ZIMRY COPPOCK, farmer; P. O. West Milton; was born in Union Township in the year 1819, and is a son of William and Charity Coppock, who were born in South Carolina, and, with their parents, came to Ohio in the year 1806; they purchased land of Isaac Hasket; also entered a tract of land adjoining, on which Grandfather Coppock made his permanent home until his decease, which occurred at an advanced age. William Coppock, father of Zimry, made his home on the land purchased from Hasket; he was married to Charity Hollingsworth, by whom he had eleven children, of whom three are living, viz., James, Rachel and Zimry; the deceased are Henry, Isaac, Eli, Sarah, Delilah, Esther, Jane, and an infant; William Coppock departed this life in the 66th year of his age, his wife at the age of 41 years 1 month and 23 days; he was born on the 10th of 3d month, 1797, she the 25th of 12th month, 1797. Zimry’s early days were spent on the farm, where he labored till his 21st year. He was married to Mary Coppock in the year 1845; she is a daughter of Moses Coppock, who was a native of South Carolina, and settled in Ohio at a very early day. Mr. and Mrs. Z. Coppock have had four children, three are living, viz., Eunice, Lydia and Almeda; Martha (Mrs. Kunkleman) died, leaving three children. After his marriage, Zimry removed to Newton Township, where he owned a farm of 80 acres, upon which he lived some time, then returned to the old home place, where he has since resided; he owns 113 acres of fine land, which is all in a good state of cultivation, with average buildings erected thereon. He and his wife belong to the denomination of Friends, and are exemplary Christian people. The Coppock family, in connection with the Coates, trace back to the colony established by William Penn, thus giving them a record of which they may well be proud.
