About Charles Coppage, Sr.

Charles Coppedge-5 (William-4, William-3, Richard-2, William-1)[31, 32] was born in 1687 in Wicomico, Northumberland Co, VA[31, 33]. He died on 13 May 1750 in Wicomico, Northumberland Co, VA.

Charles Coppedge, Sr. - of Wicomico; granted land in Northern Neck, 1710-1712 (N.N. Book 4, Va. State Library); mentioned in will of his brother, James in 1736 and by reference in will of his nephew John in 1745. His wife predeceased him and her name is not known with certainty, but she was clearly a Lunsford, probably Lucy, daughter of Sheriff John Lunsford (son of of Willian, son of Sir Thomas). Tradition has it that William married a Blackwell; either he or John married Miss Griffin, relative of Alexander. John’s wife was Elizabeth, probably Kenner, daughter of Capt. Richard Kenner and Elizabeth daughter of Matthew Rodham (Colonist to Maryland on “Ark” and “Dove” in 1634, aged 13 and his wife Eliz. Hewitt, daughter of Robert and Eliz. Hewitt of Isle of Kent, Md.

The persistence of the names Rodham and Lunsford, as well as Griffin among Coppedge descendents bears mute testimony to this marriage. Charles Coppedge’s will dated 13 May 1750, proved 13 Aug. 1750 was witnessed by Samuel Blackwell and Moses Lunsford and executors were 2 oldest sons William and Charles. The testator styles himself “Charles Coppedge of Wicomico Parish, Northumberland County Va.”
