I am looking for the parents and wife of John W. HOPKINS. He is in the 1850 Crawford Co. census. Settled in the county about 1818. born in Penn.

My Great grandfather Levi Hopkins was born Steelville 1867. His real father died before his birth and his mother (Rebecca Woolsey) remarried John Hopkins in Steelville and Hopkins raised Levi. Rebeccas name at time of marriage may have been Sierber. Could this be same John Hopkins

I am also trying to find any information on John. Email me and we can compare notes and try to solve this. Karen Donner

Karen,
Are you connected to Arthur Lewis Donner and his wife Mary O'Hara? Mary was born in Sullivan. I am interested in researching the family, as is a relative of mine who descends from Mary's sister, Catherine O'Hara Wolff. Thanks.
