General Notes: Husband - John Cope


He was a farmer, and at the time of his second marriage was residing in Salisbury township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His exact residence for several years is unknown, but in October, 1784, he moved to Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where he later died. He settled in the Red Lion Valley in Jefferson, where he and his sons owned farms. The greater portion of the Copes moved from Fayette County to New Salem, Columbia County, Ohio. This branch, however, remained.
He retained his birthright in the Society of Friends, always belonging to and faithful to the Society.
