Gregory,

I have Ann Lynch Coppic being born late in 1804. It appears she
was still a widow when she moved to Springdale in 1850. In the
fall of that year she would have turned 46 years old. I don't
know how soon after that she remarried, but in any case, it seems
unlikely that she had any more children by Joseph Raley.

I had planned in my previous message to tell you where the east
half of the southeast quarter of section 1, on which Ann Coppic
settled, would have been.

It will be easier to explain if I make certain you understand
what a section is. The countryside hereabouts is divided into
squares one mile on a side. These are known as sections.
Generally, 36 sections make up a township, a square six miles on
a side. The sections in a township are numbered, beginning with
number 1 at the northeast corner of the township, consecutively
across the northern tier of sections from east to west, then
across the next tier south from west to east, so that section 12
is directly south of section 1. Counting from east to west and
west to east is repeated twice, until section 36 is reached in
the southeastern corner of the township.

Springdale Township is the southwesternmost township in Cedar
County, so the northeast corner section 1 is six miles east and
six miles north of the southwestern corner of the county.

Springdale is a two-street town. Most of the houses are along
the two sides of the paved road that runs east from West Branch,
with the houses on the north side of the road being along the
south edge of section 1, and those on the south side of the road
being on the north edge of section 12. The other street in town
that has a few houses on it runs north from the pavement,
dividing section 1 into equal halves. All the houses on this
second road are within a little more than a quarter mile of the
pavement. The Friends Cemetery is about a half mile north of the
pavement on this road; this is the site of the old Red Cedar
Friends Meetinghouse.

Just beyond the east edge of town is another paved road, running
north and south along the east edge of sections 1 and 12. Just
south of town this second paved road intersects with Interstate
80 at exit 259.

The east half of the southeast quarter of section 1 would be a
rectangular plot, stretching from the northwest quadrant of the
intersection of the two paved roads, one half mile north and one
quarter mile west, 1/8 of a square mile, or 80 acres.
