Monument has only the name T.J. Copeland and no dates. Montgomery Co., Arkansas Cemeteries book gives the name of T. Jeff Copeland (1861-1936).
In Brushy Cemetery are three worn and broken monuments with the names: I. Copeland, M.J. Copeland, and T. J. Copeland. These monuments are for Isabel, Mary J., and Thomas J. Copeland.
Thomas is first shown on the 1870 U. S. Federal Census in Southfork Township, Montgomery Co., Arkansas in the household of his widowed mother, Isabel, age 36. Thomas is 10 years old at the time of the census. He has the following siblings: James E. Copeland, 17, Martha E. Copeland, 13, and Mary J. Copeland, age 10. (Mary J. and Thomas J. may be twins.)
Thomas is shown on the 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 U. S. Federal Censuses in Polk Township, Montgomery Co., Arkansas. He is single and a farmer. In all probability Thomas cannot read and write, according to these various census records. All census records indicate Thomas was born in Arkansas and it appears he never married since no spouse can be found for him or a marriage record. Thomas does not appear on records after the 1930 census, indicating he died before 1940.
