Descendants of Ralph & Mary (Byram) Copper ~ Pennsylvania

StacyeGenea — 2009-10-05 06:06:42Z

I am starting research my Copper family line. I descend from Martha Copper (born 1811) who married David Brothers in Beaver County, PA in 1837. Martha was the daughter of Ralph (born ca. 1773) and Mary Byram Copper (born 1774). Martha Copper Brothers was my Great-Great -Great Grandmother.

I have seen the Copper Family Website and read about the origins of the family in Kent County, Maryland. Am wondering if there might be any other direct descendants on this board. Any help appreciated.

BOARDMAN, Ohio – A funeral Mass will be held Saturday May 30, 2009, at 10 a.m. at St. Luke Catholic Church for Dr. Beverly A. Copper-Butler, formerly of Toledo, who made her transition from earth to heaven on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, after a lengthy and courageous battle with ALS.

Bev, as she was affectionately known, was born and raised in Plainfield, N.J. She was the daughter of the late Isaac J. and Anne E. Jordan Copper.

She attended Findlay University, where she received her B.S. degree. Bev developed a strong quest for education and was driven by her own desire to learn and share her experiences and findings in education. During her 32 years of teaching elementary school in the Toledo Public School System, she was always searching for new ideas and techniques to benefit the teachers and students. She earned a Permanent Teaching Certification, Grades 1-8 Reading Teacher’s Certification, Elementary Principal Certification and Elementary School Supervisor’s Certification. She received her Master’s Degrees and Specialist Degrees from Toledo University. Receiving a scholarship to The Ohio State University, she studied cultural diversity focusing on Middle Eastern Culture. Bev was also the recipient of a scholarship to NASA, which allowed her to become Luna certified This gave her the opportunity to bring the “moon rocks” back for the enlightenment of the city of Toledo. Bev earned her Ph.D. in Education from Walden University, having her dissertation, ”Parental Participation in Education,” published in 2008.

Bev was well known for her skills as a Grant writer, directing monies into Ohio for the benefit of education for all of Toledo’s City Schools. She was invited to work in the TAPESTRIES project as a science support teacher for several schools for over five years. She was responsible for team teaching in her district and for professional and curriculum development.

She was a presenter of Social Studies, Science, and Language Arts In-service sessions. She won the honor of being named a Martha Holden Jennings Scholar.

Bev spent many years supporting and guiding practice teachers. She was very instrumental in developing the HOSTS program, which proved to be very beneficial to the students throughout the entire city. She also was an input liaison for many book companies when they designed new editions of their social studies textbooks.

She was a member of Phi Delta Kappa, an educational fraternity; Toledo Federation of Teachers; Toledo Area Writing Project; National Association of Mathematics; and National Association of Black School Educators. She was a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.; and the KISS Chapter of Toledo for the Red Hats Society. In 2007, Bev was inducted into the Music Hall of Fame at Central Catholic High School, Toledo, for her involvement as a parent.

Before coming to this area, Bev was a member of St. Patrick’s of Heather Downs, Toledo, and was also an active member of St. Luke Catholic Church in Boardman.

In addition to her mother, of Boardman, Bev leaves to cherish her memory a devoted and supportive son, Stephen A. Copper-Butler of Erie, Pa.; her special gift and sister, Pam (Kevin) Parrish of Boardman; a loving brother, Dr. Derrick “TC” Copper of Heidelberg, Germany; a nephew and godson, Brian Parrish of Columbus; a niece and goddaughter, Autumn Parrish of Boardman; and a host of friends and relatives.

She was preceded in death by her father, Isaac J. Copper.

Calling hours will be held today, May 29, 2009, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Home, Boardman-Canfield Chapel and Saturday from 9 to 10 a.m. at St. Luke Catholic Church.

Interment will be at Franklin Memorial Park in Franklin Park, N.J.

Jane Copper, Kent County

jwdavis561 — 2008-03-20 01:27:40Z

Does anyone with a "Copper" tree have a Jane Copper, born in 1768, married to any Copper man from the Kent County area? She had a son George born 1793, and was living with her grandson George T. in the 1850 census.
She was living alone in the 1830 census, so whoever she was married to was dead by 1830.

I was wondering if you had any information on Cyrus Copper(b ca 1835) from Kent Co? I have been trying to figure out who his parents are. I believe William Copper to be his grandfather, but haven't been able to prove it. Any info you could provide would be great!

Copper family

sck11415 — 2008-02-05 04:55:35Z

I am trying to research Cyrus Copper (my gg-grandfather), born in MD abt 1835 . He was married to Drusilla Shearlock who was born in MD abt 1838. 1870 Census shows 5 children: John, William, Susan, George, Henry and Emma. Henry Copper (my g-grandfather) was born abt 1866 in Baltimore, MD. He married Anna Marie Rehmert, born about 1870, Henry Copper died in 1899. 1900 census shows 5 children: John, Betha, Cyrus, Maria and Harry. Cyrus, born 6/29/1895 in Baltimore, MD. was my grandfather. He married Anna Geschwind and they had two daughters Charlotte and Anna (my mother). Cyrus died 2/11/1934 in Queens, NY. Does anybody out there know about this lineage? I would like to exchange any information that you might have. I can be contacted via email at stevenkulikowski@hotmail.com.

