Do you have anything on the children of Joseph HOPPER/AnnaGREEN. One of my CLINE line m.a Joeseph HOPPER in KS. Howard Fitzpatrick

There in lies the problem. By the time of the 1850 Census Joseph is 72. There's an E. J. Hopper (female) listed in his household age 25. Eliza J. Hopper married Theodore Shafer in Monroe on 5 Feb. 1863. On the 1870 Census for Randolph we find Theodore Shafer and Eliza J. (age 59) along with Anna Hopper, age 78, born in Ky. On the 1880 Census for Boone we find Theodore and Eliza J. along with an Elizabeth Allen listed as a sister in law. Supposedly Elizabeth Hopper married a Temple Allen in Howard on 1 Feb 1847 but there seems to be some confusion about that. Right next to Theodore Shafer in the 1880 census is Judson M. Brashear and his wife Darcus Ann. Judson Brashear married Darcus Ann 'Annie' Hopper in Howard on 10 Nov. 1836. Sarah Margaret Brashear, daughter of Judson and Darcus, married my great great grandfather James T. Shafer. I think Theodore may be the father of James T. by an earlier wife. Anna Hopper is buried in Macedonia Christian Church Cemetery in Audrain. The tombstone gives her date of death as 11 Nov 1874. I think she was living with one of her grandsons, Asa Bartee, who is buried in the same cemetery. "William Bartee was born in the Garrard Co., Kentucky on August 28, 1822. He came to Missouri and settled in Howard County. He was married July 13, 1848 to Miss Fannie Hopper, of Howard County . She is still living. Nine children was the results of this union---seven living --six boys and one girl. He is now the owner of a large farm in Audrain county on which he lives. He and his wife have been married Fifty one years and last year they celebrated the fiftieth Anniversary of their marriage. He gets his mail at Clark, MO, USA" Other possible children might include Martin G. Hopper who married Nancy Stafford, William J. Hopper who married Sarah Woods, Joseph Thomas Hopper who married Elvira Moberly, and a Sarah Hopper. William J. and Sarah are in Joseph Hopper's household in 1850. There are probably other children I am unaware of. It should be pointed out that there were Hoppers in Boone early on as well. James and John I believe, who may well be brothers of Joseph. Joseph Hopper disappears after the 1850 Census. Judson Brashear had moved from Howard to Monroe by 1860 settling near Middle Grove. My James T. Shafer moved from Monroe to near Renick just after the 1870 Census. I don't know why but both James T. Shafer and his wife Sarah Margaret, as well as several other family members, are buried at Mount Pisgah Cemetery in Audrain. There's no evidence that they had any ties there. My father was born in Renick in 1914. Richard Johnson
