Notes for FRANCIS HOPKINS:
FRANCIS HOPKINS WAS A "TORY" DURING THE "REVOLUTIONARY WAR".
HE WAS A RENEGADE BANDIT, NOT JUST A MERE "TORY", BUT ONE OF A BAND OF ROBBERS
AND MURDERERS, AROUND THE SETTLEMENT OF HOLSTON.
FRANCIS CAME INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE WILLIAM CAMPBELL LIVED, AND DURING HIS BEING
THERE, WILLIAM CAMPBELL'S GATES WERE PLACARDED THREATENING HIS LIFE. A FEW DAYS
LATER CAMPBELL IN THE COMPANY OF HIS WIFE AND A LARGE NUMBER OF PERSONS WAS COMING HOME
FROM CHURCH FROM THE EBBING SPRING MEETING HOUSE.
CAMPBELL DID NOT KNOW HOPKINS, BUT AS HOPKINS PASSED IT WAS STATED BY SOME ONE THAT THAT
WAS HOPKINS.
WILLIAM CAMPBELL INSTANTLY WHEELED HIS HORSE AROUND, WHICH WAS A FINE HORSE AND MADE OUT
FOR HOPKINS.
IN A MILE OR TWO HOPKINS CAME INTO SIGHT, AND HOPKINS KNOWING THAT IT WAS CAMPBELL;
HOPKINS ALSO BEING ON A FINE HORSE TOOK OFF AT HIS BEST SPEED. THE RACE CONTINUED A MILE
OR SO TO THE MIDDLE OF THE FORK OF THE HOLSTON RIVER.
HOPKINS REACHING A BLUFF JUMPED HIS HORSE DOWN 15 TO 20 FEET INTO THE RIVER. CAMPBELL WAS
IN CLOSE PURSUIT AND FOLLOWED HIM INTO THE RIVER. THE JUMP THREW HOPKINS OFF HIS HORSE.
HOPKINS WAS THE STRONGER OF THE TWO AND WAS ALMOST DROWNING CAMPBELL, WHEN EDMISTON AND
SEVERAL OTHER MEN CAME TO HELP.
BY THIS ASSISTANCE HOPKINS WAS SUBDUED AND TAKEN TO THE RIVER BANK.
ALL KNEW THAT HOPKINS WAS A DESPERATE CHARACTER AND KNEW THAT NO JAIL IN WHICH HE COULD BE
SECURED. THEY HELD A CONSULTATION, AND DECIDED THAY THEY WOULD HANG HHIM AND DID SO
FORTHWITH, BY STICKING HIS NECK IN THE FORK OF A LEANING SYCAMORE TREE WHICH BENT OVER THE
RIVER.
FRANCIS AND HIS MEN WERE TERMED "BANDITS, ROBBERS, AND MURDERERS. HE WAS ALSO
PASSING COUNTERFEIT MONEY AND HE WAS FOUND GUILTY AND SENTENCED AUGUST 20 1778 AT
WASHINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA. HE WAS IN NEWSBURY, NEW YORK, WYOMING VALLEY, PENNSYLVANIA,
AND WASHINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA.

RICHARD KIRBY came from Massachusetts to Long Island and
settled at
Littleworth, near Hempstead Harbor.
Richard KIRBY married Elizabeth ARNOLD HOPKINS in 1674.
She was the widow
of Joseph HOPKINS, already having two children by him, Anne and Ichabod.
According to his will at Oyster Bay, Richard KIRBY had four children:
1) Thomas
It is unlikely that the mother of Thomas was Elizabeth, as Thomas
married her daughter, Anne. The mother of Thomas could have been
Patience GIFFORD, who would have been the second wife to Richard
KIRBY, Sr.
The children of Thomas and Anne HOPKINS KIRBY were:
- William m. 1733 to Sarah WILLETS
- Thomas m. Rosannah CARPENTER
- Richard died of smallpox, apparently unmarried
- Daniel m. Hannah LATTING
- Mary m. Henry VALENTINE
- Elizabeth m. Benjamin THORNYCRAFT
2) William
3) Elizabeth
4) Mary

No Official list of passangers coming with William Arnold's family has
been found but the persons named in the "Family Record" written by him
contains the name of persons who came, if not in the same, in another ship
about the same time. The Arnold group as given in The Arnold Merorial
included:
William Arnold, aged 48, son of Nicholas and Alice (Gully) Arnold of
Ilchester; Christian Peack (wife), age 51, daughter of Thomas Peak of Muchelney
anciently Molchelney.