Hi;

Just seen your message, (though a bit late I'll admit). I've only just started researching my mother's side of the family, (the Coppers). I've managed with reasonable certainty to get back to the late 18th century. My mother and ancestors all originate from the West Brom area but the earliest records show the lineage coming from Winson Green. May be there is data we can both swap that may iron out some of the creases.

regards

Tim

chadcopper19 — 2007-11-14 10:10:22Z

did you find out anything about the coppers from maryland. i believe if the walter who you said was your grandfather is the "walt and barb" are my great aunt and uncle. my grandfather was charles e copper I which was walts brother and my father was charles e copper II and im charles e copper the III and my son who isnt quite a year is charles e copper the IV. im interested in the genealogy in the copper family and it really seems that any coppers are related to each other not so much as say smiths or something...

AG21015 — 2007-10-04 19:06:41Z

Cass,

We have been able to research back to our George Copper born ca 1668. Where he was born we do not know. We suspect he was born in England but so far the proof of that eludes us. The first that we find him is in Kent County, Maryland 1688, at about the age of 19 or 20. There is an Elizabeth Copper who died in Maryland ca 1723/24 that we think was his mother but again the proof is yet to be found.

The John Copper that I thought you might be refering to was here too early to be your John but just in case it might be of some help here are some things found about him:
Widow Jane Copper had a son John Copper.
Widow Copper married Robert Willmot
Robert Willmot died 1696 in Baltimore County, Maryland.
Jane Copper Willmot died after 09 May 1696.
John Copper married Sarah (last name unknown) prior to 05 Mar 1686.
John and Sarah are named in the will of Henry Parker, His probate is found in Talbot County, Maryland 12 Jul 1684.
John Copper of Baltimore County, Maryland was age 21 in 1728.
Born to a John & Betsy Copper on 28 Jun 1857 was Nancy & Harriet Copper.

Sorry I couldn't be of any help to you ~ Ann

Sandi,
On 27 Nov 2005 you wrote "I am searching for the siblings and ancestors of Samuel G Copper, born 1801 in Beaver Co., Penn & emigrated to Ohio and finally Indiana. He was married to Christina Gaylor and Fannie Ninerick."

I have Samuel Glasgow Copper born 03 Feb 1802 in Pennsylvania. He married Fanny M Ninerick.
Children were:
01) Rachel Copper born ca 1828
02) Samuel Copper born ca 1830
03) John Copper born ca 1833
04) Rice Copper born ca 1835
05) Mary Copper born ca 1837
06) Corish Copper born ca 1840
07) Sophia Copper born ca 1843
08) Rebecca Copper born ca 1848

If this is the family you are researching please contact me by regular e-mail.

Re: George C. Copper buried in Roger Mills, OK

AG21015 — 2006-06-04 20:23:05Z

Sandi,

A guess would be that you have found the grave of Cornish COPPER, son of Samuel Glasgow COPPER (1802-1866) and Fanny Martha NINERICK (ca 1802-aft 1870). Cornish COPPER was married to Emily Jane SHINN.

Cornish and Emily resided in Perry - Monroe County - Indiana in 1870 and then they resided in Sandborn Twp - Knox County - Indiana in 1880. Some of the children can be found in Roger Mills County, OK later on.

I am not from this direct line so I do not have exact dates but this is the only COPPER family that I know of who resided at any time in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. I have the birth date of Cornish COPPER as ca 1840 ~ which is close to the 1843 you have and I have no death information about him. Did you also find the grave of Emily J COPPER?

If you are interested please contact me off line.

Thanks ~ Ann

Do you know the occupation of this Nathaniel? I am trying to find out more about the people he had the suits against to see if I can find out something about Thomas Crafts.
Thought a Copper researcher may have something on Nathaniel Copper in this area and time frame.

Margaret Ella (Bowden) Copper

Does anyone have any info on my g-g-grandmother Margaret. Her parents were Samuel and Sarah Bowden. She was born in Maryland, married Ezra W. Copper in Baltimore in 1888. They moved to Pendleton, Indiana shortly thereafter. They moved to Westmoreland Co. PA between 1900-1905. By 1910, they were divorced and Margaret was living in Carroll Co., MD. She died in 1926, supposedly in Baltimore. Any info on the separation/divorce would be appreciated.And what she was doing between 1910 until her death. I can't locate her on the 1920 census.

Re: Copper's-Kent County MD

heidunn04 — 2007-06-05 20:23:29Z

I am descended from Cyrus Copper (my 3X great-grandfather). I also thought the census of 1850 said Annette Bryan, but upon closer inspection, it actually says Anne M. Bryan. By, the way, do you have any information on who Cyrus' parents are? I suspect William is his grandfather, since no children are listed under William on the 1840 census. Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated.

George Cornish Copper & Ted Copper

hugabug2 — 2005-12-18 05:16:53Z

George & Ted are sons of Cornish Copper (son of Samuel Glasgow Copper) I am the descendant of another little known son of Cornish, John E. Copper.

George C. was born Jun 4, 1880. He was born in either MI or IN. He married Sarah Chandler Herring and had 2 daughters, Myrtle & Rachel. He separated from his wife approximately 1918 and subsequently divorced. Myrtle stated that she and her sister went to his funeral in Arkansas in 1955. I have not been able to find him in the census since 1910. The last document I have been able to come up with is his 1918 draft registration. He was doing factory work in Mich, but registered in Bloomfield, MO. If anyone has any info on him after 1918, I would appreciate it.

Now for Ted. I don't have much information on him, other than what I know from a letter written by Myrtle. She stated that he married Sally, and they had 2 children, a daughter name Ruth and a son named James. They were settled in Marked Tree, AR in 1925. I have never been able to find him in any census. He was most likely born in IN. If anyone has any info on him, I would love to hear from you.

I have quite a few family photos, and would be happy to share them.

Thanks,
Sandi
