First Generation
1. William COPELAND was born about 1618 in England. He immigrated on 25 Oct 1650 to Middlesex Co., VA. Sir
Thomas Lundsford was issued a land patent on the south bank of the Rappahannock River in Lancaster Co., VA on 24 Oct
1650 for 3,423 acres and for the transport of 65 persons including William & Mary Copeland. He was living on 6 Jun 1655
in Lancaster Co., VA. June 6,1655- Lancaster Co., VA- William Copeland, Order to him for 1000 lbs. tobacco in suit vs J.

Dec. 7,1655-Lancaster Co., VA- William Copeland, Security for Robt. Burton, guardian of Jo. Johnson and his brothers and

payments (Essex Co., VA Deeds and Willisa 1699-1701, pg 51. He died before 10 Jun 1701 in Essex Co, VA. The
Copeland line which originated in Virginia provided the proginitors
for my family. It started with William and Mary Copeland, and settled in what is now Middlesex County (then Lancaster
County), Virginia, on the south bank of the
Rappahannock River prior to 1650.
After 1616, every immigrant to Virginia earned a headright for the
person who paid for his or her transportation. This was a right to
patent 50 acres of land; 100 acres if he came by 1616. A land patent was
issued to Sir Thomas Lanksford of Susses, England on October 24, 1650 for 3,423 acres
"lying on a bay on the south side of the Rappahannock River" for the
"transport of 65 persons," including himself and family members and William (#1) and Mary Copeland.

William Copeland (or Will as he was called) was known as a
carpenter in the early years in Virginia.
In 1655 he bought 537 acres of land "on the S. side of the Rappahannock River and on the N. side of Sunderland Creek,
bordering land of Richard Lewis" from Daniel and
Elizabeth Welsh.
In March 9,1663 Will Copeland was appointed Constable of
Lancaster County in the portion south of the Rappahannock, which became
Middlesex County in 1673.

He was living there in 1688
Between 1607 and 1624 there were more than fifty sites occupied on both sides of the James River by individual settlers or
plantations. Under the Charter of 1609, there were to be four political divisions called corporations or cities. Each city was to
be a parish. These city[parishes were James City, Elizabeth City, Charles City, and Herico City. By 1634, these four had
expanded to eight shires which now included these four and Warwick River(Warwick), Warrosquyoake(Isle of Wight),
Charles River(York), Accomack. The parish development we are concerned with here is Charles River Parish, which had the
1
following transformation: Charles River(1634-1643) York(1643) divided into three parishes: Gloucester(1651), New
Kent(1654), and Lancaster(1651).
Lancaster- sub divided into two parishes: Rappanannock in the years of 1656-1692 and Middlesex in 1669. In 1692,
Rappahannock became know as Essex County. By 1721, much of Essex was divided into two addditional counties. These
were Spotsylvania Co., in 1721, in 1734 Orange Co.

Historical and Educational Development of Community
Formerly, the 318 square miles now known as Jefferson County were included in those of Greene County. In 1783 the first
settlers came to Jefferson County, and these included the following men and their families: Robert McFarland, Alexander
Outlaw, Thomas Jarnigin, James Hill, Wesley White, James Randolph, Joseph Copeland, Robert Gentry, and James Hubbard.
The first two men mentioned located in the area known now as Hamblen County. The last seven settled in what is now called
Sevier County. About four miles above the mouth of the Chucky River and on the north side was the site chosen by Captain
Jarnigin for his homestead. James Hill lived about a mile below Captain Jarnigin, and Wesley White settled immediately
opposite Taylor's Bend. Robert Gentry located four miles above Dandridge, and Joseph Copeland seven miles above
Dandridge on the south side of the French Broad River. note; White Pine, in near the Head Waters of Copeland Creek. After
this period of settling during 1783, the population grew rapidly.
Some very important events occurred during the decade following the year 1783. In 1785 the Franklin government divided
the area then known as Greene into three distinct and separate counties. One of the new counties formed by this division was
Caswell, which included the area now known as Jefferson and Sevier counties. Jefferson and Knox counties were created on
June 11, 1792, by Governor Blount.
March 7,1786 Joseph received Grant 103 #117 Entry 783 Bk 63 pg41 [649 acres on Mill Creek in Davidson Co., TN]. This
land was assigend to Sutterling Mayfield
Feb 19,1787 Joseph sells 559 acres on the eastside of the New Hope River to John White for 50 pds.
June 23,1802 -Smith Co., TN
We have some reason to believe that the marking of the boundary line of the county had reference to those parts of Smith
County bounded by the newly formed county of Jackson and by Wilson County. Jackson County was formed in 1801, and
there is no record previous to the above, so far as we have found, to indicate that the boundary line had been established.
Moreover, the next item which reads as follows : "Ordered that William Jones be allowed the sum of fifty-six dollars as
surveyor for running the boundary line between the counties of Smith and Wilson; and also between Smith and Jackson
Counties, as provided by act of Assembly," shows that these were the two lines under consideration. Lewis MacFarland was,
we think, a relative of Dr. Sam MaFarland, of the hospital at Lebanon, Tenn., which bears his name. Some early MaFarlands
in Tennessee, including the following : "July 15, (1791) Issac Pennington and Milligen were killed, and McFarland was
wounded, on the Kentucky Road." "Major McFarland, in 1792, Sept. 27th, was included in the group of officers to have in
charge two regiments of men to fight Indians." His name was John McFarland. Again we read : "Colonel Doherty and
Colonel McFarland, in direct disregard of the orders of the Territorial authorities, raised 180 mounted riflemen, with whom
they invaded the Indian country." "But to provide for the worst, it was settled before hand, that each man, on discharging his
piece (or gun), without stopping to watch the flight of the Indians, should make the best of jos way to Knoxville, lodge
himself in the blockhouse, where 300 muskets had been deposited by the United States, and where two of the oldest citizens
of the fort, John McFarland and Robert Williams, were left behind to run bullets and lead." This was in 1793. An earlier
member of the same family was Robert McFarland. Of him we have the following record : "Jefferson County, as known at
21
present, received its first settlers in this year (1783). These were Robert McFarland, Alexander Outlaw, Thomas Jarnigan,
James Hill, Wesley White, James Randolph, Joseph Copeland, Robert Gentry and James Hubbard." We read also of Robert
McFarland as Sheriff of Jefferson County,Tennessee, in 1792. Four years later he was still Sheriff.
8/31/1818-Joseph Copeland Grant #499. State of NC, John Armstrong required to layoff for Devereaux Guilliam 640 acres.
Given 6/25/1784. Signed John Armstrong.,ET no. 652 to the heirs of Joseph Copeland .
note: Joseph & family may have had to fight the Cherokee Indians for the right to live on the land, for the Cherokee were not
confined to the Cumberland Plateau until the 2nd Treaty of Holston in 1791. By 1800, dozens of new settlers had come to the
"Mountain District",
Meanwhile, the movement West continued. In 1785, a highway was opened between
Knoxville and Nashville, and hundreds of settlers passed through the area.

