I have a Sussex Co, DE land deed dated 20 Dec. 1745 in which the above three ("all of Albany Co, NY" per language in the deed) sell the land (purchased by their Father John, of Sussex Co DE) to Archibald Hopkins, also of Sussex Co, DE. Of the options, the best one (it seems to me) is that the above three were adult children who stayed behind in Albany Co, NY when their Father (John) emigrated to Sussex Co DE. Their Father John Hopkins, purchased the Sussex Co land on 9 Aug 1739. There is a (long reach ?) possibility that at least 3 brothers (John, see above; Archibald & Samuel)my have emigrated together or nearly simultaneously, from Albany Co NY to Sussex Co DE. Thanks for your interest. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
