FHL# 1307622The Copper Family 1650-1981 says that Joseph Copper was a patriot
of the Revolutionary period.He died in Pennsylvania at the age
of 104.This history contains a pedigree that states that Joseph
wasdescended from one of the three sons of George Copper and
of Southmark, England and Mary Moss of Kent Co., Maryland.
fiche# 6048670Index to Henry R. Baldwin Genealogical Records of Eastern Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania - this index indicates that Joseph
Copper Sr., along with his brother Nathaniel and sons Joseph,
Jr., Alexander, Michael and Nathaniel moved from Fayette Co.,
Pa to Taylor Twp., Lawrence Co., Pa in about 1800.This
history gives Joseph's birthdate as 1710 and says that he
lived to be 103, dying in 1813.If this date is correct, he
would have been 90 years old when they left Fayette Co., Pa.
and he would have been quite elderly when some of his sons
were born.
Perhaps there is a Joseph I, born in 1710, who was his father
as "The Copper Family" 1650-1981 indicates.These dates seem
more realistic.
