Census Record Tables of Surname CUPP (and Variations)
in 1850 in Illinois
Below is my attempt at extracting all German CUPP/COPP/KAPP/etc. records from the 1850 census of Illinois.  Family names link to family group sheets where the full census record and other information may be found.  Persons were born in Illinois unless otherwise indicated.  Where known, parents of heads-of-households are given.

Typically English surnames (viz., COPE, COPES, CAPE, CAPES) were checked and are noted below, but were not fully extracted unless they were obviously German.
