I'm not sure if you will get this since I have never replied to anyone before. I really do not know much about my husband's family. I know his grandfather's name was Robert Hopson ... married to Mina Hopson and they were in Wolf City, TX on the 1910 Census. The children were Ray, Delbert, Edna Earl, Daryl, Ruby, Jimmy Fay, and Benjamin Troy ... not in that order. I have been searching ARK for my Gilliam line and have seen Hopson mentioned. I will write your email address down and let you know if I find anything that sounds like a connection to your information. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Miller" <hlm@qtm.net> To: <TNSMITH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 6:34 PM Subject: Re: [TNSMITH] Book Recommendation > I notice your Hopson name - your husbands?
