- Our Sanders and Cope Family Tennessee Connections
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. To learn about Comfort's tribal
affiliation, visit the following URL and find Comfort listed within the Chikamaka Cherokee Roll there:

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.
