Helen, Franklin P. Hopkins, b. West Union, Adams County, Ohio 20 Jan 1853; d Cincinnati, Hamilton Cnty, OH 08 October 1937 was son of William E. Hopkins and his wife, Eliza Brittingham. Eliza Brittingham was b. 20 December 1827 Ohio d. 12 December 1881 in Adams County, bur. at Manchester Cemetery. They were married about 1845 and had Arcada, Sarah A., Franklin P., Margaret, and perhaps Sassie(?). From her birthdate and the fact that Frank Hopkins, age 18, and Sassie(?) Hopkins, age 6, appear in the 1880 Ohio census in the household of Joseph Brittingham, age 55 and his wife Martha and Pernell Brittingham, age 84 is living in the same household, I believe that Eliza Brittingham may have been the daughter of Purnell Brittingham who was b. in MD abt 1785 and his 3rd wife, Mary (Cartwright) Bryan. He is shown with 2 daughters the right age in the 1830 and 1840 census. I have seen some of the Family Treemaker User Home Pages but I do not know any evidence which connects Purnell to the Worcester County MD Brittinghams or to Roland Brittingham. My HOPKINS line may also lead back to Worcester County MD and may also connect to the HOPKINS families in Brown County, OH or Bourbon County, KY. Also looking for GUTHRIDGE in Adams County.
