• Notes

  The "emigrant" Lawrence Copeland came to Boston and settled in Braintre e, MA sometime in the 1630's. He married late in life. He pr obably like most of the MA settlers, emigrated from the east c oast of England. There is quite a clan of Copelands in the vicinity of N ewcastle, England and have been for a very long time. The name crops up i n the 13th century and probably earlier, then spelled Coupland and Coup launde. John and William seem to be favorite names. Their crest is a 'S wan with a broken wing.' Among the Quincy inscriptions is the following: "In memory of Mr. Lawre nce Copeland,who died Dec.30,1699 with 100 years of age".settled in Bra instree (Braintry), MA in 1637. Founder of northern Branch of Copeland F amily.