JEFFERSON COUNTY
Jefferson County was erected on June 11, 1792, by Wm. Blount when governor of the Territory South of the River
Ohio. It was formed from portions of Greene and Hawkins counties and was named in honor of Thomas Jefferson. The first
settlers came in 1783. Among them were: Robert McFarland, Alexander Outlaw,Thos. Jarnagin, James Hill, Wesley White,
James Randolph, Joseph Copeland, Robert Gentry, James Hubbard, Matthew Wallace, James Roddye, Richard Rankin,
Thomas Snoddy, Parmenas Taylor, Hugh Kelso, Adam Meek, and George Doherty, most of whom were prominently
identified with the early history of Tennessee.
Joseph Copeland was one of the first settlers to come to Jefferson County, TN coming there in 1780 with eight other settlers.
He settled seven miles north of Danridge on the South side of the French Broad (River). He later owned 640 acres of land.
October 12, 1793 - Knoxville Gazette - (newspaper article) On the 3rd, , a party of Indians,
consisting of 30, plundered the house of Mr. Copeland on the South bank of French Broad, the family only a few minutes
before passed over to the North side and were eye witnesses to their number and depredation.
JOseph is a DAR Patriot. He is listed in the Centennial Edition of the DAR Patriot index p.6663 as b.1740 d.1816, married to
Sarah; Soldier in Continential Army of North Carolina. He served in the military in 1776 in the Rev War with the North
Carolina Line. He receieved a land grant in Davidson Co., TN on March 17,1785.

"First Settlers"
"By the treaty of Holston, entered into by the United States and the Cherokee Nation in 1791, a district of the country was set
41
apart for the Cherokee, the western boundary of which extended in a south-westerly direction from the south fork of the
Cumberland River, where it intersects with the northern boundary of the State, to the ridge separating the waters of the Duck
and Cumberland Rivers, forty-five miles above Nashville, which line passed through what is now Overton County, about two
and a half miles east of the present town of Livingston. By an act of the General Assembly, in 1798, the line of the Indian
reservation was made the western boundary of Sumner County, which in 1799, was reduced to its constitutional limits, and
the new counties of Smith and Wilson were established: the former of which included all of that part of Overton county west
of the reservation line under the treaty of Holston. Up to this time the Cherokee had been undisputed lord and monarch of all
this section of country, but early in the spring of 1799, Col. Stephen Copeland, a representative of one of the old families of
North Carolina, accompanied by his son Jo, who was afterwards known as Big Jo, left the good old county of Jefferson, to
seek a home in the new country beyond the Indian line. Following an Indian trail over the dark ravines and precipitous cliffs
of the Cumberland mountains, where the venomous serpent and ravenous beast kept their vigils by night, and by day, these
fearless pioneers, laden with the scanty supplies which they had brought with them from Kingston, pursued their lonely
journey. A beautiful cane-break in the valley of the roaring river arrested their attention, and recommended itself as a
desirable location, and there on the farm where the widow Wilson now lives, they pitched their camp, and planted the first
crop of corn that was ever grown in the limits of Overton county. While here Col. Copeland hunted many days and camped
many nights with the famous Indian chief, Nettle Carrier, whom he always remembered as a kind and devoted friend, a
generous and congenial companion, and a nobleman by nature. Nettle Carrier left his camp on the creek which now bears his
name, during that summer, and was never seen more in his old hunting ground, though in 1813, as one of the chiefs and
councilors of the Cherokees, he signed an authority for a turnpike company to open a road through the reservation. After they
were done cultivating their crop, Col. Copeland and his son returned to Jefferson county for the rest of their family." "In the
early part of same year, John Goodpasture and two other young men, whose names I am unable to recall, found their way
from the old Dominion State to the then most inviting country, near where Hilham was afterwards located. They brought with
them three horses and two cows, together with a little salt and meal, which they obtained at Kingston, and extemporized a
home on Buffalo creek, near where Thos. J. Murphy now lives. There they raised a crop, and returned to Virginia for their
families. Not long afterwards other immigrants settled in the north-eastern part of the county, among who were Ned Irons, a
Mr. Biles, and Robert Hill, who located on what is now Iron's creek." "During the whole of this season these pioneers lived
entirely without bread, and yet their fare was sumptuous. They were not long in being educated to the wild meats, and the
buffalo, bear, elk, deer, and turkey were always at their command. They then found that bread could easily be dispensed with,
dried venison, or "jerk," as it was called, taking its place. Big Jo Copeland used to relate, that when his father and himself
stopped at Kingston on their return to East Tennessee, he called for some cornbread, thinking it would be a great luxury; but
when brought, he found it so dry and harsh that he could not swallow it, whereupon he repared to his wallet and substituted
"jerk." And Billy Upton, when his corn began to mature in the fall, made him a mortar and pestle, with which he
manufactured a small quantity of meal, and gave it to his wife, anticipating a royal supper. When supper was announced,
Billy was of course present, but seeing none of the new viand before him, he asked, "Wife, where is the bread?" The good
lady with profound amazement and equal mortification, exclaimed, "The Lord have mercy, William, I clear forgot your
bread!" "But they were not long to live on meat alone; bread followed close in the footsteps of civilization. When they
returned in the fall of 1799, together with many others, among whom was our venerable fellow-citizen Hiram M. Allen, who
when quite a youth, accompanied his father and settled on Flat creek, where he now lives, they found that nature had liberally
responded to their demands, and yielded them a beautiful crop of corn. But as one of the inconveniences consequent upon the
early settlement of a country, they were for a time forced to do their milling at Dixon's Springs, now in Smith county, at a
distance of more than sixty miles. In the same fall the buffalo, as though he was conscious that his presence was no longer
necessary to sustain the thrifty pioneer, retired, with his companion, the red man, still further from the approaching lights of
civilization. From that time a host of immigrants found their way to this new settlement, and staked their fortunes upon its
future destiny. Among these were the Seviers, Windles, Nelsons, Tottens, McDonalds, Mathews, and many other families
which have shed luster, as well upon the name of the State, as that of the county. But Solomon Copeland, who immigrated to
the world the same year, as the son of Col. Stephen Copeland, above all others, deserves particular mention in this
connection, being the first born of his race in the bounds of Overton county."
'County Information'
Overton County was considered Indian Territory until 1783 when the state of North Carolina passed an act erecting the
county of Davidson which extended from the Cumberland Mountain to the Tennessee River. and from the Kentucky Line to
the Duck
River.
In 1786 Davidson county was divided and Sumner County was formed which included the land that is now Overton County.
42
In
1796 the state of Tennessee was formed. In 1801 the county of Jackson was formed from Sumner, this included the now
Overton County. On September 12, 1806 the county known as Oveton was established. It included all of the land now known
as Overton County and all of Fentress County, and a large part of Clay, Putnum, Cumberland, Morgan and Scott Counties
Stephen was a member of the Roaring River Baptist Church. He gave land to build the 12 sided Roaring River Baptist
Church. He is buried in the Roaring River Cemetery.
1806 meeting of Stockton Valley Association of United Baptist met at Roaring River Meeting House- John Raney and
Stephen Copeland were representing Roaring River.
'Tennessee the Volunteer State 1769-1923: Volume 1'
OVERTON COUNTY
Overton County was erected in 1806 from a part of Jackson County and was named in honor of Judge John Overton, an
intimate friend of Andrew Jackson. The earliest settlers were Col. Stephen Copeland and his son, "Big Joe" Copeland. Other
early settlers were: John Goodpasture, father of the distinguished jurist, Judge Jefferson D. Goodpasture, Capt. Jesse Arnold,
Capt. Simeon Hinds, father of the learned chemist and Teacher, Dr. J. I. D. Hinds, of Lebanon; Benjamin Totten, father of
Judge A. W. O. Totten; Moses Fisk, Judge Alvin Cullom, Adam Huntsman, and some descendants of John Sevier.
Stephen, Sr. & son Joseph 'Big Joe' were the first white settlers in Overton Co in the spring of 1795. He was granted 640
acres and chose to settle near the headwaters of the Roaring River. He did not know that the land laid out partly belonged, by
treaty, to the Cherokees. He became good friends with local chief Nettle Carrier (tala-dane-gisks) and was allowed to stay.
His son 'Big Joe' married Nettle Carrier's daughter, Hannah Thacker Ward.(questionable)
Tennessee Land Transactions/Court Cases:
3/8/1780- Joseph Kinhead enters 400 acres on the south side of the Holston River on Bryce Russell's branch lying between
David Hunter's, Joseph Roger's and Stephen Copeland, including the Stinking Creek, grant No.261
July 6,1785, Mill Creek in Davidson Co., TN-Stephen Copeland first found in the Overton area where he assigns 640 acres of
land to Sutherlen Mayfield. This land was given to Joseph Copeland, Stephen;s father of Jefferson Co.,TN., for his service in
the Continental Line during the Revolutionary War, military warrent #786, located March 17, 1785. This was registered

