clay Coppoc. His relationship to the Coppocs may have

led Hinton into an error which has been repeated by

many subsequent writers. Barclay Coppoc, however,

was in Kansas about this time and was closely asso-

ciated with those who were aiding negroes to escape

from Missouri. Whether he actually had any part in

this particular raid is a question.

Chaulkley T. Lipsey was born at Mount Pleasant,

Ohio, in 1838. Ball came from Springdale, Iowa, to

Kansas. All three of the young men who lost their lives

were Quakers.

 

LEVI COPPOC AT ANTIOCH COLLEGE

It has frequently been reported in the public press

that Edwin Coppoc, who was with John Brown at

Harper's Ferry, was at one time a student at Antioch

College, Yellow Springs, Ohio. A letter recently ad-

dressed to the librarian of the college, Emily Turner,

brought the following reply:

"We do not find in any of our catalogs the name of Edwin

Coppoc. The name of Levi Coppoc appears as a student in

1853-1854. Springdale, Iowa, was given as his address. James

Coppock, of West Milton, Ohio, was a student in 1855-1856."

Levi Coppoc was an elder brother of Edwin Coppoc,

as already stated on another page of this issue of the

QUARTERLY. As West Milton, now Milton, was set-

tled by Quakers, it is probable that James Coppock was

also related to Edwin.
