncle. The George Strode is on the 1715 Bradford, PA tax list with John Cope son of Oliver. This George Strode is at the wedding of John Cope & Charity Jefferis 1721. Richard Beeson wife Charity Grubb's mother Frances marr. 2nd Richard Buffington listed on the will of 1697 DE Oliver Cope. Morgan Bryan JR. & wife Mary Forbush - has a 1768 Rowan CO NC tax list with Joseph Bryan & Alylee Linville-parents of Rebecca , William Bryan & Mary BOONE sister of Daniel Boone, William Grant & Elizabeth BOONE sister of Daniel Boone, John Willcockson & Sarah BOONE sister of Daniel Boone, William Linville wife & Eleanor/Ellender Bryan dau. of Morgan & Martha Bryan and William COPE and sons William, John and James Cope -this one I believe is my 4th-grt-father died ca 1825 KY. I have here the Bryan family linking me up with 2 Cope families that should be related and with Cope DNA tests we found 8 of us are related to the Quaker Copes. Gilbert Cope published the Oliver Cope family using mostly son John Cope & Charity Jefferis families. From age 16 to 21 Gilbert Cope compiled this Cope family using mostly Quaker records and writing hundreds of letters to places like Ohio gathering Cope families and related families pub. 1861 Gilbert Cope in 1861 had recorded over 3,000 desc.s of Oliver Cope by 1861 in less than 5 years.