1800 Smith Co., TN, Stephen is ordered by the courts to lay out a road from the Kentucky Line to the Duck Creek
Tuesday, March 19, 1801
"Ordered that Hugh Lamb be appointed overseer of the road lately laid out from Stephen Copeland's to where the northern
boundary of the State crosses Line Creek, to begin at said Copeland's to the head of Mill Creek, and that John Overturf be
appointed overseer from the head of Mill Creek to the Cumberland River, and that Moses Fisk, Esquire, be appointed to
furnish overseers with a list of hands. And that John Black be appointed overseer from Cumberland River to where the
northern boundary of the State crosses Line Creek, and that all the hands living above the waters of Jennings' Creek on the
north side of the Cumberland River work under said overseer." Two or three points in this are not clear. One is concerning
Hugh Lamb. It is to hard make out whether this is the correct name, as the writing is hard to decipher. Whether this is correct
will have to wait further action and more legible handwriting. Stephen Copeland lived somewhere in the present Clay County
from the best information we have. We know that Line Creek leaves the present Macon County about a mile south of the
present Gamabel (?), in the extreme northeast corner of the county. So this must have been one end of the road, and
Copeland's home at the other end. We do not know where Mill Creek of the Cumberland is. According to the above item it
appears that there was some sort of overlapping of overseers. It appears that the road wherever it began and wherever it
ended, was somewhere north of the waters of Jennings' Creek, judging from the latter part of the Court's order. We know that
43
Jennings' Creek rises in the east end of the present Macon County and that it drains a large area of hills and valleys. The next
stream up the Cumberland above Jennings' Creek is known as Locke's Branch now, Brimstone is another creek, but we have
no knowledge of Mill Creek of Cumberland River.
"Ordered that John Overturf, John Black, Samuel Huff, Abraham Denton, and Stephen Copeland be appointed a Jury to view,
mark and lay off a road leading from where the Kentucky Road intersects Line Creek, the nearest and best way to Captain
Stephen Copeland's on Roaring River, and report same to our ensuing Court." Here we have another item about which all is
not clear. We do not know where the Kentucky Road is or was, but we do know that some time ago we published a report of
a group working on the road up Middle Fork of Goose Creek to where the Kentucky Road was intersected. We do know
where Line Creek is. It flows down out of the present Clay County and crosses the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line about a
mile south of the present Gamaliel, Ky. It rises at the very divide between the waters that flow north to Barren River and
those that flow south to the Cumberland, an irregular and very crooked line a hundred miles long or even longer that begins
near Portland, Tennessee and extends right through Lafayette, thence northeastward into Kentucky. So far as we can judge to
attain the nearest and best way from Line Creek to the home of Copeland, which was on Roaring River, the new road would
have run up the waters of Line Creek to the top of the Ridge or Highland Rim about the present Stiles Cross Roads, thence
southeastward down Pine Lick to the present Whitleyville, thence to the Cumberland near where Gainesboro Bridge now
stands, thence east to Roaring River, a quarter of a mile above the bridge, and on up Roaring River until Copeland's place had
been reached. We confess that we do not know how far up the stream Copeland lived. Some of the Dentons have long lived
in the vicinity of Gamaliel. The Overturf family, we believe. was among the earliest in Clay County. John Black is another
"unknown" to us, although there were Blacks about Dixon Springs in the very early days. We might add that the Copeland
family is rather numerous in the present Overton County.
Dec 12, 1801
"Stephen Copeland, John Peyton, John Fitzgerald and James Taylor are appointed a jury to view, by the assent of the parties
in the case of Sevier and Gordon against Alexander Suite, Aaron Robbins and John Livingston, to meet on the premises at
such time and place as the Surveyor may appoint." Here we have another step taken by the Court in an effort to remedy a
situtation which had developed on account of claims by Sevier and Gordon, dealers in land, that Suite, Robbins and
Livingston were on the lands of the complainants. Stephen Copeland was an early member of a family now found in Overton
and some of the other Upper Cumberland Counties. John Peyton was once a resident of Castalian Springs or vicinity, and was
one of the men in the party that surprised horse-stealing Indians on the present Peyton's Creek, overpowered the rogues and
recovered the horses, which incident gave the name to present Peyton's Creek. This occurred, we believe, in 1782. We have
wondered many times at what point on Peyton's Creek this happening took place. The raid was made by the Indians about the
present Cross Plains in Robertson County, and Peyton and others had trailed them to Peyton's Creek . The Indians, thinking
themselves free from any danger of having been followed, had their stolen horses picketed out; and were lying around a
warm fire when suddenly the white men came upon them. The Indians fled in disorder, abandoning their horses which were
returned to their owners. Peyton's Creek, which rises in this county, took its name from the incident. If any reader of the
paper knows where this event took place, please write us as fully as you can and we shall be more than glad to publish it. We
suppose that the John Peyton referred to above, was the father of the Hon. Bailie Peyton, of the next generation, and a noted
Tennessean. John was also a twin brother of Ephraim Peyton. The two brothers, with a third brother, Thomas Peyton, and
Squire Grant and John Frazer, made up the party that was surprised by the Indians under a chief by the name of Hanging
Maw, and lost their horses and surveying instrument on the present Defeated Creek in February, 1786, from which incident
Defeated Creek took its name, as the whites were "defeated," fleeing in disorder in the night and each man "looking out for
himself," until Castalian Springs was reached.
John Fitzgerald is supposed to have been a citizen of the territory now embraced in Clay County. James Taylor is unknown
unto the writer. The four men, Stephen Copeland, John Peyton, John Fitzgerald and James Taylor were to meet as a jury, we
suppose, to settle the dispute between Sevier and Gordon on the one hand, and Alexander Suite, Aaron Robbins and John
Livingston on the other.
Sept 1800
.
"Ordered that Robert Hill be appointed Overseer of the road leading from the 'Nothen' boundary of this State to the head of
Mitchell's Creek, and that all the hands work under said Overseer, adjoining thereto, to cut out and work on the same, and
that Jacob Bowen be appointed Overseer, from the head of Mitchell's Creek to Captain Copeland's and that the hands
adjacent thereto, open and work on the same under said Overseer." Here we have an item in which the grammar is not very
good, but we presume the average reader will understand. We suppose Mitchell's Creek is in the present Cay or Pickett
44
County. Where Captain Copeland lived is not known, although there are members of both the Hill family and the Copeland
family residing in that general vicinity.
"Ordered that William Sullivan, Sr., be appointed Overseer of the road leading from Sullivan's Ferry to forks of said road, to
where it meets Walton Road, and that all the hands living on Martin, Indian and Hurrican Creeks work under said Overseer
on said road." By the fact that there was a William Sullivan, Sr., we are quite sure that there was a younger man of the same
name. This family lived in the early history of Smith County in what is now Sullivan's Bend. The old Walton Road ran along
the top of the high ridge occupied in part at the time by Chestnut Mound. Martin's Creek and the other two streams are in the
general vicinity of the present Chestnut Mound.
"Ordered that John McDaniel, Nathaniel Evins, John Morgan, Stephen Copeland and Simon Huddleston be appointed to
view, mark and lay off a road leading from Mr. Blackburn's to Robert Elliot's on the 'nothen' boundary of the State, where the
road out by Capt. Gordon's intersects it." Here we have another item about which we know next to nothing. Mr. Blackburn,
as we have already sought to show, probably lived on the lower end of the present Roaring River or on a branch of that
stream, one of which is called Blackburn's Fork. The road to be laid off evidently ran northward from some point in the
present Jackson County. Whether Captain Copeland and Stephen Copeland were one and the same person does not yet
appear from the records. It is not supposed that Captain Gordon and the George Gordon were one and the same man, for
Captain Gordon, according to the above item, lived somewhere near the Kentucky-Tennessee line in what is now most
probably Clay County, and George Gordon was an attorney who, in partnership with John Sevier, was a dealer in land.
However, it was once reported to the writer that John Sevier once owned large areas of the present Pickett County. All this
might mean that Captain Gordon and George Gordon were one and the same. If any reader knows the facts in this point,
please communicate with me. Robert Elliott is another of whom we know absolutely nothing. Nathaniel Evins is another
"unknown" to the writer. John Morgan is another of whom we know nothing. However, one of our great-great-greatgrandmothers was Judy Morgan, who became the wife of John Gregory, in North Carolina about 1775, and who came with
her children to Smith County about 150 years ago lives. We have a brother, Thomas Morgan Gregory. We have been told we
are related to General John Morgan, of the Southern Army. So our curiosity is aroused as to who this John Morgan was.
Moreover, this is the first mention of the name, Morgan, that we have found in the perusal of the old records.

