John Green B. Copeland was the son of Richard Peter Copeland and his first wife Louisa Sarah Turner. [Note: She was called "Lenezer" by her family.]

His parents were wealthy and socially prominent in Brundidge. His father was a Minister as well as a Planter, and very active in the Baptist Church in Brundidge.

He went by Green Copeland in some legal documents. Unsure what the initial "B." represented among Green's given names, but he was also called "Boze" Copeland. [If anyone knows what the initial B represents, please contact me.] This family line often had multiple given names.

John married Nancy Barbara Hutchison on 12 Sept 1872 in Pike County, AL.

They had 10 known children:
Jesse R. Copeland (probably Richard, after his Grandfather Copeland)
Martha "Mattie" Penelope Copeland (Penelope for her Great Grandmother Copeland)
James H. Copeland
Beaurie Aaron Copeland (often seen spelled as 'Aaren'
Susan Louisa Copeland (after her Grandmother Copeland)
Katie Lisher (sic) Copeland
Grover Cleveland Copeland
Cephas Martin Copeland
Barbara Rebecca Copeland
Robert John Green Copeland
