Your ad in "Gateway" is interesting and most surprising. I did not know Rebecca's Maiden name and had assumed she was from one of the old Dutch families of NY or NJ to Penn. As far as I know I am not interested in the Hopkins family, but the Kirkendall family, their children married. Where it may or may not be the correct line I want, I don't know--I'm having to prove my line by elimination.

A substantial farmer and stock raiser of Madison township, Fayette county, Ohio, is John E. Hopkins, who was born June 25, 1862, near Linden, Ross county, Ohio. He was the son of Levi and Rachel (Kintz) Hopkins, natives of Ross county, Ohio. Levi Hopkins was the son of Matthew and ___ (Harper) Hopkins, natives of Pennsylvania and early settlers of Ross county. Levi Hopkins came to Fayette county and settled one mile east of Madison Mills, where he and his wife reared a family of five children, Selah, Ella, John E., J. W. and H. L.