This document was found in the recently opened loose papers of the Dandridge Court house in Jefferson Co. TN. They are
presently filed in the County Court documents of 1838. The file date is a mistake, the settlement is 12 March 1850. The
mistake in filing is due to the 1838 date, at the beginning of the document which is the date of a TN state law. Zacheus must
have died between Jan. 1844 and March 1845.
Fact 1: Zacheus is mentioned in the records of the Lower French Broad Church as " missing and supposed to be dead" The
microfilm of church records can be found at the Knoxville TN Historical Center (McClung collection). The church was
renamed around 1850 and is filled as the Dandridge Baptist Church. Zacheus is located at new book page 157, item # 236. I
have been told that this microfilm was transcribed into a book named Bicentennial History of the First Baptist Church of

Flag,Vol.6,no.4,Fall 1994,p27- Farmer's Gazette and Cheraw Advertiser,29 May 1840, there appeared a notice addressed to
the children of Aaron Copeland,decreased saying the they were entitled to a share in their father's estate. Listed Moses,

tried to secure his release from the military as too young, his company was being whipped into shape by Baron DeKalb. His
parents appealed to DeKalbs friend Gen. Lafayette. The general realized that the boy wanted to be in the Army and denied
the parents.
He served at Cheraw Hills in extreme NE part of the state close to NC and west of the PeeDee River in the spring of 1780.
His job was to guard provisions that were being assembled for the Army that was under Gen. Gates to defeat the Bristish. He
was honorably discharged by Captain John Wilson.

Howell in Col. Wade's Troop of Horse, supplied his own mount and equipment and marched from Chesterfield to Hinley's
Ferry on the PeeDee and then to Beatty's Bridge on Drowning Creek, NC. He lost everything that he owned, and barely
escaped with his life.
He served in the militia with Col. Wade in Anson Co,NC for one month, and in Captain Pledger's Company in Marlboro
Co,SC Final service records show him to be in Captain McGee's Company when Gen Greene, Sided by the men of
Marion,Sumter and Pickens pushed the Bristish back into Charleston after the victory at Eutaw Springs(Sept. 8.1781)
1787 moved to North Orangeburg District,SC. 1790 moved to Chesterfield
District,SC
The actual grant received in Chesterfield County by Aaron has been recorded and reads as follows:

