Notes: John was living with his daughter Emily in 1841 and two of his grandchildren; both named William. John started the family wheel-wright business.

John's ancestry can be deduced from the will of his brother, William Coppen, yeoman of Lenham, dated 1840. William's will makes bequests to his eight brothers and sisters:
Sister Susanna Coppen
Brother Edward Coppen
Sister Caroline Coppen of the parish of Stepney
Brother John Coppen of East Farleigh, wheelwright
Sister Elizabeth Coppen of St George, Southwark, spinster
Sister Sarah Coppen of Stepney, spinster
Brother George Coppen of Stepney
Five children of my sister Ann Clark, widow

These are the names of the children of Jeffrey Coppen and Mary, of Linton - and given the John in the will is described as a wheelwright, and of East Farleigh, this is a good quality match.

George Coppen of Stepney's will provides further evidence in support:

Will written 1842
Sister Sarah Coppen
Sister Caroline Coppen
Sister Elizabeth Coppen
Sister Susan Coppen
Brother John Coppen of East Farleigh, wheelwright
Clark children of his deceased sister Ann Clark

Codicil written 1847
Brother Edward Coppen
Four sisters - Sarah, Caroline, Elizabeth, Susan

And then Sarah Coppen's will, proved 1854 provides conclusive proof by making the following bequests:
Three sisters - Elizabeth, Susan and Caroline
Nephew Jonathan Clark, son of sister Ann
William Coppen, of East Farleigh, Kent, son of my brother John Coppen

This is also corroborated by John's gravestone at Lenham.
