Smedley Filed 15 November 1823 Thad B. Rees, C.CO. --- Notes: The will spells the Copland without an 'e'. Richard Copland mentions his son which looks like "Boldy", but I believe it should be "Baldy". Richard had a son name Baldwin Copeland and, I think, also he had two grandchildren named "Baldwin".
