About Margaret Copeland
Margaret Copeland perished in the Richmond Theater Fire of 1811.
"Many of the people who died at the Richmond Theater on December 26th did so searching for a child or a loved one. And, numerous survivors lost loved ones or friends in the great fire. The horror of such tragedy was experienced by Mr. Copeland. He had gone to the Richmond theatre with his wife, two of his children, Mary Clay (daughter of Matthew Clay, a Representative from Virginia), and two of Ms. Clay's friends. Margaret, one of Copeland's two daughters, passed in the flames. Miss Clay and each of her two companions also died in the disaster."
