Jim Davis 4/11/01
I feel your pain Jim. I'm off the next 6 days and I plan to work on this as hard as I can. Your Ambrose, my John and that Reuben Copeland came from South Carolina to Tennessee through that narrow window of 1805 - 1809 that I have set up. It would seem likely that there is a relation. I will let you know if I knock that brick wall down.
I have a couple of clues for you and others;
I have a statement taken from the daughter of a Zachariah Mc George b: 1827TN - 1907TX. He said he came to Texas in the 1850's with the Copeland's in a caravan of 17 wagons and 19 slaves. His father was a very early settler in TN, he was in the Rev. war and raised a large family. At age 70 he married Zachariah's mother, she was a niece of the Copeland's, I don't know if he meant the niece of my g-g-g-grandfather John Copeland or my g-g-grandfather Austin Copeland. John stayed in Franklin Co., AL (now Colbert) and Austin came to Texas and settled in what is now Lake O' the Pines, Copeland Creek, Harrison Co., TX. Zach said hisfather died when he was about 12, the other children disowned him and his mother so they went back to stay with the Copelands. His mother died soon after, he worked for the Copelands as a slave overseer, he also worked some for the Mc George's in TN. He is on the 1850 Grundy Co., TN in the household of Lorenzo D. Lynch as a labor. Sorry I'm so long winded, but do you have a Mc George connection?
Here is another thread I hope will help me unravel this mystery. My g-grandfather's name is Robert Goodloe Copeland b: 1839 AL. On the 1840 just a few lines up from his father and uncle is Robert A. Goodloe. I don't know what the connection there is ... but it IS there. I have researched that Goodloe, his full name was Robert Atlas Goodloe b: 1814, his father was David Short Goodloe b: 1776, his father was Capt. Robert Goodloe b: 1741 and his father was George Goodloe b: 1701.
I don't like to think my family had slaves, but there are some free blacks named Copeland working for my my Family on the 1870 Harrison Co., TX Census. Both Austin and his father John are listed as Planters on the 1850 Franklin Co., Alabama census. While Austin's brothers are listed as Farmers. Austin bought land 4 times in AL totaling over 600 acres.
Thanks for your time Jim, drop me a line if you run up on something.
