Hello Dan and Richard, I too am descended from Aaron Coppock. When I lived in England I visited the Cheshire Record Office at Chester, and also Friends House, Euston Rd., London to look for Coppock information. I believe his father was a John Coppock; I will have to get my file out and review it. I have another ancestor who I believe was a Quaker when he left Gawsworth, Cheshire for the Albemarle Sound area of North Carolina, in the 1680's, one George Low. His Low descendants were later in Randolph Co., NC. I have not been able to look at Cheshire meeting minutes for a certificate of removal, as I found this out long after I had returned to the U.S. Regards, Marilyn Winton Totten > From: treadway@netins.net > To: sylvanus@rahwilliams.orangehome.co.uk; quaker-roots@rootsweb.com > Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2013 21:34:04 -0500 > Subject: Re: [Q-R] Staffordshire & Cheshire Quakers to 1700 > > On Sat, 6 Jul 2013 17:22:29 +0100 > "Richard Sylvanus Williams" <sylvanus@rahwilliams.orangehome.co.uk> > wrote: > > I am researching ALL quaker families in Cheshire and Staffordshire > >up to 1700.
