Jane Mc Donnell, Jim Moore & List......While I cannot add to your material, I have a genealogical brick wall with almost the same specifications: 1723 Sussex Co, DE; possibly Scots Irish; Presbyterians (Cool Spring Church); Broadkill 100 (around Milton); etc. I read both of your e-mails in this (so far) short string with great interest. I have found a Sussex 1723 land deed involving Archibald Hopkins (purchaser) of Sussex and a niece of Sheriff Cantwell (seller,New Castle Co, DE) for land in Sussex, recorded in Sussex. No record in New Castle and NO earlier documents in Sussex, so the current facts seem to show that Archibald Hopkins arrived in Sussex c1723. With the detail contained in Jim Moores' and Jane McDonnells' e=mails one aspect of the brick wall is deciding where (which county, state) to try and find Archibald Hopkins before c1723??? If you had these facts, how would you use them to proceed?

Sussex also seems to have had a fluid border with Kent Co. especially with a major town straddling the county line (Milford north and south). I have family (Hazzard) in the Bridgeville and Seaford area, and Burtons in Broadkill/ln Hundred who didn't know the county or the state they lived in during their lives.

Jim, Since you asked about a specific date, I would say Sussex County, Delaware was not reliably used in records until 1775.

My question concerns the first line of the following property citation: 20 Nov 1723 Somerset Co deed book 1721-1725 TH p81 William Layton, of Sussex County in the Province of Pennsylvania nominates and constitutes Benjamin Cottman of Somerset County to be his attorney and to act in his stead and to acknowledge and make over to John Leatherbury a tract of land called *Discovery *cont. 300 acres formerly surveyed and taken up by his grandfather William Layton. · Witnesses: David Smith, James Passwater (mark), Thomas Layton (mark) Every reference to William Layton of this era is found in *Dorchester Co*land and probate records. The family settled just to the NW of Bridgeville, an area considered part of Dor Co until the Mason-Dixon line was drawn. It has been my understanding that Sussex Co -- in this time period -- was considered to lie east of the NE Fork of the Nanticoke. So why is William placed "in Sussex County in the province of Pennsylvania" in this Som Co citation? Mike Hitch/John Lyon: Has your mapping of lands to the east of the NE Fork turned up a reference to a William Layton? I seek help. *"Bueller? Bueller? Anyone"* Jim Moore Still Wondering in Wilmington

I have Edward Cannon and his wife Ann LNU as the father of Stephen Cannon and James Cannon, known as Nanticoke James. I then have John Cannon, 1590 - 1642, and Marriot Garrett, 1594 - 1645, as parents of Edward Cannon. In turn that John Cannon was the son of John Cannon, 1564 - ?. Both John Cannons were reportedly initially from the Isle of Man. Regarding the Hopkins family, to add to what I emailed before, the Hopkins who married into the Cannons all came from the Chesapeake oriented Hopkins. I was unaware of the Atlantic Hopkins and so it was nice to learn about Samuel Hopkins. I have the Robert Hopkins born on 1671 as being the son of Robert Hopkins, 1630 - 1708, and Sarah Mezick, 1630 - allegedly 1729, but I have major doubts she lived to be 99. Certain trees on ancestry.com, for what it's worth, have Abraham Hopkins and Ann Avery as being the older Robert's parents. I have some doubts about that lineage since the name Abraham isn't again found in this line, which is contrary to the naming patterns that prevailed in families at that time. That doesn't mean it couldn't be true but further research will need to be done. That Abraham Hopkins could be part of one of the other two lines. Thanks all for these threads on my Cannon and Hopkins ancestors. Cheers.

