In (Abinger c.3 f127) Godwin's mother wrote that Mr Cubit died a few weeks after his 2nd marriage, left most to Mr Copland's family. Godwin's elder brother John was apprenticed in 1767 to Samuel Cubitt grocer of Norwich. Samuel Cubitt married 19.6.1797 at St Andrew Norwich Mary Cubitt and was buried at Norwich 9.11.1797. There were a number of Coplands round Norfolk at that time, but the most likely seems to be John Dawson Copland, farmer of Great Witchingham, four of whose children by his wife Elizabeth (nee Sudlow 1753-1834 married at Lowestoft 1779) were baptised by John Sykes (successor to Godwin's father) at Guestwick Independent between 1787 and 1794. In 1796 Lucy daughter of James (probably a mistake for John) & Elizabeth Copland of Great Witchingham was baptised by Sykes, and also that year a John Copland aged 16 was buried by him. In 1804 J D Copland chaired a meeting in Norwich of a Dissenters' Benevolent Society (Bury & Norwich Post 2.5.1804). His daughter Lucy seems to have married the son of George Sothren.
