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.
