Biography
Robert was born in 1608. Robert is the child of Lawrence Copeland and Ruth Hill.
Baptism 21 February 1607/1608, Robert Cawplann son of Lawrence Cawplann, at Cockerham, Lancashire.[1] Cockerham is about 4 miles from Dolphinholme and 7 miles from Dolphinlee where Lawrence lived.
The Copeland family were Roman Catholic recusants, and mass was held in secret at their house at Dolphinlee.[2] They were on the Royalist side in the Civil War, and Robert appears in the Royalist Composition Papers 1652 to reclaim his father's estate: "24 June 1652. Claim allowed, with arrears from the father's death, on fuller proof of the death, and on the son's taking the oath of abjuration."[3]
Death place is shown as Maine, but there is a burial of Robert Coapeland of Dolfen Lee on 19 August 1670 at St Mary's, Lancaster, England.[4]
