NC Hi Cope Family , I am going to list some of the info I have on Williamson Cape/Cope starting in 1786 Granville and 1790- 1793 Granville then to 1794- 1800 Wake CO. NC.

I first like to say I Have not found any descendents of Willimson Cape/Cope and I checked the Cape genforum and so far no one has listed this family on that forum.
