Richard COPPOCK 2 3 4
- Born: Bef 1526, of Keckwick, Chester, ENG
- Marriage: Ellen 1
- Died: 1592
 General Notes:
A Richard Coppck appeared in a suit for recovery of Lands in Allricham, Northenden, co. Cheshire, England in 1546 in the Plea Rolls. That would estimate his birth date as previous to 1526, and a possible contemporary of Geoffery Coppock, also of Cheshire.
Annie Natalelli-Waloszek has a copy of the original and very hard to read will of Richard of Keckwicke, d 1592. He might be this same Richard who was in Northenden in 1546, though this is a guess. She transcribes it as follows: "Richard of Keckwicke 1592, wife Ellen, bros John & (rambo, cambo, cante, cance) ............ Anno Dei 1591, I Richard Coppocke of Keckwicke......(sicke of bodie but of perfecte memory, laud) & praise be to almighty god...

He was listed as a husbandman or farmer at the time of his death. It is conjecture on her part that the Richard who married Margaret is the son of the Richard who died in 1592, because the age is correct and they both were of Keckwick. (C-2250E) 5 6
