Jonathan Newhouse

Mary Copeland and Jonathan Newhouse were married around 1788 and had 8 children together. They lived in the Hillsboro (Loudoun County, VA) area until around 1817 when they came to Hocking County, Ohio.

For awhile, the Newhouse researchers had known that Mary's father was probably Andrew Copeland, because Jonathan and she lived in his household in 1788 and 1789 among other reasons.

We believe she was born around 1770. I've hear speculation that Nancy Bennett was Andrew's second wife. Maybe he did have a first wife, and Mary came from that marriage.
