"Ann Harrison, 2nd daughter of Benjamin
Harrison of Berkeley, Charles City Co., was born at
Berkeley, May 21, 1753. They were married at
Berkeley, Mar. 9, 1775". (See Note B.) "They

Henrico Co., June 1, 1776."
(2) "Ann Randolph Coupland, born at Berkeley,
Aug. 2, 1777."

NOTE A. David Coupland was a Justice of
Cumberland County, appointed Oct. 24, 1778 (O. B.
1774-8, p. 508) and vestryman of Littleton Parish.
He died in 1821. There is a land grant recorded in
Virginia land office to his grandfather David
O'Sheals, in Nansemond County, "On south side of
Nansemond river', B 15, p. 69, June 29, 1733.
NOTE B. Ann Harrison, wife of David
Coupland died in 1821. Their home was at
"Springfield", lying in both Cumberland and Buckingham
Counties, on West side of Willis' river and opposite
(North) side of Great Buffalo Creek from "Clay Bank" an
old Randolph and Trent home still standing. (See deed
from Archibald Cary to David Coupland,
Apr. 4, 1776 (D. B. 5, p. 25). House was burned
about the close of 19th century. No record in
Cumberland County of administration of estate of
David Coupland or Ann (Harrison) Coupland.
As he owned property in both counties, such records were
doubtless filed in Buckingham County, all of whose
records were burned in the last century.
Attention is called to mis-spelling of name Coupland
in Campbell's History, where a daughter of Governor
Benjamin Harrison is noted to have married "_____
Coupland" (footnote on page 145). The name is
spelled correctly in the Page genealogy,
under Randolph family notes, and in Robertson's
"Pocahontas and her Descendants", under Gay family
notes (page 38), as "Coupland". The latter
spelling appears uniformly in all documents concerning
this family recorded at Cumberland C. H., Va., as
referred to herein previously, also in will of Benj.
Harrison, The Signer (See Va. Mag. Hist. &
biography, Oct. 1925, p. 415).
From notes left by Mrs. John P. Wilson of "Bonbrook",
Cumberland County, Va., (a granddaughter of David
Coupland) it appears that David Coupland
first married, when quite young, a Mrs. Flemming and
that a son of this marriage lived a few years after his
marriage with Ann Harrison of "Berkeley" but died
young without issue.
The following notes refer to children of David
Coupland and Ann Harrison as per
numbers inserted opposite their names on copy of record
on preceding page.
(1) Elizabeth Bassett Coupland, married
Stephen Woodson Trent (1769-1844) of "Auburn",
Cumberland County, Va. (DB 6, p. 574) Justice of
Cumberland (OB 1801-03, p. 185) son and executor (DB 7,
