Our Sanders and Cope Family Connections
Alma Harings
My Grundy Co TN Sanders family connects to the Cope family of Warren Co TN through the union of my gg grandfather Milton Porter Sanders (1836-1911) of Pelham, Tennessee and his first wife Salina Patton Cope (1838-1871) of Warren County Tennessee. Porter and Salina begat my great grandfather William Lafayette Sanders (1871-1958) who begat my grandfather Cecil S Sanders who begat my mother Peggy J Sanders of Jenkins Ky.
Milton and Salina married in Polk County Illinois on 3 December 1857. Salina bore Milton 5 children with her last being ( my great grandfather) Wm L Sanders on 27 Feb 1871 in Monteagle, TN.. Unfortunately, Salina passed away just a few short months later on the 23rd of June 1871. My attempts to locate her death record or cause of death have been unsuccessful though I suspect that she died from complications associated with the childbirth. Unfortunately, situations such as these were not all that uncommon back then. Salina was only 33.
Stephen Cope, Sr. (1806-1887)
Salina's father Stephen P Cope, Sr. was born in the area known as present day Warren County Tennessee in 1806. Stephen followed in the footsteps of his father and was a farmer by occupation and a Democrat in his political views. Stephen Cope Sr was a constable in Warren County TN for six years as well as a justice of the peace for twelve years. Stephen and his Cherokee bride Comfort Bolin- Cope, were the parents of sixteen children with our Sanders line descending from their daughter Salina Patton Cope, wife of Milton Porter Sanders and mother to my gg gf William Lafayette Sanders.

James Cope (1776-1874)
Salina's grandfather James Cope was born in North Carolina about 1776 and was the father of Stephen Lankfordtown Cope (1806-1885) of Warren County Tennessee. It is believed that James Cope came to Warren County Tennessee as early as 1800. He did return to North Carolina after the death of his first wife, Lydia Payne, to marry his second wife, Mary Crouch. James produced for children prior to his death in Warren County at age 98. The 1820 census of Warren County Tennessee lists James as owning 4 slaves. The Census records of 1840 listed ten (10) slaves and the 1850 Census listed James as owning twelve (12) slaves. James owned quite a bit of land in the Warren County Tennessee area, at least 1,500 acres. Most of this land he gave to his former slaves after the Civil War some of which also took the Cope surname. His grave is located in an abandoned cemetery about 75 yards off Northcutt Cove Rd in southern Warren County. There are two large slabs of stone covering his grave and that of his second wife. The other graves in the cemetery are supposedly of his former slaves and their descendents.

The Coppinger Journal [ca 1833]
The following information was originally given to Mike Fromholt by Betty M Majors during his trip to McMinnville Tennseesse in 1999. Betty said that it came from a photocopy of a book that was in the possession of a Trudy Coppinger and how this "Trudy" fits into the Cope family line has yet to be discovered. On the margin of the book was written "Bought in Warren County on the 1st thursday in August on Eleection Day in 1833." The Females Praticle Monitor or Guide to Health" by Thom A Anderson,M.D., 1832".
It appears that this was someones personal journal where they kept a running log of the family births and deaths . It lists all 16 children of Stephen and Comfort Cope as well as some of the descendants and other associated family members. The information given within this journal has been found to be consistently correct and as far as I know, there are only two people in this list that Mike F. has been unable to identify as descendants of Stephen and Comfort. The two entries in question are Earnest Sanders and Livsay Sanders even though it is suspected they are associated with the line of Lousia Cope and Andrew Sanders.
This was the first document I found which offered a birthdate for my great grandfather Wm L Sanders as well as info about his mother: Salina Patton Cope (Sanders) b. Mar 8, 1838 - d. 23 June 1871. All was later verified as correct through comparison with primary source records currently in my possession.) ( Also see birth and death information for Comfort) The journal can be viewed in its entirity by Clicking here .
