Jake Copp, his wife and his sons left Württemburg in 1703 bound for England. This could possibly be the Jacob Kop who embarked July 15, 1709 from Rotterdam and sailed to England; the following April they departed for New World arriving at the port of New York in June or July 1710 with his wife and four children, "with the fifth party of Palatines."
Jake Kop is found in 1710 at Mohawk Valley, New York. In 1711 he served in the Hayesbury Company of Palatinate Volunteers in the Expedition against Canada in Queen Annes War. The Governors List puts his rations in 1712 as six people in the family over the age of ten years. Jacob was naturalized as a British citizen by the major at the Town Hall in Albany, New York on Oct. 11, 1715.
Jacob Kopp came to the Tulpehocken region of Berks County, Pennsylvania between 1723 and 1725 (on Jan 10, 1725 he is listed on the tax list for the region). According to the tax records of Amity Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, he (Jacob Kapp, 1752/54/56, Jacob Cop 1768, Jacob Cup 1780, 1781, and 1784) had 200 acres of land, 4 horses, and a "goodly" amount of cattle.

The Thirty Years War (1618-48) was a general European war, fought mainly in Germany. The religious hatreds that flared into the Thirty Years War had smoldered for more than half a century before 1618. In large measure, this situation had resulted from the weaknesses of the Peace of Augsburg, an agreement concluded in 1555 between the Holy Roman emperor and the Lutheran princes of Germany. Although the war had many issues, it may be considered mainly a struggle of German Protestant princes and foreign powers (France, Sweden, Denmark, England, the United Provinces) against the unity and power of the Holy Roman Empire allied with the Catholic princes of Germany. The Hapsburg empire then included Austria, Spain, Bohemia, most of Italy, and the Netherlands. It consisted in actuality of a series of wars as regents entered and left the conflict at various times. Ostensibly about religious freedom (or oppression) a major underlying motive for the continued fighting was political alignment of Europe, and the building or curtailing of power of several empires. Until 1635 several princes invaded parts of Germany and after early gains by Protestant forces, France joined the struggle primarily to oppose the continuance of the Hapsburgs of Austria. Under the peace of Westphalia of 1648, France became the dominant power in Europe with Catholicism its official religion. The religious settlement at Westphalia confirmed the predominance of Catholicism in southern Germany and of Protestantism in northern Germany. The principle accepted by the Peace of Augsburg of 1555 that Catholic and Lutheran princes could determine the religion practiced in their territory was maintained, and this privilege was extended to include the Calvinists as well. The real losers in the war were the German people. Over 300,000 had been killed in battle. Millions of civilians had died of malnutrition and disease, and wandering, undisciplined troops had robbed, burned, and looted almost at will. Most authorities believe that the population of the Empire dropped from about 21,000,000 to 13,500,000 between 1618 and 1648. Even if they exaggerate, the Thirty Years War remains one of the most terrible in history. [Columbia, Encarta, Winona]
Decades after the end of the Thirty Years War, Germany still lay in ruins, politically divided and weak, and with religious fervor running high. The Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran and Reformed churches of the lands were officially recognized (but not the Anabaptists). France, unified with difficulty by Henry IV, strengthened by Louis XIII, aided by the efforts of Richelieu, had become the leading power in Europe under Louis XIV. Even though the king had directive power in the matter of appointments with the Catholic church, he felt obliged to prove his Catholicism each time he opposed papal authority. Although legally still recognized in France, the Reformed church was annihilated by the Edict of Fountainbleau in 1685, and the total suppression of the Protestant cult followed. Already by that time in many rural parts of France reunifications of faith had taken place, in which Protestant officials and families had been forced to renounce their faith and swear allegiance to Catholicism, or face loss of their position, lands, and goods. Now, however, all Protestant churches were ordered destroyed throughout the land.
As a result, many families left for other lands. One source traces the migrations of people from the Abriés valley, in the Dauphiné province of France, over a period of three years. Between 1683-85 several bands moved across the border into Swiss Confederation. Some of the men returned in the spring of 1686 to get members of their families, friends and relatives. Migration continued northward toward Zurich in the summer of 1686 and by the fall several families pressed to move into Palatine. In January 1687 they were granted permission 40 families with 300 children, to settle there. Because of the ravages of the Thirty Years War, the local population had almost been extinguished. Migration continued in the summer of 1687, other families choosing to leave France now that the earlier refugees had established a place to settle. As the trickle continued, villages which had been desolate earlier filled completely and newly arriving emigrants moved farther north into Palatine.
However, in 1688 Louis XIV sent troops into Palatine, and along the banks of the Rhine, and into Württemburg. The terrified French colonists sold goods and possession and fled a second time. Some went north, on to Frankfort and beyond into the area of Kessel. Others, however, returned to Switzerland, where so many refugees gathered that the local populace tried to bar any further entrants. By late 1688 German forces had begun to arrive from the Hungarian provinces and through the winter began to repulse the French troops. With France distracted by happening in England and German Empire troops guarding the border areas, many of the refugees living in overcrowded Switzerland decided to return to Palatine. Settling again in the spring and summer of 1689, many survived starvation that year and began to reap better harvests in 1690. Things looked better for a few years, but due to struggles between the various princes, war continued to smolder and a new outbreak of fighting began in the spring of 1693. Emigrant French families in Palatine then trudged northward to Frankfort, from whence they scattered to all the winds. Some continued the trek farther north into Germany, others returned once again to Switzerland. Wilhelmsdorf in Franconia, Magdeburg, and Brandenberg became home to sizable colonies of expatriate Frenchmen.
Now distracted with Spain and concerned over larger political alliances, including the Netherlands and England, France once more gave up pursuit of German border provinces. Keeping Strasborg and Alsace, in 1797 King Louis XIV renounced French claims to Palatine and set forth the following religious settlements. Around the area of the Rhine those practicing Catholicism would be permitted to continue to do so; Palatine would ban further emigrations of French people, and those already there would not be allowed to return to France (unless they accepted Catholicism). The following year a number of those who had fled Palatine desired to return. Coming from Piedmont, Zurich and Lausanne, they discovered the homes they had abandoned were inhabited by Mennonites. Arriving in the fall of 1698, they were given new lands that winter and by the summer of 1699 New Schauerberg with French inhabitants was flourishing alongside Old Schauerberg of German folk in Palatine.
Yet again in 1707 and 1720, new French invasions of German countries caused more upheaval and more dislocations of entire families. It is little wonder that so many people of both French and German origin chose to leave the Palatinate for the New World [Bellon].
In the 18th Century, conditions were poor in the Palatinate section of Germany. In 1709 a large colony of Palatines emigrated from Germany to the New World, mostly arriving via English ships at Philadelphia. Many traveled to New York and settled in the Mohawk Valley, where conditions were as bad as, if not worse than, Germany. By 1712 many had migrated down the Tulpehocken Valley into the Berks County, Pennsylvania area. A number had returned to Germany with tales of woe, and the exodus halted. By 1727 Palatines had begun emigrating again and they arrived in large numbers until the time of the American Revolution. Almost all of them settled first in Pennsylvania, but in the late 1700's many migrated down the Shenandoah Valley into Maryland and Virginia, in some cases even as far as North Carolina. Westward migration to Ohio and the Midwest generally did not begin until the early 1800's [Breitbard].

It is not certain whether George ever married Jane. She is apparently a descendant of Gen. Hugh Mercer, who was wounded in George Washington's Christmas Eve, 1776 attack on Trenton, New Jersey and died of his wounds on Jan 12 1777.
