My great-grandfather, Dabney Caldwell HOPKINS, was born on Dec. 1, 1849 in Clinton County KY. In August 1874 he m. Mary Catherine (Kate) DAVIS and in October 1874 they moved to Lamar County, TX. Their first child, Orion HOPKINS, was born in Lamar County in 1875. There are deeds which indicate that D.C. and Mary C. HOPKINS may have still been in Lamar County in 1877. In 1880, if not before, Dr. D.C. HOPKINS was practicing medicine in Strawn, Palo Pinto County, TX and his second and third children, daughters Ethel and Lucy, were born there. His fourth child was born in February 1885 in Whitewright, Grayson County, TX, and, one month later, D.C. HOPKINS died in Gordon, Palo Pinto County, TX. Kate and the four children lived for many years afterward in Whitewright. There are many unanswered questions regarding D.C. HOPKINS. If you know ANYTHING about these ancestors of mine, please let me know. Rae Ann
