Hello;

I can trace your Royal back to Alexander Copper,son of Nathaniel Copper,I believe.
Nathaniel is my ggggrandfather.
What was your guncle's name.My ggrandfather lived in Ia.for awhile,(Martinsgurg,Keokuk co.). He came from In.originally. He was the son of Joseph,son of Nathaniel.
I hope some of this ties in with your information. Ann Gilmore has a lot more data than I do.

Later
David
