Copelin Families in Mo mid to late 1800's
I am searching for inforamation, parents, etc. for a James Copelin in the 1880, Phelps Co., Mo. census:
***In the 1880, Phelps Co., Mo census, there is a James Copelin, b. Mo 31 yrs old, Mary A. b. Mo 25, John 4, James 3, and William J. 8/12 months, all children b. Mo.Roller Post office
Below them is Franc 20 b. Mo and Newt 22 b. Mo
This is my 3rd great grandfather, and his son John Jefferson Copeling is his son.
John Jefferson and Andrew James Copeling, apparently a brother not on the census, later show up in Harris Co., (Houston), Tx working on the railroad, but I can't find Andrew thereafter, and John died in Harris Co., on Oct. 18, 1914 while working in the rail yard of apparently a heart attack or heat problem.
I have hit a brick wall, and would greatly appreciate any help.
Many thanks,
Joy McNally
