  1. 1.  John Hopkins was born Abt 1710; died Abt Dec 1791, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI.

    Notes:

    The will of John Hopkins of West Greenwich, yeoman, is dated 25 Aug 1790, proved the last Monday of Dec 1791. It mentions wife Mary; sons Jonathan & George; dtrs Susannah Burlingame, Rhoba Whitford, and Wait Case.

    He could be s/o Joseph & Martha Hopkins who was born in EG 2 Apr 1712; but I am not sure.

    He also could be this individual: Hopkins John, and Mercy Greene; m. by Thomas Spencer, Justice, Oct. 9, 1732; East Greenwich marriage. The name Mercy is sometimes interchangeable with Mary in the old records.

    There is quite an age difference between Oliver and his wife Jane; I wonder if it was a second marriage? I have made an assumption that the marriage of Oliver Hopkins of Jamestown to Mary Brown is a first marriage for this Oliver who married Jane Battey.
