Posted on: Lancaster County, SC Query Forum Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Lancaster?read=1224 Surname: COPELAND, MAHAFFY, MCCOY, WEST ------------------------- I am trying to find siblings of my grandfather, Thomas Ripley COPELAND Jr. (b. 1882- d. 1936) The 1880 Census for Buffalo Twnsp, Kershaw Co, SC indicates the following: Copeland, R.T., age 34 J.A., wife, age 35 L.L., son, age 9 E.J., son, age 7 (I know this is John E.) A.J., dau, age 5 S.M., dau, age 3 J.S., dau, age 1 (name Lizzie I think) The census taker used initials only and appears to have listed them backward from what one would expect. My gr grandfather was Thomas Ripley COPELAND and his wife ArJane BRANNON. I spoke with Harold Copeland of Bethune and he remembers my great aunts marrying WEST, MAHAFFY, and MCCOY. My grandfather and a twin sister, Arjane, were born in 1882. Arjane married Jess Horton. My grandfather later moved to Lancaster Co., so may his siblings. Any assistance greatly appreciated.
