  1. 8.  Joseph Hopkins was born Abt 1670 (son of Thomas Hopkins and Sarah Unknown); died 15 May 1735, East Greenwich, RI.

    Notes:

    Joseph's will, dated 1735, mentions his wife Martha; 6 sons -- Joseph (Jr.), William, Samuel (b. 6 Jan 1704, d. 1790), John, Robert, & Thomas; and 3 daughters -- Phebe (Pitcher), Hannah, & Martha.

    He may have married first to a Phebe Unknown.

    I have estimated the birth years of some of Joseph's children.

    Interestingly, there was another Joseph Hopkins whose will was proved/probated 1 Sept. 1740 at Scituate, RI. He also mentions a wife Martha.

    An online genealogy has his parents as William & Hannah (Andrews) Hopkins of Roxbury, MA. However, the RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 15, p. 303, identifies his parents as Thomas & Sarah. (needs more research)

    Joseph married Martha Whaley Abt 1702. Martha (daughter of Theophilus Whaley and Elizabeth Mills) was born 1680; died 1773. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Martha Whaley was born 1680 (daughter of Theophilus Whaley and Elizabeth Mills); died 1773.

    Notes:

    Martha may have been Joseph's second wife.

    Martha married second to Robert Spencer (b. 6 Nov 1774, d.c. July 1848), s/o John & Susannah, as his third wife. Robert's first wife had been Theodosia, most likely Martha's sister.
