On behalf of Hildegard Hopkins, I am searching for information on SARAH
ENTRIKEN and her husband SAMUEL Hopkins married in West Chester, PA 15
December 1802. Samuel said to be the father of Joseph Hopkins of West
Chester PA and Jefferson City, MO. Samuel & Sarah found in the
Marietta, Lancaster Co PA censuses. Samuel born c.1776 died in 1871, Sarah died
1869. There is an abstract 1811 will for a Samuel Entriken in East
Bradford, but no mention of a daughter. There was an Ezekiel Hopkins s/o
William mentioned in his 1768 will. The 1800 census shows some Hopkins in
Oxford & East Bradford. Would be interested to learn the parentage and
siblings of Samuel & Sarah (Entriken) Hopkins. Am trying to confirm if
the above Joseph (wife Frances) is a son of Samuel & Sarah and then, if
so, go further back from there. Don't think there's been any work done
on the supposed Entriken connection, except by one Hopkins researcher,
but the censuses do show Samuel & Sarah together. Joseph, if he is a
son of Samuel and Sarah, married and in Indiana by 1850 with a wife
and children.
