Jim, I agree with you that most likely Zacheus Copeland lived his whole life in Jefferson Co. TN.On Monday, 3 Mar 1845, the Last Will and Testament of Zacheus Copeland, deceased, was presented in court for probate (recorded on page 56, Minutes Book 11, Jefferson Co. TN).
My ancestor is his brother, Ricketts Copeland (died MS), and many of his descendants did end up in Texas. Another brother, Nicholas, arrived earlier during Republic of Texas era. They all ended up in the same general area, Leon & Robertson Co's.I am from Leon Co. & have researched Copeland's in both Leon & Robertson Co's and have seen no evidence that your Zacheus lived there.