The "Family Record" Written by William Arnold from which the above exaerpts
were taken are corraborated by the church registers found at Northover and
the "Bishop's Transcript" at wells, 1595-1635. It was found that the
"Family Record" of the Arnold Family is Correborated by the Bishop's Transcripts
that
contain many returns from St. Mary's Church of Ilchester.
Mr. Arnold cites from four items of evidence that authonticate the name
and dates in the William and Joane (Arnold) Hopkins line.
1. Family record brought from England by William Arnold
2. Deed from William Carpenter, recorded at Providence.
3. researches made in the sumer of 1902 at Northover, Wells and elsewhere
in England by Edson Sailsbury jones, Esq. of Port Chester, New York.

England; bpt. April 7, 1616 d. 1684 at Littleworth Plantation, Oyster Bay,
New York; m. abt. 1648. The wife died prior to the out breck of King
Philip's War in 1675 and her husband's departure for Oyster Bay. Thomas Hopkins died
while living with a daughter-in-law Elizabeth who was the wife of Richard Kirby. .
By her
former husband she had children names Icabod and Anne Hopkins. This Elizabeth is
supposed to be the daughter- in- law of Thomas and former wife of a son who had died
before or soon after settlement of a part of the family on Long Island The
manner of settlement of the estate of Thomas Hopkins is given in the Genealogical
Dictionary of Rhode Island page 324. It is as follows:
1684, Sept. 17
It was order by authorities of Oyster Bay on application of William and Thomas Hopkins of
Providence, sons of deceased, that an inventory should be taken of the estate of said
Thomas Hopkins, deceased at the house of Richard Kirby. Thomas Hopkins died on or
before Nov. 10, 1684. On receipt of letter from Richard Kirby in regard to the death
of Thomas Hopkins, the two sons in Providence to whom the letter was addressed, wrote to
the Selectmen of Oyster Bay, of plantation called Littleworth, asking them to appoint
Ephrain Carpenter and William Thornicraft to look after the matter of the estate for them.
For we do conclude them to be men knowing as to our
father's affairs, etc. 1685, Oct. 29. Administration on the estate
having been given to the oldest son, William Hopkins. He wrote to the authorities at
Oyster Bay, that with consent of
younger brother, Thomas, he desired the estate movable of his father divided as follows:
To our sister Elizabeth Kirby, wife of Richard Kirby- 1os, and each of her children
by him-5s, and all the rest of estate not before disposed of to the children Anne and
Icabod of our said sister Elizabeth which she had before she married Richard Kirby

Caleb Stanley was a trader in parntership with his brother George
Stanley. After residing in Charleston, South Carolina, for several
years, his wife being in poor health, they sailed from that city for New
York, 23 Nov 1812. A gale commenced on the 28th and the vessel was
wrecked about 130 miles from New York. They were rescued and arrived in
Great Barrington, 20 Dec 1812, but the hardships and fatigue were too

I am trying to confirm information on JOHN HOPKINS Sr. born Aug 25, 1748
in
Harwich, Barnstable, Mass. He married HANNAH CLARK on Dec 19, 1771 in the
same place. By 1781 they were living in Ashfield, Franklin, Mass. They
had 10 children, one of which was JOHN Jr. born abt 1774 who married PHEBE
DUNWELL in 1802, Brattleboro, Vt. They may have had a son
DAVID as shown
below. If you can confirm or have links to this family line, I’d like to
hear from you.
DAVID HOPKINS (1804-1877) married PRISCILLA BLAKE (1807-1890), at
Derby/Salem, Vermont on Feb 25, 1827. The following children were all born
in the USA, except for Maximilian and Hannah, who were born in Quebec,
Canada. David moved to Martinville, Quebec about 1861. His obituary noted
that he was a “native of Rhode Island”

