Generation: 1

  1. 1.  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. Catherine "Caty" Hopkins was born 21 Sep 1805, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; died 10 Oct 1884; was buried , Pine Grove Cemetery, Coventry, RI.

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  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. 3.  Phebe Case

    Notes:

    Phebe was probably Samuel's second wife.

  1. 4.  Samuel Hopkins was born 6 Jan 1703/04, Kingstowne, RI (son of Joseph Hopkins and Martha Whaley); died Abt Apr 1790, West Greenwich, RI.

    Notes:

    Samuel was "of Kingstowne and East Greenwich."

    The will of Samuel Hopkins, yeoman of West Greenwich, mentions his deceased father, Joseph Hopkins; sons Alexander, Samuel, Joseph, Beriah, & Ebenezer; and daughters Honour (Tillinghast), Sarah (Albro), & Lydia (Matteson).

    Samuel married Honour Brown Abt 23 Apr 1729, North Kingstown, RI. Honour (daughter of Alexander Brown and Honor Huling) was born Abt 16 Apr 1711; died Bef Apr 1790. [Group Sheet]

  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.
