Greenup Hopkins (b. 19 May 1809 KY -
Bible record) married 20 June 1833
Julia Ann Howell in Logan Co. OHIO.
They moved from Logan Co. to Davis Co. Iowa in 1848, had 10 children (have names and
marriages), and died 18 July 1859 Fabius Twp, Davis Co. Iowa.
Greenup was a son of Hazzard Hopkins who was born about 1780 in
Washington Co. PA to Ezekiel and Sarah (Hazzard) Hopkins. They were
from Sussex Co. DE. Ezekiel was the son of John Hopkins (d. 1745) and
unknown wife. John was the son of Samuel Hopkins (1668-1744) and Jennet
Noble; Samuel was the son of Samuel (1636-1711) and Hannah Turner. The
Samuels both served in the Maryland legislature and were active in the
Presbyterian Church. Well docuemented. They lived originally in
Somerset Co. MD, but when Worcester Co. was formed in 1742, their land
was there, and they were in that part of Worcester which was taken by
Sussex Co. Delaware. (Finding records is a real treasure hunt because
of the border changes.)
Ezekiel and Sarah sold his father's land HOPKINS DISCOVERY as "eldest
son" in Sussex Co. DE in 1778 and moved to Washington Co. PA (south of
Pittsburgh). Then about 1790 they moved to Kentucky, finally settling
in Cane Ridge, Bourbon Co. KY. Sarah died before April 1813 when
Ezekiel married Susannah Davis.
Greenup was brother to Zerilda Hopkins who m. Rev. John Wesley Brock,
a Methodist circuit rider; they were my gg grandparents. This is
probably more than you wanted to know about my family.
I am wondering who William Hopkins was. Could he have been related to
our branch? Otherwise, why was he in the same county as Greenup's
family? Cousins? (Or just a coincidence?)
