Hi List, this is for Pam - The World is getting smaller with Quaker records. I found a Job Messer 1790 Concord, twp , Delaware CO PA and as you all know Delaware CO was Chester CO PA 1789. Job Messer has 1 male at least 16, 4 males under 16 and 5 white females he is listed next to Joshua Cloud. Bradford PA MMs - John Mercer son of Solomon & Oliver ( Pyle ?? ) marr. Hephzibah Simcock 18.10.1798 Bradford, MM she dau. of Mathias Simcock & Ann of West Bradford. At this wedding are 60 people with Samuel Coope son of John & Charity, Margaret Coope, Abiah Cope son of Samuel Cope & Deborah Parke, & Abiah's wife Jane Morris , Daniel Mercer, Rachel Mercer, Gideon Wickersham, Stephen Harlan. John Mercer above is at the wedding of Edith COPE to Benjamin Bailey 27.4.1797 Bradford, PA MM. Benjamin Bailey's parents are Isacc Bailey and Hannah-note: look for a connection to the Joel Bailey family I sent out. Edith Cope is a dau. of Nathan Cope & Amy Bane and Nathan Cope is a son of John & Charity Cope. 1850 Fairfield, Columbiana CO Ohio page 102- Isreal Cope 67 PA wife Elizabeth Dixson 63 PA - there are 17 Quaker Cope desc.s on this county census. Isreal Cope is the son of John Cope & Mary Dixson marr. 1760 and this John Cope is a son of John & Charity Cope. Page 103- Simon Cope 50 PA & Rachel Pritchett 42 he is the son of John Cope & Ruth Dixson and this John is the son of John Cope & Mary Dickinson . John Cope here was married first to Grace Cloud marr. 2 June 1751 Old Swede Church a nonquaker marriage because she was pregnet at the time of marriage and the Bradford, PA records show this . John got dismissed but was granted back into the faith later. This is the Cope family I have a 36 of 37 Male COPE DNA match with. Daniel MERCER 84 PA wife Sarah 64 PA Daniel Mercer 67 PA & Elizabeth 45 PA . I found the Copes' above on a copy of this county in my local library and all of these Copes' are listed in the Gilbert Cope family history pub, 1861 . There are 116 Ohio Cope families listed in Gilbert Cope's family book 1861 and not to be confused with his 1881 book. FYI- many Chester, DE Quakers were married out of unity and are found in the Old Swede marriage book for DE because the Quakers would not give permission for them to marry or the wife was pregnet as Iam finding out now..
