I am Coleman (Chip) Copas son of Coleman (Duke) Copas, and grandson of Coleman (Junior) Copas. I would very much like to know what country the Copas family in Adams County originated from.

Adams Co OH Copas traces directly back to Berkeley Co [West] VA (look for Satterfield Interviews) then to Baltimore MD, then most likely to Barbados and a John Copas who indentured himself for 5 years to pay passage to VA. Barbados was an English colony, most descendants believe the name to be primarily English, but there may be a Spanish (?Armada) contribution as well.
