COPPOCK, Joseph Cothran ^{1 2 3}

  General Notes:

He was born in a log cabin which still stood near Ludlow Falls, Miami Co., Ohioin the 1950s when the centennial history of the area was published. It might still be the log cabin standing there when I last visited in 2006. Joseph bought old Marmaduke's farm. He is in the 1840 Newton Twp., Miami Co., Ohio census with 3 sons under age 5, 1 son from age 5-10, 1 son from 15 to 20, and he was between 20 and 30 years of age. His wife was between 20 and 30 and they had no daughters listed. Later, he and his wife moved to Pleasant Hill where he owned a flour and saw mill. He had also learned the occupation of smithing at an early age from his step-father, Henry Coate. He used this skill early in his marriage to make sickles for a living before trying farming and then milling. He was also elected as the Justice of the Peace twice in his lifetime.
