Descendants of Aaron Coppock Our goal is to research the pioneers that came into the Walla Walla Valley Area, as a starter for those doing their family genealogy; we are not related. Head Researcher: Sarah Olsen, Researcher: Linda Kracke September 26, 2006 Generation No. 1 1. AARON1 COPPOCK was born 24 Jan 1797 in Prob Pennsylvania, and died Abt. 1852 in California. He married (1) AMY COBBS Bef. 1819. She was born 23 Dec 1800. He married (2) MARYRATLIFF Bef. 1844. She was born 08 Feb 1807 in North Carolina, and died Aft. 1853. Notes for AARON COPPOCK: The ancestry and descendants of Aaron and Amy (Cobbs) Coppock Pg 2 Aaron Coppock was born January 24, 1787, probably in Pennsylvania. His parents, along with his thirteen brothers and sisters, crossed the mountains to settle in Ohio when Aaron was about nine years old. He married at Springfield, Ohio, December 3, 1818, AMY COBBS, born December 23, 1800, daughter of Pleasant and Amy (Terrell) Cobbs, of Columbiana County, Ohio. Chapter Two deals with the ancestry of this Amy (Cobbs) Coppock. Aaron and Amy lived in Columbiana County, and all eleven children were born there. Amy died sometime between 1839 and 1842, as Aaron remarried to MARY ____, after Amy’s decease. Besides the eleven children of Aaron and Amy, another child, ROBERT COPPOCK, was born to Aaron and Mary on April 2, 1844. No other information has been found, however, about this Robert Coppock. Aaron was among those who became intrigued with the "Gold Rush" in California in 1849, and he apparently died in Downeysville, California in that year, 1849. His youngest son (by first marriage), Henry, traveled West to try to locate his father’s grave in the 1850’s but failed to do so at that time. While only a brief amount of information is available concerning this Aaron Coppock, there is considerable material extant regarding his ancestors, relatives and descendants. The remainder of this chapter is devoted to tracing his family background and the children and grandchildren of his first cousins. NOTE: Page 19 is the beginning of all the children of Aaron & Amy (Cobbs) Coppock’s children. ************ 1850 Census CA El Dorado East Canion Pg 445 Line 15 4 4 Aaron Coppock 53 M Miner PA Wesley Crist 23 M Miner VA Geo W Crist 28 M Miner VA Benj Crist 25 M Miner VA Isham Riggons 33 M Miner NC More About AARON COPPOCK: Census: 1850, CA El Dorado East Canion Pg 445 More About AARON COPPOCK and AMY COBBS: Marriage: Bef. 1819 Notes for MARY RATLIFF: Mary Coppock was still in Henry County in 1852. http://www.rootsweb.com/~iahenry/1852henry.htm Coppock, Mary IA HENRY CO.

Co., 1922,page 2_504 ROBERT COPPOCK Since 1910 Robert Coppock has been residing retired in Athena. For many years he engaged in farming in Umatilla county and is now enjoying the fruits of his diligence and industry. Like many of Oregon’s most prominent and successful men he is a son by adoption, his birth having occurred in Henry county, Iowa, on the 2d of April, 1844. His parents were Aaron and Mary (Ratcliff) Coppock. In 1849 Aaron left Iowa and started for California in ox drawn wagons. After establishing himself temporarily in that state he sent for his wife and family and in 1852 they were preparing to join him but before they started he was killed in the mines. It was said that the father was killed by some men in the mines, their object being to get his money. The family then came direct to Oregon, and the winter of 1852-3 was spent in Oregon City. In the spring of the following year the mother and children went up the river to Jackson, thence to Peoria, and spent some time at the home of Joe Glover. Later Mrs. Coppock took up land in this section but her death occurred before she had proved up on it. The boyhood of Robert Coppock was spent in various places, and his education was obtained whenever the occasion presented itself. In 1855 he removed to Linn county, and made his home with Alec Brandon, working out on farms and also doing some carpenter work, which trade he had learned in early youth. In 1861 he made a trip to the Oro Fino mines near Lewiston, Idaho, and here as a result of his labor and close application he achieved a substantial amount of success. He soon returned to Oregon and settled in the Willamette valley and in 1872 he moved onto rented land near Athena. After operating this land for some time he purchased one hundred and sixty acres, which he improved and cultivated,, raising a most gratifying wheat crop, which he hauled to Wallowa for sale, it taking three days to make the trip. Success attended this agricultural venture of Mr. Coppock and he gradually added to his original tract, purchasing eighty acres of fine improved land and subsequently the farm of his half brother, A. R. Price, which consisted of two hundred and seventy-five acres. This land adjoined his original farm and he operated it successfully until 1910, when he removed to Athena and retired. Here he built a beautiful new home three years ago and is a prominent and active citizen. In 1866 occurred the marriage of Mr. Coppock and Miss Emma Whipple, a native of Pennsylvania. Seven children were born to this union, five of whom are still living; Mattie, Alfred, Linnie, Arthur, and Frank. Clifford died at the age of four years and Edith is also deceased. The death of Mrs. Coppock occurred in 1903, when she was fifty-eight years of age, and was a severe blow to her family and many friends, for Mrs. Coppock was prominent and active in the club and social circles of Athena and community. The political faith of Mr. Coppock is that of the republican party, in the interests of which he has always taken an active part. He has neith sought nor desired public office, preferring rather to devote his time to his business interests. There is no more public-spirited citizen than Mr. Coppock and every movement for the general good may depend upon his undivided support. Fraternally he is a member of the Masons and his religious faith is that of the Methodist Episcopal church. ************ Valley Herald - Community Scrapbook 2006 - Progress Edition Page 7 COPPOCK (Photo courtesy Violet Coppock Sampson) Frank and Arthur Coppock, standing on the side of the machine, harvesting with horses in the early 1900's.