‘BIG JO’ COPELAND
A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE & TENNESSEANS
William Thos. Hale & Dixon L. Merritt
Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago & NY, 1913
Vol. II, pages 345-347
A famous Tennessee strong man and hunter was Joseph COPELAND, better known locally as ‘Big JO,' who was living in
Overton County until well into the nineteenth century. Of his descendants a leading book-seller of Nashville said in 1912: 'I
89
never saw a COPELAND who was under six feet in height, and I lived for many years in the same county with them. All the
sons of Big Jo had names ending with a ‘son,' as, Ellison, Madison, etc. My father wrote the last will and testament of Big
JO'.
Early in the spring of 1791, Col. Stephen COPELAND, of one of the old families of North Carolina, accompanied by his son
Joseph, left Jefferson county for the Cumberland country. Following an Indian trail over the Cumberland mountains, they
pursued their lonely journey, laden with a few scanty supplies, brought from Kingston. They camped in a valley in the
present county of Overton, and planted a crop of corn. Colonel COPELAND hunted many days with an Indian chief, Nettle
Carrier, whom he always remembered as a friend. Nettle Carrier left his camp on the creek that yet bears his name during
summer, and was never seen in his old hunting grounds' again, though in 1813, as one of the Cherokee chiefs, he signed a
paper authorizing a turnpike company to open a road through the Reservation. After having cultivated their crop, Colonel
COPELAND and his son returned to their home for their family, and became the first settlers of what is know as Overton
County, TN
Joseph COPELAND was of gigantic size. Many stories are related of his exhibitions of strength. He was often known to
reach over the fence and lift two hundred pound hogs out of the pen and put them on the scales. It is also said he could crack
walnuts with his teeth, apparently as easily as others could Chestnuts.
It was as a hunter that COPELAND made his widest local reputation, however. An indication of his prowess in this respect,
it is a matter of history that in one winter he killed sixty-two grown bears.
In Choosing a wife, he selected one six feet in height, and buxom. In her prime she weighed about three hundred pounds.
In the year 1905, Mr. George B. Wilson of Bowling Green, Kentucky- a thoroughly reliable gentleman-related the following:
“In 1882, I was traveling in the Cumberland mountains buying stock, and had some dealings with a family named
COPELAND. They were descendants of Joe COPELAND, a pioneer. If my memory serves me right, they were living in
either COPELAND Cove or Hartsaw Cove, on the head of the Roaring River in Overton County. I was at once amazed at the
size of such members as I saw, and made inquiries of the others. They might have claimed to have in their veins the blood of
the Anakin! There were seven brothers . The smallest member assisted me a few days hunting sheep and cattle. He was called
‘Little Ellis” COPELAND because the baby of the family, and, I suppose because he weighted only 360 pounds! The biggest
brother,Harrison tipped the scales at 400 pounds, the mother something like a hundred pounds less.
It may sound strange, but these giants were famous locally for running foot races. By the way, when one of our cattle once
ran out into the woods. ‘Little Ellis’ insisted on pursuing it. He easily overtook it, getting over the ground much more rapidly
than I could have done, and I was in my prime. Near the Anderson Christian store, they had a regular track for foot races,
where the stakes were sometimes one hundred dollars. I was told that on one occasion one of the Copelands was given ten
paces ahead of a man mounted on a good horse, and won the dash of one hundred yards”.

Susan COPELAND and Thompson GARDENHIRE were married in 1810 in Overton Co., TN. Thompson GARDENHIRE
(son of Jacob GARDENHIRE and Margaret Katherine THOMPSON) was born in 1786 in State of Franklin. He died on 3
Oct 1853 in Old Wheat Area, NC became Jasper, Marion Co., TN. Thompson was killed in Jasper by an escaped
93
prisoner,whom he ,as a judge had put in prison. Matilda moved back to her original home in Trenton.
1840 census he and wife are in Marion Co.,TN. 1850 census he and Matilda are in Marion Co.,TN
!NOTES: "Thompson was born in Loudon-Kingston Community of what was then Knox County, Tennessee, or perhaps it
was still North Carolina. When he was 22 years old he moved with his parents to Oak Hill, Overton County, Tennessee. He
married Martha "Susan" Copeland in about 1810. Susan was the daughter of Col. Stephen Copeland, a revolutionary soldier.
Eleven children were born, 5 boys and 6 girls, in Oak Hill before Thompson moved to Jasper, Marion County, Tennessee in
1834. Three additional children were born between 1835 and 1840. The middle one was my gradfather, Thompson Verne,
born in 1837. What happened to Martha has not been determined. However, she may have moved to Arkansas and remarried.
Thompson married a second time to Matilda Medows. For some strange reason, five of the brothers, and two of the sisters
migrated to Walnut Ridge area of Lawrence County, Arkansas about 1845. They joined their oldest brother, Jacob, who had
moved to Arkansas in the mid 1930's directly from Overton County, TN. My grandfather and his younger sister, Louisa, were
raised by their older sister Racheal, who married Wash Jackson, and are shown in that household in the 1850 census of
Franklin County, Tennessee. Sometime in the 1850's the family moved to Lawrence County, Arkansas. My father, Jefferson
Thompson was unaware of Thompson's second family. The 1850 Census of Marion County, Tennessee shows Thompson
with four children and his wife Matilda. One child, Martin was from the previous marriage. After Thompson's death in 1853,
Matilda moved back to her original home in Trenton, Dade County, Georgia. She is listed in the 1860 and 1870 census in
Georgia and died in Trenton in 1877." (By Lawrence W Gardenhire)
!NOTES: In a court case of 18 Apr 1825 held in circuit court of McMin County, Tennessee involving Thompson and his
brother William, they are identified as "late of this county" which would indicated that they were not in McMinn County at
the date of trial. They are accused of entering into a conspiracy against one William Dennis of McMinn County, accusing
him of stealing some hogs in Overton County owned by Temp Upton.
!NOTES: In a court case on 3 July 1841 district court in Pikeville, Bledsoe County, Tenneesee Thompson Gardenhire was
accused of turning over property to his two son-in-laws, James M. Carrol and Edward Holloway in order to avoid paying
bond indebtness. The land was 400 acres in Ocoe district which Thompson had entered and paid for, supposedly valuable
land, and conveyed to James M Carrol, his son-in-law for $1500. It was also shown that Thompson owned and operated a
valuable ferry property, across the Tennessee River. Carrol stated that he intermarried in the family on 24 March 1839.
George W. Gardenhire, age 24, gave evidence, and stated that Thompson Gardenhire came into this county as well he could
recollect in 1831 or 1832." (By Lawrence W. Gardenhire

