Bear in mind that this stone is a recreation. The original is not legible.

Ed, Do you know when or about this recreated stone was made? Was the original still legible at the time? That there even IS an original from 1732 is a red flag to me. What is the earliest date of an original stone? I realize Cople Parish records before 1940 are destroyed (at least I think that is what you once told me, perhaps you can expand on that here.)
