Cruel Coppinger - 1790s - Cornwall
I'd like to find out more about the man known as 'Cruel Coppinger' who was said to be a smuggler and wrecker off the coast of Cornwall in the late 1790s. He married a local girl and amassed a large fortune, so the story goes. He also had certain interests in Roscoff, France. He has become something of a local legend in Cornwall. Does anyone have further information?
Thanks Angela