Peace within and for the County and state aforesaid Amelia POSTON aged fifty -nine years a resident of overton County in
the State of Tennepeo who being duly sworn according to law declares that she is the widow of Richard Poston deceased who
was a private in the Company Commanded by captain David Williams in the 3rd Regiment of Tennepeo Militia Commanded
by Colonal Stephan Copeland in the war against the hostile Creek Indians that her husband was drafted in Overton County
State of Tennepeo on or about the 20th day of January AD 1814 for the term of three months and containeed in actual service
in said war for the term of three months and was honorable discharged at Fayetiville, Tennepeo which facts will appear upon
the records of said Regement and Muster roll of said Company. She states that her husband received a certificate of discharge
which is lost as misplaced so that she can not, command it.
She further states that she was married to the said Richard Poston in Overton County state of Tennessee on as about the 15th
day of December AD 1809 by one Stephen Copeland, a Justice of the Peace for said Overton County and that her name
before her said marriage was Amelia Copeland that her said husband died in Pulaska County in the State of Misouri on the
30th Day of January AD 1843 and that she is still a widow.
She makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the bounty land to which she may be entitled under the act paped
September 28, 1850. She states that there is no public or private record of her said marriage as she knows of and she thus
therefore relies upon the testemony of disenterested persons who knew her in the life time of her husband.

received a disability discharge on 15 July 1862. Discharge papers say that he was 40 years old,6' 7', dark complexion, black
hair, hazel eyes, and a farmer by occupation. He rejoined in Sept 1862 with the 8th Calvary. He received a discharge on April
7,1864. Later he reenlisteded again with the 8th TN Calvary.
The 8th Tennessee Cavalry was initially organized in White County as independent partisan rangers on September 4, 1862,
with 12 companies under the command of Colonel George G. Dibrell. The first muster was held near Sparta in September
1862, and consisted of 921 men, primarily farm workers from Jackson, Overton, Putnam and White counties.
On October 8, the regiment marched from Sparta to Murfreesboro, Tennessee to join Brigadier General Nathan B. Forrest's
Brigade. There it was reorganized into 10 companies and mustered into the CSA as the 8th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry.
While at Murfreesboro, the regiment was equipped with 400 flintlock muskets and 600 sabres -- the only issue of arms ever
made to it by the Confederate Government. Its first military assignment was to scout and establish pickets outside the city of
Nashville. A skirmish at Neely's Bend, north of the city, was the first of several while stationed in that area.
The 8th Tennessee Cavalry was involved in a remarkable number of battles and skirmishes throughout the Civil War and
suffered considerable casualties. It fought in engagements ranging from west Tennessee into southern Virginia, through the
Carolinas and into Georgia. The men fought not only on horseback, but frequently engaged the enemy dismounted and
sometimes in hand-to-hand combat as happened at Chickamauga. Although it was regularly short of arms and supplies and its
recruits usually had little or no training, the regiment earned a reputation for discipline and dependability. Writing after the
war, General Dibrell wrote "that not a piece of artillery was ever lost when supported by the Eighth. Huggin's company of
artillery used to say that they had no fear of going into battle when supported by the Tennessee cavalry brigade, of which the
Eighth was a part."
Its last engagement was at Beulah, NC on April 11, 1865. The next day, the regiment learned that rumors of Lee's surrender
were true and marched to Greensboro, NC. From there, it helped escort President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet to
Abbeville, SC where the command was dissolved. The 8th Tennessee, consisting of only 381 men, marched to Washington,
Georgia and surrendered to the 4th Iowa Cavalry on May 3rd. The men were paroled on May 9, 1865, and returned to
Tennessee.
While camped in Polk County, the men were confronted by a squad of federal soldiers who brought them to the nearby city
of Cleveland. They were placed under guard and individually searched for any item bearing the “U.S.” insignia. The regiment
was allowed to leave later that evening, but not without enduring some harassment from a few of the local citizens.
The 8th Tennessee entered Chattanooga the following day and suffered more humiliation. The provost-marshal, falsely
claiming that he was under orders, confiscated the horses from those with the rank of private. After the parole of each soldier
was inspected, the regiment, annoyed but in good spirits, continued its homeward journey on foot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------The 8th Tennessee Cavalry is sometimes referred to as the 13th Tennessee Cavalry. Indeed, the A. & I.G.O. recognized the
unit by the latter designation. After the war, General Dibrell provided an explanation:
When the regiment was mustered at Murfreesboro by Col. Charles Carroll it was the Eighth Regiment of Tennessee Cavalry,
and it bore that name thereafter. Col. Carroll was captured before sending off his muster, and when received at Richmond the
regiment was numbered the Thirteenth; but we never recognized that number, and it was not so known in the army.
He died on 27 Jan 1865 in Augusta, GA. He was wounded during the Civil War fighting at Battle of Wainsboro,GA with
125
Gores 8th Cav Co. E. He died in a hospital at Augusta GA. His physical said that he was 6'4"

Eighth Tennessee Cavalry
At Buck Head church Gen. Wheeler overtook the enemy again, charged and routed them. They destroyed the bridge
over Buck Head Creek in their retreat, but we soon had it repaired by using the seats which we took from the church. The
Tennessee brigade was then ordered to take the lead and move to the rear of the enemy. We crossed and, from the
information, had moved, as we thought, to the rear of the enemy, when we turned to the road and struck the enemy's pickets.
Charging them, we had a running fight for about half a mile, when we struck Gen. Kilpatrick's entire command, strongly
fortified behind rail-works, with a very strong position, our approach to which was through a large field, without any
protection whatever. They had selected and fortified this position to remain during the night. They poured volley after volley
of small arms into us, and played upon us with several pieces of artillery; but we held the ground taken, and returned their
fire, until reenforcements arrived upon our right, when Kilpatrick abandoned his works and beat a hasty retreat. We pursued
him some distance, until the night getting very dark we gave up the chase and went into camp; but Kilpatrick did not stop
until he got back to Gen. Sherman's infantry. In this day's fighting we were actively engaged from day light until nine or ten
o'clock at night, the Eighth Tennessee sharing largely in the hard struggles of the day. They made the last charge upon the
enemy's lines, meeting a perfect hail-storm of shot and shell from Kilpatrick's artillery, in which Houston Farley, Anderson
Copeland, and others, were killed, and Capt. A. C. Dale and several others wounded. Dr. Jo. C. Evans's horse had his head
torn off with a cannon-ball just as he had dismounted to throw a fence down for the charge. Capt. Mounce L. Gore led this
last charge in person Ruth SWALLOWS and Joseph Anderson 'Andy' COPELAND had the following children:

1787 Moved to Orangeburg District(Now Barnwell county) as an adult.
He purchsed 260 acres on Lemon Waters in Barnewell District in 1812. 200 acres of this he granted to Bright Rice and the
other 60 to David Richardson. witnesses to the deed were William, Jabez, and Rebecca Dowling. in 1819 he purchased from
his brother-in-law William Dowling 80 acres bounded on the north by lands of Benjamin Tarrant, on the west by Zachary
Graham and on the south and east by his own lands. This deed was witnessed by Jabez L. Dowling and Sarah Rice.
He constantly added to his land. At one time his slaves cultivated well over 500 acres. His home was not a mansion, but a
large rambling home with many large rooms added over the years as family continued to grow.
He was one of the first to advocate the advisability of crop rotation, and planting more than cotton. He raised several horses
and loved to wager on them. Unlike some of his relatives he refused to involved in politics, even though he was often asked
to let his name be nominated for various positions.
Choosing instead to see to improving both the education system and the care of the enslaved negro himself.
By age 50 all, both black and white, had taken to calling him Squire. At age 52, in 1837 he found himself ruined in Jackson's
panic. His assets were claimed because he had endorsed notes for friends and they could not pay when they were called. So
he left his plantation in 1843-1858 and moved his family to Troupoille, County Seat of Lowndes County, Georgia. The
section they settled in is now Brooks County, Georgia.

