Who was George Copper (ca 1668-1754)? At this time (2016 ) we do not know who the parents of George Copper Sr were. We do not know his exact birth date and we do not know his birth place. For many years we thought that the parents of George Copper Sr were possibly Thomas Copper of Southwark, London, England & Elizabeth Coxe of Fletching, Sussex, England. We have now corresponded with a descendant of this Thomas & Elizabeth. They are his 7th great grandparents. Thomas & Elizabeth were married in Eastbourne, Sussex, England ca 1716. This 1716 date is after our George Copper & Mary Moss were married and had children of their own. Therefore, it seems highly unlikely that there is a family connection ~ certainly not a parental connection.