This is good information and you likely will find a death certificate for someone who died in 1920, but for those looking for death certificates in Somerset, Worcester and Wicomico Counties, I have found that people are not filing them on a regular basis until around 1912.  As usual, we on the lower Shore are a bit slow getting with the program.  My memory isn't what it used to be, so I cannot tell you what year it was that the state started requiring funeral directors to file the death certificates, as they still do.  It wasn't until it was their responsibility that it started being done, just as with birth certificates when the state required doctors to file and much earlier when marriage licenses were required to be filed by the minister.  Then, as now, there was a fee to the state for filing, so I rather imagine that people avoided the fee. Although I went to MSA and looked at all the death certificates (page by page) for 1913, I never did find my paternal greatgrandfather's.  I have a tombstone and an obituary, but no death certificate.  This was a time in Somerset County when there were no funeral homes/directors.  All was done by the family, the body laid out in the front parlor and I'm sure they didn't want to travel 8 miles to Princess Anne for any filing, plus pay money for it.   On Friday, October 25, 2013 3:22 PM, Anne Harris <anneharris8@gmail.com> wrote: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- >From: MSA Helpdesk -MSA- <msa.helpdesk@maryland.gov> >Date: Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 5:10 PM >Subject: Re: Death Certificate information > > >In my own ongoing attempts to find out what and where family information >might be available, I received the following note about death certificates >from from MSA.  I thought that others might be interested. > >Thank you for your inquiry regarding the information on death certificates >that were issued in Maryland. > >In 1874, Baltimore City's Mayor and City Council passed an ordinance >for the registration of deaths in the city.  The ordinance required >that the Commissioner of Health record the "full name of the deceased, >color, sex, age, married or single, occupation, birthplace, date of >death, cause of death, when a minor, the name of the father and >mother, ward, street and number of house, date of burial, date of >certificate, date of registration" (No. 86, Ordinances of 1874).  The >early certificates also include the names of the attending physician >and the informant, as well as date and place of burial.  In 1903, the >city revised the form to include the date of birth and the place of >residence of the deceased.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: MSA Helpdesk -MSA- <msa.helpdesk@maryland.gov> Date: Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 5:10 PM Subject: Re: Death Certificate information In my own ongoing attempts to find out what and where family information might be available, I received the following note about death certificates from from MSA. I thought that others might be interested. Thank you for your inquiry regarding the information on death certificates that were issued in Maryland. In 1874, Baltimore City's Mayor and City Council passed an ordinance for the registration of deaths in the city. The ordinance required that the Commissioner of Health record the "full name of the deceased, color, sex, age, married or single, occupation, birthplace, date of death, cause of death, when a minor, the name of the father and mother, ward, street and number of house, date of burial, date of certificate, date of registration" (No. 86, Ordinances of 1874). The early certificates also include the names of the attending physician and the informant, as well as date and place of burial. In 1903, the city revised the form to include the date of birth and the place of residence of the deceased. In 1919, the form was again revised to include the name of the deceased's spouse. In 1898, the General Assembly passed a law regarding the registration of deaths in the 23 counties. The 1898 law also dictated that "the record of a death shall state the date and place of its occurrence, name, age, sex, color, condition, birth place, cause of death, duration of illness; the names, residence and color of parents, and the name and address of the attending physician." By 1911, the death records also included occupation, birth date, place of burial, and the name of the informant. In 1931 the Bureau of Vital Statistics added the residence of the deceased and the name of the spouse, if any. However, some lines are not always filled in due to the knowledge of the informant at the time. Thank you for your interest in the Maryland State Archives.

  Stephen Cannon's parents are supposed to be Edward and Ann.  The original research was done in the 1930's and published in Dashiell Family Records.  There was an Edward Cannon and Ann his wife who were two of eight headrights for Edward Hall in New Norfolk County, Virginia on 18 September 1646 according to Nugent's Cavaliers and Pioneers.  In 1652 Edward Cannon and Thomas Allen patented 520 acres Lower Norfolk in Linnhaven Parish on a branch of Mr. Woodhouse's Dam. Edward and Ann had a daughter, Ann who married James Dashiell (d. 1697). I had tried to follow up on the Edward and Ann Cannon connection some 25 years or so ago by trying to see the research notes for Dashiell Family Records, which are at the Maryland Historical Society.  Although MHS had, at that time, held the records for thirty-odd years, they had never been processed and were in cartons in the basement, inaccessible to the public.  I have no idea if the status has changed.

Joe, You stated you did have the maiden name of lst wife. Do you have a given name? p117 Wright's Vital Records states Mary was John's 3rd wife; Sophia was wife at probate so there were 4. Based on date of John's marriages and the marriages of 2 daus, the 3 daus named in the will must have been of the 1st wife (unless they are not named from oldest to youngest. ) Marjorie "Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars."~ Henry Van Dyke On Fri, Oct 25, 2013 at 1:28 AM, Joseph Lake <joslake@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > Marjorie....

Did you find much for the line of Samuel Hopkins that had a grand daughter Mary and grandson Samuel that were children of Andries and Temperance Hopkins Derickson. They were to receive Babel (Mary) and Vines Neck (Samuel) according to a will abstract 1703-04 probated in 1711-12. Derrickson is part of my line. Joan In a message dated 10/25/2013 8:03:02 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, mccuin@me.com writes: My John Hopkins was born on Smith Island to Robert Hopkins and Jane Cannon. Robert was born in Virginia c.1671 to Richard and Sarah (LNU) Hopkins. They moved into Maryland in 1673. The rest of Robert's siblings -- George, Sarah, Alice, Charles, and John -- were born in Somerset. Best, --McC.

My John Hopkins was born on Smith Island to Robert Hopkins and Jane Cannon. Robert was born in Virginia c.1671 to Richard and Sarah (LNU) Hopkins. They moved into Maryland in 1673. The rest of Robert's siblings -- George, Sarah, Alice, Charles, and John -- were born in Somerset. Best, --McC.

Marjorie.... You are correct. I do have the John Hopkins will probated 1789, & Archibald was his Father as you point out. This John Hopkins had 9 sons, 3 Daughters and 3 or 4 wives. I have gone through the official records of Cool Spring Presbyterian Church, which church existed during all of the adult life of John Hopkins and have found baptismal records on less than half of his offspring (thus no info on the Mothers of less than half of the children and no record of the Mother of any Daughter). Very disappointing. There is a vague & brief reference I have seen which seems to hint that there may have been a 4th wife, but I've found no other reference to a 4th wife. Sorry, but I have not found a record on the first marriage or her maiden name. Thanks for writing.

