Event Notes Note (1) Death records of both John Randolph Hughes and his wife Victoria incorrectly state burial at Copen Cemetery in Harrison County. Their grave markers are located in Coplin Church Cemetery, near Jarvisville. Copen is in Braxton County. Note (2) Birth date given in marriage record as Aug 7 1911 in Harrison County. But her obituary states Oct 5 1911 in Braxton Co, and the date on her headstone is Oct 3 1911. Her birth record and Social Security records show it as Oct 3 1911 in Copen, Braxton County.
