  1. 1.  Catherine "Caty" Hopkins was born 21 Sep 1805, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI (daughter of Jonathan Hopkins and Diadama Unknown); died 10 Oct 1884; was buried , Pine Grove Cemetery, Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    Is she the Catherine Wightman, age 53, in the 1860 census living at West Greenwich with Layton Hopkins? Probably.

    She is probably the daughter mentioned as Catherine Whitman in the will of Jonathan Hopkins of West Greenwich dated 18 Sep 1848. This will also mentions land sold to Layton Hopkins. Thus, I have made an assumption that Jonathan is her father.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, she appears to be Catharine Whitman age 45, living in Warwick, RI, with some of her children and her married daughter and son-in-law. Her son Henry and husband Thomas are in West Greenwich.

    In the Federal Census of 1880, she is probably the Catherine Aylesworth, age 74, living with her son George W. Whitman and family in West Greenwich, RI.

    Catherine married Thomas Jefferson Whitman 13 Feb 1825. Thomas was born 25 Feb 1804, Coventry, Kent Co., RI; died 30 Mar 1869. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. Catherine M. Whitman was born 6 Feb 1839, RI; died 12 Feb 1871; was buried , Historical Cemetery 28, Hopkins Lot, New London Tpke., West Greenwich, RI.

  1. 2.  Jonathan Hopkins was born 28 Aug 1784, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI (son of Samuel Hopkins, Jr. and Phebe Case); died Between Sep and Nov 1848, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI.

    Jonathan married Diadama Unknown Abt 1802. Diadama was born Abt 1784; died 22 Apr 1839; was buried , Historical Cemetery 68, Austin-Hopkins Lot, New London Tpke., West Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Children:

  1. 4.  Samuel Hopkins, Jr. was born Abt 1734 (son of Samuel Hopkins and Honour Brown); died Between Jun and Sep 1813; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Washington & Knotty Oak Sts., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    This marriage to Phebe Case is probably a second marriage for Samuel, since his son Rufus was born c 1773 (RI Cemetery Database). Samuel's will dated 8 June 1813 WG, proved 27 Sep 1813, mentions his wife Phebe; sons Rufus, Amon, Jonathan, James, & Daniel: daughters Ruth Whitman, Ase Mires, Martha Potter, Sarah Kinyon, & Tabitha Case.

    I have very roughly estimated the birth years of Samuel's children mentioned in his will, specifically those by his first wife.

    Samuel married Phebe Case 13 May 1779, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Phebe Case

    Notes:

    Phebe was probably Samuel's second wife.
