Joseph Lynch Coppoc was born to Ann Lynch and Samuel Coppock. Edwin Coppoc, the oldest brother was a master speller and he dropped the "k" from the last name and all of the children followed suit. Samuel Coppock kept the "k".
Edwin Coppoc and Barclay Coppoc joined John Brown in his failed attempt to seize the arsenal in Harper's Ferry, Virginia. Barclay with two others were part of the rear guard and managed to escape capture. Edwin was captured and hung by the Virginia government after nearly escaping on the eve of his hanging. This was only the beginning of what was to become the Civil War.
Joseph was made a Captain on June 5, 1863, on the date of his discharge from Company G, Iowa 13th. Many publications state he made the rank of Major, but this can not be confirmed.
All of the Coppock boys were raised in the Quaker religion to not take up arms. However, their mother Ann Lynch was a strong abolitionist and instilled these principles on her boys.
Upon completion of Joseph's service in the Union Army, he was no longer accepted in the Quaker community in Iowa. At some point he became a Baptist minister before moving to Chambers, Nebraska. Around 1900 he is listed as marrying several couples in the Holt County area.
