Notes for William Copeland:
William and Mary Copeland, who came probably from Glasgow, Scotland and settled in what is now Middlesex County (then Lancaster County), Virginia, on the south bank of the Rappahannock River prior to 1650.
A land patent was issued to Sir Thomas Luntsford on October 24, 1650 for 3,423 acres "lying on a bay on the south side of the Rappahannock River" for the "transport of 65 persons," including William (#1) and Mary Copeland.
The name Copeland means "bought land" and was originally used by persons who lived in these specific districts in these Scottish border counties. By the 17th century, the name was also found in Lancashire, Yorkshire, and London, in England, and in Galloway, Ayrshire, Dumfrieshire, and Glasgow, in Scotland.
William and Mary immigrated to the south side of the Rappahannock River into what was then Lancaster Co. Va. (now Middlesex Co.)
Based on Lancaster Co, Va. records, Will (as he was called) was a carpenter.
In 1655 he bought 537 acres of land "on the S. side of the Rappahannock River and on the N. side of Sunderland Creek, bordering land of Richard Lewis" from Daniel and Elizabeth Welsh.
In 1633 Will Copeland was appointed Constable of Lancaster County in the portion south of the Rappahannock, which became Middlesex County in 1673. He was living there in 1688 and died there probably c. 1700.
William (#1) Copeland's first wife, Mary, apparently died c. 1660, and he then married Grace. William and Grace, had two sons, both of whom were christened in Christ Church, Middlesex County, Virginia. Their birth dates were recorded in the Parish Register.
