I have a history of that building from 1855 or so where he is listed twice. The following is from an extract about architects and builders in Philadelphia and gives some clues about his early life - It comes from: Donna J. Rilling, "Making Houses, Crafting Capitalism: Builders in Philadelphia, 1790 to 1850 (index shows also mentioned on pages 23 and 74 but do not have book.) "A number of builders attained true proficiency at drawing. At the master's expense, carpenter Moses Lancaster sent his apprentice Charles Noble to drafting school in 1820. His apprentice Charles Conard may have also attended, affording Conard conversance with architectural drawing useful to him later as superintendent of construction for Philadelphia's Academy of Music. The young men would have learned a range of "linear" and mechanical drawing, perspective and "practical architecture". In 1820, however, drafting school did not so much signify a formal instructional institution as occasional classes offered by maser craftsmen or by men who promoted themselves as design professionals."

Rilling, chapter 4, page 18 Builders and clients drew extensively on the houses around them for room plans and decorative elements. When house carpenter Samuel Copeland and his partner Samuel Brown (a tailor) agreed in 1835 to build houses on land owned by the wealthy brewer George Pepper, the specifications for the buildings were left much to the discretion of the builders. Copeland and Brown agreed simply that "all the houses which shall front on Tenth and Eleventh Streets shall be at least three stories in height, to have marble water tables and ashlers." To assure the value of the buildings -- and relying more on tangible models than detailed contractual descriptions -- Pepper stipulated further that the buildings were "not to be inferior in size and quality to the houses built by Haas and Myers on Tenth Street." page 19 Bricklayer and client Benjamin Harker also relied on physical models when he engaged Samuel Copeland in 1818 and 1819. Harker wanted shelves in his cellar, and to that end told the carpenter, "'I want you to finish the vault, as Ware's house [next door] is:'" The artisans then "went into Ware's house, and saw the vault." page 50 When Samuel Copeland completed the carpenter work for Harker and Thorn's house, as final touches he "hung the mahogany doors, put down carpet strips . . . planed the floors and built shelves in the cellar. page 58 In 1836, after having missed his building deadline and defaulted on the contract, Samuel Copeland signed the March 1836 statement of master house carpenters alleging that "the time selected [for journeymen to strike] is when their employers have large contracts on hand . . ." --------------------- City Directory - 1810 - Samuel, carpenter, 29 Kunckle above Noble City Directory - 1830, 35 - Samuel Copeland, house carpenter, 201 Sassafras St. 1840 - Samuel, carpenter, 39 N.

The family ws originally from Hamburg, Germany and immigrated to Nova Scotia in 1752. The ones that survived later immigrated to Pennsylvania around 1757.