HOPKINS, Samuel, author, b. in Hadley, Mass., 11 April, 1807; d. in
Northampton, Mass., 10 Feb., 1887. His great-grandfather, the Rev. Samuel,
of West Springfield, Mass., who was married to a sister of Jonathan Edwards,
published "Historical Memoirs Relating to the Housatunnuk Indians" (1753).
He was graduated at Dartmouth in 1827, studied theology in the Andover
seminary, was ordained at Montpelier, Vt., on 26 Oct, 1831, was pastor
there four years, and afterward seven at Saco, Me., and after 1844 preached
for several years as stated supply at Standish, Me. He published "Lessons
at the Cross," under the penname of "Samuel Hartley" (Boston, 1853); and
the
same year a second edition under his own name. He was also the author of
"The Youth of the Old Dominion," based on colonial annals (1856); and "The
Puritans and Queen Elizabeth" (1860), which passed through several editions.
He wrote an essay on the signification of certain Hebrew words, which Prof.
Edwards A. Park began to publish in the "Bibliotheca Sacra"; but after two
installments had appeared the publication was discontinued on account of the
conclusions that were suggested by his researchers.

I have a William Lewis that was an early settler in Farmingham,
Hartford Co., CT. He married a Mary Hopkins and had a daughter named Felix ?? b,
1650's who married Thomas Selden, II. Felix died in Hampden Co., CT,
so there are two counties for you to begin with. :) This isn't a
prominent family line for me, so my details are sketchy and not documented, just
bits of information I've picked up here and there..
There is a bit about the Deerfield Massacre of 1703. Its sounds very
tragic. I don't know if Deerfield MA is close to CT. I 'm not a
geography buff and I know boundaries were changing frequently. Seems to me that
they were fairly close geographically. I don't know if this will help at all
but its interesting history anyway.

