Research Notes

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wilhelm-26

There has been some confusion between Johann Nicholas Koppel)of Pennsylvania and Johan Nicolas Copple, of Maryland/North Carolina. Both are linked to women with a similar name, Maria Anna Catherine Wilhelm and Anna Maria (Williams) Keppel (1736-1820) and their marriage dates have been conflated.

It is possible that the two wives have goten mixed up. Some sources cite a marriage date for Maria Anna WIlhelm abd NIcolas Copple on 28 September 1851 in Bedminster, Bucks, Pennsylvania while the other NIcholas is recorded as marrying Maria Williams on 28 September 1856 in Tohickon, Bedminster, Bucks, Pennsylvania.[2]. . While it is entirely possible that one man married Anna Maria Williams and the other married Maria Anna Wilhelm, it is unlikely they were married on the same day in the same place, 6 years apart. It seems more likely that someone mixed up the two couples and then reocrded the marriage date wrong. hsi will be solved if we can find a marriage record for NIcholas Copple and Maria Anna or of him marrying someone else to disprove this connection.

This Maria Anna had children whose birth dates are reported as being between 1853 and 1857 in Germany, so if these are accurate, this couple would not have been married in Pennsylvania in 1851.

Also, this Maria Anna has a birthplace of Herbetzheim, Alsace, which is where Johann Nicholas Koppel is from. So if this birthplace proves to be accurate for her, it si unlikely that Johan Nicolas Copple is her husband.

More research is needed to work out if this is actually one woman or two. Patterson-15268
