JAY, Anna ^{2 3 4 5 6}

  General Notes:

Anne is listed as the daughter of William and Elizabeth Jay in Medlin's "Quakers of SC and Georgia." (C-265) She is listed 9th in her father's will. Anna was left to raise seven children when her husband John died. She brought them to Miami Co., Ohio before 1809. Anna Jay Coppock bound her son, Layton, apparently as an indentured servant or apprentice in 1826 to Henry Coate of Miami Co., Ohio. Deed Bk.5, p. 614. (C-955, E)

Her birth date and death dates are listed with 7 year differences, indicating to me that her birth date was calculated from her death date. One set of birth and death dates for her are Apr 25, 1765 in Newberry Co., SC and Apr 9, 1821 in Miami Co., Ohio Another set are May 5, 1772 and Apr 9, 1828 in Miami Co., Ohio I do not know which is correct at this point, though the 1772 date more closely puts her into the 9th child position in her father's will. (C-2109)

Anna married John COPPOCK Jr., son of John COPPOCK and Abigail (Skillern) SCHELLENGER, on Jan 7, 1790 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA.¹ (John COPPOCK Jr. was born on Aug 20, 1766 in , , MD, USA ⁷ and died on Apr 9, 1828 in , Miami, OH, USA ⁸.)
