COPELAND FAMILY HISTORY-THE GRANDCHILDREN and descendants OF AGNES LOWERY AND ISAAC COPELAND

I have heard from several people interested in this family and I am happy to hear from readers that they are finding my site useful.

I apologize for the extraordinarily long delay in completing this post. I have heard from several people interested in this family and I am happy to hear from readers that they are finding my site useful. In our last post we had started our look at the grandchildren of Agnes Lowery and Isaac Copeland. We have completed a look at the children of Mary Copeland and Samuel Cochrane.