a half-sister of Ephraim Williams, the founder of Williams college. He was
graduated at Williams in 1824, with the valedictory, was a tutor in that
college in 1825-'7, studied medicine at the same time, and was graduated at
the Berkshire medical school in 1829. He began practice in New York city,
but in 1830 was called to the chair of moral philosophy and rhetoric at
Williams. He was licensed to preach in 1832. In 1836 he succeeded Dr.
Edward D. Griffin as president of the college, which post he held until
1872, when he resigned, through retaining the chair of moral and
intellectual philosophy, which was established for him in 1836, and that of
Christian theology, which he assumed in 1858. The pastorate of the college
church, on which he entered in 1836, he retained till 1883. He became
president of the American board of commissioners for foreign missions in
1857. He received the degree of D. D. from Dartmouth in 1837, and Harvard
in 1841, and that of LL.D. from the University of the state of New York in
1857, and from Harvard at its 250th anniversary in 1886. President Hopkins
had a large influence for good and was much beloved by his pupils, many of
whom became eminent men, among them James A. Garfield. He was one of the
most acute students of moral science that this country has produced since
Jonathan Edwards. The last and fullest expression of his philosophical
system is found in the works entitled "The Law of Love and Love as a Law:
and "An Outline Study of Man" both extensively used as college text-books,
and the latter illustrating his methods in the classroom. Williams college
grew through his efforts to a famous and powerful institution of learning.
Of more than 1,760 graduates living at the time of his death he had taught
all but thirty. His first literary essay was an article on "Mystery" which
appeared in the "American Journal of Science and Arts" in 1828, and
attracted wide attention. He delivered a course of Lowell lectures which
were published under the title of "Lectures on the Evidences of
Christianity: (Boston, 1846; new ed., 1864). These lectures are used as a
text-book in many colleges. His subsequent publications are "Miscellaneous
Essays and Discourses" (1847); "Lectures on Moral Science" (1862),
originally delivered before the Lowell institute; "Baccalaureate Sermons and
Occasional Discourses" (1863); "The Law of Love, and Love as a Law; or
Christian Ethics" (1869); "An Outline Study of Man" (New York, 1873);
"Strength and Beauty" (1874), which was reissued in a revised form under the
title "Teachings and Counsels" (!884); and "Scriptural Idea of
Man"(1883).
His published annual baccalaureate sermons were widely read. "The Law of
Love," in which his theories of morals were presented, was reviewed by Dr.
James McCosh, and a controversy between the two philosophers resulted.
His brother, Albert, astronomer, b. in Stockbridge, Mass., 14 July, 1807; d.
in Williamstown, Mass., 24 May, 1872. He entered Williams in the junior
year and was graduated in 1826, subsequently devoting a year to the study of
agriculture and engineering. In 1827 he was elected tutor, and in 1829
professor of mathematics and natural philosophy in Williams, and went to
Europe in 1834 for the purpose of selecting philosophical and chemical
apparatus for the college. In 1835 he began on his own responsibility the
building of an astronomical observatory in Williamstown, the first that was
ever established in connection with an American college. This building,
though equipped with a telescope and other instruments of but moderate
power, under Prof. Hopkins's management, made many discoveries which aided
in establishing a high reputation for American scientists. In 1869 David
Dudley Field endowed a memorial professorship of astronomy in Williams with
$25,000, stipulating that the proceeds should be secured to Prof. Hopkins
during his life. From 1835 till 1840 he also gave instruction in the French
language. He was licensed to preach by the Berkshire Congregational
association in 1837, and for many years was stated supply to churches in
Williamstown and South Williamstown and much of the time was acting college
pastor. In 1846 he built, largely from his own means, a chapel at White
Oaks, a previously neglected district of the town, where he performed
missionary work, and in 1868 organized a church there. Prof. Hopkins was a
skillful botanist, and was the first to organize scientific expeditions from
colleges, founding in this connection a natural history society and an
Alpine club at Williams. He received the degree of LL.D. from Jefferson
college in 1859, and was elected corresponding fellow of the Royal society
of Great Britain, to whose transactions he was an occasional contributor of
papers on astronomical and philosophical subjects.
Albert's wife, Louisa Payson, b. in Portland, Me., 24 Feb., 1812; d. 24
Jan., 1862, was the daughter of Rev. Edward Payson, and married Prof.
Hopkins in 1842. She contributed articles to Kitto's "Biblical
Cyclopaedia," "The New York Review," and other periodicals, and composed
several question-books for the Massachusetts Sunday-school union. Mrs.
Hopkins also wrote numerous works for children which have been admired for
their excellent method of illustrating the Bible and its doctrines. They
include "The Pastor's Daughter, or The Way of Salvation Explained" (New
York, new ed., 1863); "Lessons on the Book of Proverbs," "The Young
Christian Encouraged," "Henry Langdon, or What was I made for?" (1846);
"The
Guiding Star, or The Bible God's Message," a sequel to "Henry Langdon"
(Boston, 1851); "The Silent Comforter; a Companion for the Sick-Room" (1874)
and "Payson's Select Thoughts."

My family is from the Cape, we are pretty sure that
we are in a direct line with Stephen although we have thus far been unable
to prove it. The tree is as follows
Dorothy Adele Tuttle born in 1920 to:
Robert V. Tuttle b. 1884 d. 1964 m Bessie Hopkins b. 1884 d. Jan 1st 1926:
her parents were Wilbur Hopkins b. 1850? m. Anna Williams of Taunton.
Wilbur and Anna also had three other children, Charles, Harold, and ( at
the moment the third son's name escapes me)
We believe that Wiburs parents were George Hopkins and Mary A Freeman of
Brewster. They had eleven children, George W. Mary A. Charles, Annette,
Walter, Jerome, Wilbur, Bessie, Gertrude, Susie, Hattie, and one whom died
in infancy.(Freeman Geneology) Does this line look familiar to anyone, did
one of these people perhaps move to the south and continue their family
down there? We have searched many of the periodicles, and the books that
are available at our local libraries, it seems as though George just
appeared out of thin air. The town hall with all of the birth information
burned down several years ago, so we have not been able to research vital
records.
Thanks for your help, Happy New Year
