Bio ~ The Copperton surname is synonymous with blacksmith in London. James received a modest amount of apprentice attention from the newest generation of Coppertons. He is closer in age at being youngest not oldest of his siblings. Most of the trade was being taught to the older brothers. Since it was apparent James would never be able to out craft his brothers he decided he would out business them. This left James studying the languages of England's neighbors.

Regular daily life was shattered within a week for James. English war recruiters deemed James' father too old for battle. They took with them all of the Copperton adult men except for the aging patriarch. The proud Copperton refused to allow another one of his sons to become drafted. He soon decided to send James to the New World where he hoped the effect of European conflicts would not be felt.
