Here’s an inquiry from Linda Sheldon. Can you help? Please respond in a comment or to copsons@copson.org
My great grandfather was one of two sons of Ephraim Copson. Robert was the oldest, a broom maker in the Omaha area after the Civil War. His son Robert moved to Los Angeles and died in the 1920s.
My great grandfather was David Alington Copson, who went to Indiana on the Kentucky border, fought in the Civil War and worked with Robert in his broom making business and died in the Civil War home in Marion Indiana. His daughter, Ethel, was my grandmother, but she died when my father was very young.
David was married prior to his marriage to my great grandmother, Mrs. Sarah Bevins Nichols and had a son Clyde who was an artist.
Do you have any additional information about any of these people?
Thank you
Linda Sheldon
