Rockingham Listers: There are two sources which relate and confirm (substantially) the above subject line. 1. A book (on Heritage Quest, & probably elsewhere) "A Chapter of Hopkins Genealogy 1735-1905" written by Ellen W. Harrison and published 1905 in Chicago. The author of page 17 in the book was Dr. Archibald Hopkins of Harrisonburg who was the grandson of the Archibald in the above subject line, the emigrant to Rockingham Co. Pages 17-18, which mention the Albany departure point do not name the Parents of John, William & Archibald Hopkins but I have another document, see #2 next, which does name the Father (John Hopkins, of Sussex Co, DE). Pages 17-18, in the book sound like the information is based on an anecdotal/family tradition (as opposed to #2 below which is a primary source) but appears to be on-target when combined with #2 below. 2. In Sussex Co, DE Deed Book H No. 8, pages 116 & 117 dated 20 Dec 1745 is the following: language: "From William Hopkins, Archbald Hopkins, Robert Lawtridge (Lottridge) and Elizabeth (Hopkins), his wife all of Albany Co., New York ...... conveyed the 185 acres to John Hopkins, dec'd late of Sussex Co. and father of the above William Hopkins, Archbald Hopkins, and Elizabeth Lawtridge". At this point I do not know why the John Hopkins who emigrated to Rockingham Co. c1755 wasn't named in the land deed documenting the transaction in #2. Interested in exchanging with a Hopkins researcher who is conversant with any part of the above. I have not before seen the above two items inter related on the internet, or anywhere for that matter.
