Letter of Opal Lousin to Jean: July 22, 1985.
Please pass this information on to anyone who is interested so that no one else will have the expense to get a copy of this Will, etc. I don't know where I got the information which caused me to write for Andrew Scott's Will in Lancaster Co. but I firmly believe that it is not our Andrew Scott line.
I am enclosing a copy for your use. When son John was executor of the estate in 1794 and again there in Lancaster Co. to sell the 40 acres to Emor Davis in 1829, I don't see how it could possibly be our line. As I understand it and presume it to be more true, there was a John Scott who married Ann Wilson and their son was John Wilson Scott born 29 May 1763 in York Co., Pa. John, the older, took his family to Washington Co., Va. and there younger John enlisted in the Revolutionary War. He married two times as we know and died in 1847 in Illinois. I have received some Grandparent Papers for some of the family descended from the Veteran and together with family sheets furnished by some of the descendats, I think there are differences of opinion. However, I won't take time just now to work on that part of it.This is the copy of above will which Opal speaks of, that she does not believe belongs to our Andrew Scott.

which made it look as if he were still living, Mathew Scott died intestate and so John and Mathew Scott's wife, Alice and daughter Elizabeth, wanted to sell the land for $200.00 to Emor Davis.

LydiaA note also from Robert J. Harry dated 28 December 1984 gives the death date of Aaron as 10-16-1726.
Later records from a researcher on these lines give a more credible date with supporting documentaion. Teresa B. Remsberg, 974 W. 600 S. Apt. 7C, Provo, UT 84601 Tel 801-373-5903.
She writes, "...I have been working hard on the Coppock line, especially trying to confirm conflicting informaiton. It seems fairly certain that Aaron's mother's name was indeed Susan, but I have not been able to verify her last name. LOWE is the most common, "guess", but I haven't seen where anyone has stated a source. There is an excellent series of films in Salt Lake, "Local Cheshire Persons", by Allen Dale of Over Peover, near Knutsford Cheshire, England. He has compiled many family trees for many Cheshire families by searching wills, parish records, cemeteries, etc. One section is "Some information of the Coppock Families of Cheshire compiled about 1960." He does not list a name for Susan, or for Aaron's first wife, Mary.
From that source I have developed a theory to continue the line back 3 more generations. The will of John Coppock dated 1666, indicates that he is the brother of William whose son is John. I think it is possible that this last John could be Aaron's father. John and William's father was John.
Allowing 20 years for generations, that John could be the John found in the Christianing records for 1593, whose father was also named John. This would give us Aaron, John, William, John, John. Granted, it is only speculation, but it is an interesting theory.
I have been trying to confirm the date of Aaron's immigration. I have seen dates from 1698 on, with 1701 being most common. Aaron buried two sons in England in 1697 and 1698. So he could not have immigrated before that. His second marriage took place in 1704, so that narrows the possible time of immigration to 5 years. Further research for that is on my agenda to SLC.
A lot of information has come from HINSHAW'S Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy. A few differences in dates of yours and mine. John and Susan had four other children, according to Christian records. ..... Aaron was
Christianed 6 Feb. 1666, confirmed by Parish records, there were some lines left out of your copy." ....Davis, A Quaker Family, pg. 901
Davis book gives Aaron born in Penn. Miriam Short was his 2nd marriage and her 3rd.
Sumner Family History by George W. Moore gives his birth as 10/25/1662 in England. He died 10/10/1726. He is the son of Moses and Martha Coppock. He is the step-father of Miriam.??WILL of Aaron COPPOCK

Aaron Coppock, Testis:

Samuel Littler
(He had put a caret just after wife - Miriam Coppock) Proved 10th Mo. 1726 (17th or 1728) Aaron Coppock was a Quaker Minister who came on the ship with William Penn in 1682. He married secondly to Miriam Short, they both died in Maryland.From Opal to Betty Holmes, Aug. 1982: .."As for Aaron Coppock, I have a copy of his baptismal certificate from England and his fathers name was John.
I do not know for sure the name of his mother. The Nottingham was Nottingham MM. He had married in England and lost his first wife, Mary, and came to America where he married Miriam Short, a widow with children and they had John who was born in 1708. Miriam married Richard Jones, possibly also had a daughter named Lydia.
The son in law and daughter in law business in his will actually means step-children. Aaron was from Cheshire, England. You can see much more about the Short family in George McCracken's book, "Welcome Passengers, Proved, Disproved and Doubtful." He wrote a derogatory remark about me (Opal) in it which aggravated me so much that I couldn't see straight to finish copying the information. I could not receive a letter addressed to me in Sharon, PA and answer it until my friend at that same address returned from South America and finally forwarded it to me so it was too late and I had no information to give him. We have had a running battle and my blood pressure goes up when I think of him! I have forbidden him to ever mention my name again in any of his publications! My name is getting quite well known in genealogical circles and I don't want that reputation...."There has been a great deal of confusion on the uses of these names and how they fit together. Miriam died on board the Ship the Welcome with William Penn in 1682. See page 572 Sumner family History by George W. Moore.
See Welcome Claimants, by McCracken, page 474
Miriam Short As has been initimated above, not long after the arrival of the Welcome, Miriam Short the younger was married to the Welcom Passenger, George Thompson, by a Luthern Clergyman named Lawrence Carolus Lockenius, and botht he young husband and the Clergyman were charged with violation of the laws of the province. Thompson was before the court on 14 Feb 1682/3 and as no one appeared against him, the charges were dropped. A fuller discussion of these events and the Thompson's subsequent history will be found here, however, that by 6 11mo 1684 Miriam (Short) Thompson had borne a childna dwas in need of public maintenance for herself and the child. It is not certain that George Thompson had died -- he may have deserted her.
Whatever the truth about Thompson, Miriam married, second, at an unknown time and place, William White of New Castle County, wheelwright, whose will dated 22 Dec 1702, probated 14 Sep 1703, names wife Miriam as executrix;
Children Samuel, John, Elizabeth, son in law (stepson) Ralph Tomson (sic: not Semson, as it has been read); witnesses: John Grubb, Frances Grubb, Hugh Bawdon, overseer: John Bailey.
Following the death of William White, Miriam married, third at Chichester 30 9th mo 1704, Aaron Coppock of Aston Township, who moved to Nottingham in 1713. Aaron was born 25 10th mo 1662, died 10 10th mo 1726, leaving a will dated 3 10th mo 1726, probated 17 Dec 1726, naming minor son John; unnamed wife; daughter Lydia Coppock, Miriam Coppock, both unmarried, Sarah Frayser, Martha Robinson (wife of John, who had John, Aaron, Mary, Ruth, Martha, Miriam) Mary Sinclair; sons in law Ralph Thompson, John White, Samuel White; executrix; beloved wife Miriam assisited by Jonas King; signed Aaron Coppock; witnesses: James Wright, Samuel Lightler. Mr. Colket remarks that Sarah Frayser, Martha Robinson and Mary Sinclair were daughters of an earlier wife of Aaron Coppock.
Died on ship, the Welcome, with William Penn. Notes with LDS had a date of after 1709 and says Of Chester, PA. I have a death date of 1691 at sea, maybe was mixed with her mother. LA
“. . . from Gatton, Surrey, just north of the Sussex border. His is the last of the four wills made on the “Welcome” that we possess; its date is September 26. Unmarried, he left £10 to each of the three children - Adam, Miriam, and Anne - of his deceased sister, Miriam Short. He also left them all the goods he had with him on hte “Welcome”. This certainly implied that they were on the ship with him, for what good would household possessions and food in Pennsylvania be to three young people in England? Miriam was certainly on board the “Welcome”, for she married another passenger, Goerge Thompson, a few months after the ship arrived. Ingram’s is the most interesting and the most informative of the four wills. As was usual, he left money to his executors (in the case £10 to John Songhurst and £5 to Thomas Wynne). He also left £2 to David Ogden, one of the witnesses. Even more interesting was his gift of £5 to Jane Batchelor, a young woman of Penn’s household in Sussex and herself the owner of 500 acres of land.pp. 12-13