Chapter XXXVI
The Evolution Of "Society"
Everyday Life
A letter written by J. R. Copeland, son of Joseph Jefferson Copeland, one of the first settlers in Overton County, Tennessee in
1791. Copied in part:
" I was born in the year 1806. I was here in the days of hunting shirts, moccasins, and buckskin pants, all of which articles I
have worn myself, when the rifle was the constant companion of the early settler when he left his domicile and entered the
woods. I was here in the days of log cabins and puncheon floors, yes, and puncheon tables, for my first eating at table was
upon a broad puncheon put upon legs, when our meals were all eaten off pewter plates by the best livers.
And those who could not afford pewter and tin, old Solomon Alread turned them plates and bowls out of wood on the turning
lathe. numbers of families used that kind of table ware. I was here when our mothers and sisters manufactured from the raw
materials of cotton., wool and flax, all the wearing apparel of the family. Calico was very scarce, and our mothers used to vie
with each other in making the prettiest cotton frock, and eyed each other very closely at church to see who had excelled. We
had no buttons for our flax and cotton shirts. but our mothers wrapped some thread around a goosequill, slipped it off, and
then worked it into a button with a needle. For our coats, when we had any, we made some button-shapes out of pieces of
gourd and our mothers covered them with some of the material of the garment. As for pants buttons, not a little sole leather
was used, but some had instruments for cutting them out of horn and drilling them. The old settlers enjoyed themselves well.
They had plenty of hog and hominy. And, if any fell a little short, there was a great deal of hospitality in those days. Some of
the best livers enjoyed a cup of coffee on Sunday mornings. Charles Sevier and James Dodson principally supplied the hats
of the county, manufacturing them out of sheep's wool ans coon's fur. Josiah Copeland furnished the saddles-he made the
trees and covered them. Some of the best farmers used to raise some wheat, and large fields of rye, and large flax patches,
and when the harvest time came around, , all the neighbors were asked to come in on a certain day with thier families, and the
men to bring their reap hooks. When assembled, the men went to the grain fields to reap down the grain, and the boys and
girls, such as were able, repaired to the flax patches, each lad generally choosing some rosy-cheeked lass to pull flax by his
side. At the close of the day, the work being ended, all the good cherer, and a big egg-nog would all up. If men had a falling
out in them days, the knife or pistol was not thought of. It was entirely a fisticuff. If an individual or his friends were
disposed to boast his manhood, it was not long until he had to fight somebody, just to see which can endure the most hard
knocking, in a ring, with a man each to see that all went off in accordance with the code of honor of those days of the
fisticuff."

Camp Myers, Overton Co., TN-25th TN Co. H. - CSA. He was also in Camp Zollcoffers Camp, Overton Co.,TN , with the
25th Infantry Co H. Anderson received a disability discharge on 15 July 1862. Discharge papers say that he was 40 years
old,6' 7', dark complexion, black hair, hazel eyes, and a farmer by occupation. He rejoined in Sept 1862 with the 8th Calvary.
He received a discharge on April 7,1864. Later he reenlisteded again with the 8th TN Calvary.
The 8th Tennessee Cavalry was initially organized in White County as independent partisan rangers on September 4, 1862,
with 12 companies under the command of Colonel George G. Dibrell. The first muster was held near Sparta in September
1862, and consisted of 921 men, primarily farm workers from Jackson, Overton, Putnam and White counties.
On October 8, the regiment marched from Sparta to Murfreesboro, Tennessee to join Brigadier General Nathan B. Forrest's
Brigade. There it was reorganized into 10 companies and mustered into the CSA as the 8th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry.
While at Murfreesboro, the regiment was equipped with 400 flintlock muskets and 600 sabres -- the only issue of arms ever
made to it by the Confederate Government. Its first military assignment was to scout and establish pickets outside the city of
Nashville. A skirmish at Neely's Bend, north of the city, was the first of several while stationed in that area.
The 8th Tennessee Cavalry was involved in a remarkable number of battles and skirmishes throughout the Civil War and
suffered considerable casualties. It fought in engagements ranging from west Tennessee into southern Virginia, through the
Carolinas and into Georgia. The men fought not only on horseback, but frequently engaged the enemy dismounted and
sometimes in hand-to-hand combat as happened at Chickamauga. Although it was regularly short of arms and supplies and its
recruits usually had little or no training, the regiment earned a reputation for discipline and dependability. Writing after the
war, General Dibrell wrote "that not a piece of artillery was ever lost when supported by the Eighth. Huggin's company of
artillery used to say that they had no fear of going into battle when supported by the Tennessee cavalry brigade, of which the
Eighth was a part."
Its last engagement was at Beulah, NC on April 11, 1865. The next day, the regiment learned that rumors of Lee's surrender
were true and marched to Greensboro, NC. From there, it helped escort President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet to
208
Abbeville, SC where the command was dissolved. The 8th Tennessee, consisting of only 381 men, marched to Washington,
Georgia and surrendered to the 4th Iowa Cavalry on May 3rd. The men were paroled on May 9, 1865, and returned to
Tennessee.
While camped in Polk County, the men were confronted by a squad of federal soldiers who brought them to the nearby city
of Cleveland. They were placed under guard and individually searched for any item bearing the “U.S.” insignia. The regiment
was allowed to leave later that evening, but not without enduring some harassment from a few of the local citizens.
The 8th Tennessee entered Chattanooga the following day and suffered more humiliation. The provost-marshal, falsely
claiming that he was under orders, confiscated the horses from those with the rank of private. After the parole of each soldier
was inspected, the regiment, annoyed but in good spirits, continued its homeward journey on foot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------The 8th Tennessee Cavalry is sometimes referred to as the 13th Tennessee Cavalry. Indeed, the A. & I.G.O. recognized the
unit by the latter designation. After the war, General Dibrell provided an explanation:
When the regiment was mustered at Murfreesboro by Col. Charles Carroll it was the Eighth Regiment of Tennessee Cavalry,
and it bore that name thereafter. Col. Carroll was captured before sending off his muster, and when received at Richmond the
regiment was numbered the Thirteenth; but we never recognized that number, and it was not so known in the army.
He died on 27 Jan 1865 in Augusta, GA. He was wounded during the Civil War fighting at Battle of Wainsboro,GA with
Gores 8th Cav Co. E. He died in a hospital at Augusta GA. His physical said that he was 6'4"

