About William Copp
William Copp, son of Thomas Copp and Isabel Gunne, was born 9 November 1589 at Hatton Parish, Warwickshire, England. William Copp and Anne Rogers were married on 24 November 1614 in Hatton Parish, Warwickshire, England. After Anne's death in 1633, William married Judith Itchenor.

William sailed for Massachusetts in July 1635 with his brother Richard in the barque "Blessing", commanded by Captain John Leicester. He is described on the passenger list as a "cordwainer", (shoemaker), age 26 [see Notes and Discussion, below]. He was admitted to the First Church of Boston on 20 June 1640, and was admitted freeman on 2 June 1641. Soon after arriving in Boston, William acquired a half-acre of land on the waterfront overlooking the Charles River at the head of Prince Street - originally called "Mill Field" because of a windmill used to grind corn and grain that was located on it, and subsequently called Mill Hill, Snow Hill, then Copp's Hill.

The North End where William lived became a very prosperous area, declining only after the Revolutionary War. William was a wealthy man for that period, owning two houses and outbuildings in Boston, plus 100 acres "beyond Braintree". William Copp died 27 February 1670 at Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, at the age of 80. His will dated 31 October 1662, and proved 15 March 1669/70, mentions wife Judith, daughter Tewksbury, sons David and Jonathan; daughters Ruth and Lydia; grandchildren William, Thomas, John and Mary Harvey, John and Sarah Atwood, Samuel and Sarah Norden; David was executor.
