COPELAND/COPLEN Bible - Graves Co., KY Submitted by M. Schisel on Wed, 24 Feb 1999 Surnames: COPELAND, COPLEN, LASITER, CAMP, MEACHAM Transcriber's Note: I believe this bible record belonged to Thomas Copeland SR., a son of Abel Copeland. Both men and their families came to the Jackson Purchase area around 1823 and settled in Graves County near Pryorsburg. In the bible record, the surname was spelled a variety of ways. I transcribed the names as they were written in the bible. The bible was passed down to Claud Copeland, now deceased. Fortunately, a Graves County researcher, Frances Oldham, made a photocopy. I transcribed these records from a telephone conversation with her and from a photocopy of the photocopy. Any comments I felt necessary to include for clarity are enclosed in brackets [].