Not questioning his comment at all, but to add that there were at least 3 distinct Hopkins lines on the lower DelMarVa Peninsula in the early days. They're most evident, early (around c1700) in Somerset, MD........the descs. of Samuel & Hannah Hopkins on the Atlantic side of the Somerset Co. and Robert Hopkins & descs. on the Chesapeake side. A probable third group, which is my interest show up after c1700 and lived around the center of Sussex, DE; many were mem bers of Cool Springs Presbyterian Church. I've been unable to specifically trace them back further than c1720, and I have found (but not researched in full detail) a connection between any of those three and the Hopkins in Kent County. I noted that Tom McCuin wrote that the John Hopkins which he referenced was born in Somerset in 1706, and I like to know Johns' parents (if Tom has that detail). My only point is, and it's common in many/most surnames, there were a considerable number of Hopkins in the area, and at least several lines. I would welcome any Hopkins info around the 1700-1720 period on the peninsula and especially in Delaware. Best! Joe Lake on 10/24 Roger Brown wrote: I am a Cannon descendent through two lines. With regard to the inquiries the about Richard Cannons, I have two in my tree as collateral relations. One is Richard Cannon who was the son of James Cannon, 1745 - 1791, and Priscilla Clarkson, 1750 - ?. The Richard Cannon would be the right age to be born in 1775. The other Richard Cannon would be the son of Josiah Cannon, 1779 - 1845, and Elizabeth Brown, 1798 - 1866, and obviously could not have been born in 1775. There was also some info on Jane Cannon, who married John Hopkins, in the most recent post. Jane had a sister Mary Cannon who married Charles Hopkins 1685, MD - 1770, MD. So it seems there were strong connections btw the Cannons and the Hopkins. A tidbit on Stephen Cannon: *allegedly*, he was a servant to a John Pate of Gloucester County, VA. He ran away and changed his name to *Thomas Davis*. In early Somerset County records, he is known as "Thomas Davis, Carpenter". It was as Thomas Davis that he married Judith Bloyce, and his children were surnamed Davis until 1674, when he publicly declared his true name. Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Joe, No doubt you have John Hopkins Sussex DE, will made 25 FEB 1787 probate 3 MAR 1789. He was son of Archibald Broadkiln Hd. per 1761 deed where he and sisters Margaret and Elizabeth sell inherited tract [Mary Marshall Brewer, Land Records of Sussex County, Delaware, 1753-1763, p133]. I am not researching Hopkins per se but found Jane/Janet as his dau who m Samuel Hudson and William Wyatt, 2 lines that I have researched. Have you found the first wife of John, Jane's mother?

There was also some info on Jane Cannon, who married John Hopkins, in the most recent post. Jane had a sister Mary Cannon who married Charles Hopkins 1685, MD - 1770, MD. So it seems there were strong connections btw the Cannons and the Hopkins. A tidbit on Stephen Cannon: *allegedly*, he was a servant to a John Pate of Gloucester County, VA. He ran away and changed his name to *Thomas Davis*. In early Somerset County records, he is known as "Thomas Davis, Carpenter". It was as Thomas Davis that he married Judith Bloyce, and his children were surnamed Davis until 1674, when he publicly declared his true name. Hope this is somewhat helpful. I have lots of Cannon info if anyone wants to follow up. On Thu, Oct 24, 2013 at 12:42 PM, Tom McCuin <mccuin@me.com> wrote: > This is the first time I've been able to contribute to this list.

List, & in reference to Roger Browns' comment "strong connection btw the Cannons & the Hopkins". Not questioning his comment at all, but to add that there were at least 3 distinct Hopkins lines on the lower DelMarVa Peninsula in the early days. They're most evident, early (around c1700) in Somerset, MD........the descs. of Samuel & Hannah Hopkins on the Atlantic side of the Somerset Co. and Robert Hopkins & descs. on the Chesapeake side. A probable third group, which is my interest show up after c1700 and lived around the center of Sussex, DE; many were mem bers of Cool Springs Presbyterian Church. I've been unable to specifically trace them back further than c1720, and I have found (but not researched in full detail) a connection between any of those three and the Hopkins in Kent County. I noted that Tom McCuin wrote that the John Hopkins which he referenced was born in Somerset in 1706, and I like to know Johns' parents (if Tom has that detail). My only point is, and it's common in many/most surnames, there were a considerable number of Hopkins in the area, and at least several lines. I would welcome any Hopkins info around the 1700-1720 period on the peninsula and especially in Delaware. Best! Joe Lake on 10/24 Roger Brown wrote: I am a Cannon descendent through two lines. With regard to the inquiries the about Richard Cannons, I have two in my tree as collateral relations. One is Richard Cannon who was the son of James Cannon, 1745 - 1791, and Priscilla Clarkson, 1750 - ?. The Richard Cannon would be the right age to be born in 1775.
