46. Ann L. Raley, wife of Samuel
Coppock. She came to Cedar County Iowa in 1850 with minor children Levi
and Maria B from Salem Monthly Meeting in Ohio. (Her husband being
deceased.) The Salem, Iowa Quaker records also show that Edwin L. son of
Ann L. came from Upper Springfield Meeting in Ohio in 1850. Lydia and
Joseph, children of Ann L., rocf from New Garden Meeting in Ohio in
1850. No record of Barclay is found in the Salem records. On page 695
Vol. IV Salem Monthly Meeting in Ohio 1853 Barclay, minor get Red Cedar,
Iowa. Red Cedar later became Springdale in Cedar County and there were
routes of the Underground Railroad there. Edwin was captured at Harpers
Ferry and was hanged on 16 December 1859. Barclay escaped, but
subsequently was killed fighting in the Civil War. Both had participated
in the raid at Harper’s Ferry. Interesting to note that their mother was
at this gathering in 1875. She had married Joseph Raley in 1853.
Salem Monthly Meeting (church) created Red Cedar Monthly Meeting
(church) in 1853 so the family may not have actually lived in Salem,
just their church records before 1853 keep with Salem Meetings. Children
of Samuel Coppock and Ann Lynch listed on page 943, Vol. IV, Upper
Springfield Meeting and are: Levi born 1832. 2,25; Maria 1833, 10,31;
Edwin 1835, 6, 30; Lydia 1836, 12, 5 and Barclay 1839, 1,4. Joseph is
not listed. Samuel was born 1803, 11,29 and died 1841, 11,8 and is

wife Ann L born 7-25-1804 died ? 1885 , buried Springdale, Iowa. Maria
Tabor died before 1867. So Ann lost four children in less than ten
years.
From The Iowan June-July 1956 by Curt Harnack "page 47 "…The first Iowan
to be killed in the conflict that was later to develop into the Civil
War was Edwin Coppoc of Springdale. Edwin’s Quaker mother apprehensively
watched her two sons depart for Harper’s Ferry. 'I believe you are going
with old Brown,’ She said. 'When you get the halters around your necks
will you think of me?’
Later when her prophecy came true, Edwin Coppoc wrote just before his
execution 'Thank God the principles in which we are engaged will not die
with me and my brave comrades. By the taking of my life … Virginia is
but hastening on the glorious day when the slaves will rejoice in their
freedom' "
Interesting notes
James Comer married Tamar Ann Hobson in 1867
She returns to Salem from Cedar Creek in 1865 where she and her husband
George and family went in 1860. No husband is listed with her when she
returns. If you remember from list of owners of the Lewelling property
that Tamar and her husband George Hobson had sold to Amos Kimberly the
property in 1854.
Peter Hobson in the above list is the son of
Joseph and Mary Hobson disf du (disowned for disunity- probably went to
un-programmed meeting) on 8-2-1879.
Samuel son of Joseph and Mary married Rachel
Comer and Sarah Jane Hobson d/o Peter Hobson married Samuel Comer.
There is a good likelihood that the Hobson’s
that lived in the Lewelling house were involved with the Underground
Railroad. Could the Hobson family have rent the house before they
purchased it in 1853 and carry on the work of the Underground Railroad
Henderson Lewelling had been involved with? Henderson Lewelling left in
1847 and his brother John in 1853.
From the above list you see that over one
third of those listed as conductors and stockholders had ties to the
Salem Monthly Meeting of Friends. I did not check to see who else was
from the Salem, Iowa area.
