  • Notes 
    • Bartholomew's parents were originally from Wilmslow Parish, in Cheshire, Eng. They moved to Wales for a few years due to the English Civil War where Bartholomew was born. I occassionally have found one condescending listing on his mother. An Internet site at http://www.cs.indiana.edu/hyplan/pwp/ancestor, gives his parents as Benj. Coppock, b. 1610, chr. 10/20/1610 at Wilmslow, Eng. and Elizabeth Curbishley. No sources of the information are listed. (C-703) On an LDS family groups sheet giving the same info for sources it lists, Chester Co. Collections #1, p.80 and PA Genealgoical Society and Vol. 6, p. 127, 131. (C-1266) This last family group sheet was submitted abt 1938. It only lists 3 of his children plus a son Aaron Coppock, b. 1682 in Marple, Chester, PA that I have not seen matched to this family before.

      In either case, he was married in Wilmslow, England at the home of Richard Yarwood in 1678. He seems to have moved back temporarily to Wales as his first son is born there. His third child was born back in Cheshire, England. He emmigrated on the ship "The Freeman of Liverpool" that left port on June 7, 1682. The following goods are listed by his name and I wonder if this was his payment for passage: 1 hhd. qty. 60 lbs. woolen cloth; 40 ells English linen; 1/4 cwt. wrought iron; 7 lbs, haberdashery. His fourth child was born in Pennsylvania. The ship was a fast one as it had docked in Delaware by Aug 6, 1682, George Southern, Master. (C-2228c) Bartholomew was supposedly one of 4 different early Coppocks who immigrated to our country, one of these being a slightly younger Bartholomew (all possible relatives of each other.) In William Penn's original land grants to purchasers from England, Ireland and Scotland, a Bartholomew Coppock is listed twice. The first was dated Mar 20 &21st. The second was dated Apr 4 & 5, 1681, both prior to the emmigration of Penn and his followers to Pennsylvania. On those dates, William Penn of Sussex in England sold 250 acres (in Hightough, Chester Co.?) to one Bartholomew Coppeck and 500 acres to another Bartholomew prior to his emmigration to the colonies from William Penn in "The Annals of Pennsylvania." (see the two Bartholomew's listed below.) (C-1979, 2228e) According to descendants of the Bartholomew whom this biography is about, this Bartholomew was the one that purchased 500 acres from William Penn.

      If this family tradition is true, then he is likely the Bartholomew who owned 800 acres on Crum Creek on a map of Chester Co. (now Delaware) PA, dated 1683. He was a farmer by trade. He seems to have been a witness to a will signed on board the ship Friendship in 1684 (on a return trip?). His neighbors on Crum Creek, PA were also Wilmslow natives. (C-253a) He purchased 300 acres from John Nickerson of Lower Providence on Apr 12, 1687 which is where he resided until his death. John had originally obtained the land from William Penn. Bartholomew Coppeck was from Springfield (PA) at the time of his 1687 purchase. In 1696, he is listed as a neighbor of James Stanfield who was selling 100 acres to Thomas Hope and 100 acres to Henry Haines. That land was in Marple bounded by land of Thomas Massey, Darby Creek, and Henry Haines as well as Bartholomew. According to "The History of Delaware Co., PA", he is the Bartholomew that lived on land on Darby Creek in Marple. (C-2136)

      Our Bartholomew's will was dated July (5th mo.) 10, 1718 and probated March 9, 1718/9. It names his wife, Margaret, three grand-daughters through deceased son Jonathan, daughter-in-law Jane, Jane's brother John Owen of Philadelphia, his son Bartholemew and children Margeret, Rebecca, Sarah, Martha, and Moses. (C-429, 613, 2150) He was listed at near age 73 in the death date of 12/20/1718/1719.

      His will is transcribed as follows: I Bartholomew Coppock of Marble in the county of Chester and Province of Pensylvania being in Reasonable good health of body and of sound and Perfect mind and memory Praise therefore be given to almighty God Do make and ordain this my last will and Testament in manor & form following First and Principally I Commend my Soul into the hands of almighty God that gave it and my body I committ to the earth to be decently buried at the discretion of my Executors hereafter named and as following the Disposition of all such temporal Estates as it hath pleased God to bestow upon me.
