General Notes: Husband - Maj. Thomas Hopkins


He was a major in the Revolutionary army. Subsequently he removed to Washington County, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the Legislature when it met in Lancaster.

He was a Revolutionary soldier, who enlisted in the Fifth Maryland Regiment in February, 1780, and was discharged November 1, 1780. The records show that he was a resident of Washington County, Pennsylvania, in 1781, in the part that afterward became Pike Run township.


General Notes: Wife - Catherine Hurd


She was brought to America by her father when she was about fifteen years of age, and she was married about a year afterwards without his approval. So great was his disappointment that he did not become reconciled to her until after the birth of her sixth child, William.
She was a woman of strong character, of good education, of great amiability, and of renowned piety. For many years she was an active and zealous member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

She came with her father to America from Londonderry, Ireland.
