Hannah Cope Plimpton

Hannah Rebecca Cope was born in Hanover, Ohio, on June 18, 1841. She was in a direct line of descendants from Oliver Cope, a Quaker, who came to America with William Penn in 1662. Her father, Nathan Cope, and mother, Elizabeth B. Taylor, were reared in West Chester, Pennsylvania. After their marriage, in 1833, they emigrated to the "Far West", to Columbiana County, Ohio, where their daughter Hannah was born, in the town of Hanover, Ohio. In 1856, the Copes moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, to give their children better educational advantages. ==Career==
