James Copeland



Excursions

This clan went on stealing, robbing, killing people and burning houses in different places until May 1843 they came to Perry County, Miss., to a man by the name of Allen Brown on Red Creek. They hung around here until August. They killed people's fat yearlings and hogs in the woods for their meats.

They all stole mules, horses and Negroes and sold until they had about $30,000.00 in gold clear of all expenses. This was to be divided between Copeland, Wages and McGrath.