Eighth Tennessee Cavalry
At Buck Head church Gen. Wheeler overtook the enemy again, charged and routed them. They destroyed the bridge
over Buck Head Creek in their retreat, but we soon had it repaired by using the seats which we took from the church. The
Tennessee brigade was then ordered to take the lead and move to the rear of the enemy. We crossed and, from the
information, had moved, as we thought, to the rear of the enemy, when we turned to the road and struck the enemy's pickets.
Charging them, we had a running fight for about half a mile, when we struck Gen. Kilpatrick's entire command, strongly
fortified behind rail-works, with a very strong position, our approach to which was through a large field, without any
protection whatever. They had selected and fortified this position to remain during the night. They poured volley after volley
of small arms into us, and played upon us with several pieces of artillery; but we held the ground taken, and returned their
fire, until reenforcements arrived upon our right, when Kilpatrick abandoned his works and beat a hasty retreat. We pursued
him some distance, until the night getting very dark we gave up the chase and went into camp; but Kilpatrick did not stop
until he got back to Gen. Sherman's infantry. In this day's fighting we were actively engaged from day light until nine or ten
o'clock at night, the Eighth Tennessee sharing largely in the hard struggles of the day. They made the last charge upon the
enemy's lines, meeting a perfect hail-storm of shot and shell from Kilpatrick's artillery, in which Houston Farley, Anderson
Copeland, and others, were killed, and Capt. A. C. Dale and several others wounded. Dr. Jo. C. Evans's horse had his head
torn off with a cannon-ball just as he had dismounted to throw a fence down for the charge. Capt. Mounce L. Gore led this
last charge in person

Regimental Histories and Memorial Rolls.
Twenty-fifth Tennessee Infantry
After the resignation of these two officers the regiment was commanded by Col. John M. Hughes, promoted to this
position from his Captaincy in Co. D. The regiment went from Tyner's Station to Battle Creek, and then to Bridgeport and to
Stevenson, at the latter place capturing a large amount of ordnance and medical stores. Then back to Chattanooga; then on to
Sparta; then via Lebanon, Ky., to Perryville--engaged in the battle at that place, having been placed in Brig.-gen. Bushrod
Johnson's brigade. Then to Camp Dick Robinson; then to Crab Orchard; then through Cumberland Gap to Knoxville; then to
Chattanooga, to Manchester, to Tullahoma, to Shelbyville, and to Murfreesboro. The Twentyfifth engaged in this bloody
battle and lost heavily in killed and wounded, each soldier and officer bearing his part most manfully. Among the wounded
was the gallant Lieut. Joel Windle. After this battle the Twenty-fifth fell back with the army to Tullahoma. Subsequently the
regiment was in the battles of Fairfield, Beech Grove, Hoover's Gap; in this last lost heavily. The regiment afterward
proceeded to Chattanooga, then to Loudon Bridge, then to Missionary Ridge, and while here was consolidated with the
Seventeenth, Twenty-third, and Forty-fourth. The regiment engaged in the battle of Chickamauga. In this fight the
Twentyfifth Regiment confronted in the Federal line a battery of four pieces of artillery, which it captured in the very face of
death. Here the brave Capt. Kuhn, privates Howard and Mitchell Copeland fell, with many others; Lieut. Joel Windle having
his sword-belt shot off. In this action the regiment captured six other pieces of artillery, making ten in all. After this battle the
Twentyfifth was placed under Gen. Longstreet, who was sent with a large detachment toward Knoxville to operate against
Gen. Burnside, who held that city. In this expedition Gen. Longstreet attacked Burnside at Loudon, driving him back toward
Knoxville, capturing Lenoir's Station and large wagon-trains. He fough him again at Bean's Station, making similar captures;
and again in Clinch Valley, capturing trains of wagons.
On in hot pursuit for two miles he pressed him into Knoxville behind his fortifications, and laid siege to the place. He
was soon forced to break up the siege by reason of the disaster to the Confederate arms at Missionary Ridge; and then
determined to make an attack on Fort Sanders, a strong fort which commanded the roads leading into the city. In front of this
fort were obstructions to the passage of the troops almost insurmountable--abatis and other contrivances over which the
soldiers were forced to clamber under a most deadly fire; but they made their way through and over these obstructions, and
some reached the fort and climbed up the works, and planted the Confederate colors upon the walls; yet they were unable to
complete the capture, and were forced to retire, with a loss of seven hundred killed, wounded, and prisoners. The Twentyfifth participated in all these engagements, with its full share of valor and loss of life. Longstreet then fell back. Burnside,
having been reenforced, pursued him to Bean's Station, where another hard fight occurred, Longstreet driving him to
Russellville. Longstreet took a position at Rogersville, but finding his communication by railroad to Virginia cut off, he was
forced to spend the winter in the mountains of North-eastern Tennessee. Here he remained through the cold and dreary
winter, his men poorly clad, many of them barefooted, drawing their scanty rations from the wild mountains covered with
snow, until about the middle of February, when his communication by rail with Virginia was reestablished, and he was
permitted to withdraw his suffering troops from their inhospitable quarters, and to pitch their tents upon the old camping-

ground near Richmond.

Rev. Richard Peter COPELAND and Louise S. TURNER were married in 1845. Louise S. TURNER (daughter of

Greenberry TURNER and Rebecca MOSLEY) was born on 12 Oct 1825 in Newton Co., GA. She was born on 15 Dec 1825
in Newton Co. GA. She died in 1865 in Brundage, Pike Co., AL. She died on 3 Oct 1865 in b Brundidge City Cem. Pike
Co. AL. Louise, wife of R.P. Copeland, my 2-great grandparents, died in 1865. She
had had five children at that time. If Lenezer was the same person, and
was born in 1825, that would have made Louisa 40 when she died, which may
be about right. Louise S. (Turner) Copeland is buried in Brundidge, Al,
and there's no mistaking the spelling of her name on her tombstone
Louise (Turner) and her mother-in-law, Penelope Mosely. Penelope's father was
Robert Mosel(e)y, born 1735, place and parentage unknown. He served in
the Rev War from SC, enlisting in Mar 30, 1776 as a Corporal. He died in
1796 in the Edgefield District of SC. He had two wives:Mary (?) with whom
he had 8 children, then to Penelope Talley with whom he had 8 more,
including Penelope Moseley, who was my 3-great grandmother, married to
John T. Copeland. One of Penelope's brothers married Mildred Copeland,
and one married Mildred's sister, Sally Copeland. These two Copeland
women were John T. Copeland's sisters. The two families were very
"thickly" intermarried. I suspect that Green B. Turner's wife, Rebecca
Mosely, was related to this Mosely family and that their daughter, Louise
S. Turner, was a cousin to her husband, R.P. Copeland through his
mother's line.
