My great grand father is Benjamin F. Hopson, born in Virginia 1852, married Jenny Robinson in Ohio late 1870s and early 1880s in Ohio had my grandfather William Rosenthal Hopson & Florence Hopson. Jenny passed away in early 1900s and Ben married Mary Anderson and had Helena Hopson. Ben passed away around 1911 estimate. Census records show some showed up as mulatoo and black. my grandfather William Rosenthal Hopson married Laura Maynard and had Alberta Hopson & Gerald Hopson. William Rosenthal Hopson became a attorney in Columbus in the early 1920s. Laura passed away early and William Rosenthal Hopson married my grandmother Mellanese Smith, and had my dad William Hopson, Jane Hopson and Annabele Hopson. My dad passed away when I was 5 years old. Annebele is still alive and now living in Canton, but has had a stroke and does not remember her past real good.
In 1870 when Benjamin Hopson he lived n Allegheny County VA. I do not know if he was born a slave or not. I want to know if Benjamin had brothers and sisters and more important is parents.
