Hello Gibson County Listers,
Still searching for the unknown HOPKINS who was the first husband of my
great, grandmother, Lydia Elizabeth SPENCER. Lydia was the daughter of John
D. SPENCER and Frances E. PARR, and was born October 10, 1851 in Gibson
County, Indiana. It was probably about 1870 that she married Mr. HOPKINS
because their son, James Edgar HOPKINS, was born January 22, 1871. There
was also another child, Marley HOPKINS who died at the age of one year.
Lydia Elizabeth HOPKINS married my great, grandfather Barnett MORRISON
February 18, 1877 in Gibson County. This was his third marriage. He
married (1) Isaphena LATHOM, and (2) Ann E. LONG. I am searching for any
information about Ann E. LONG as well. I believe that she had a brother
Thomas who was born in 1858 as he was living with Lydia and Barnett MORRISON
at the time of the 1880 Census in Center Township, Gibson County. James
Edgar HOPKINS was in the household also.
If any of this is familiar with anyone, I would appreciate hearing from you.
I will be glad to share any of the details and information which I do have.
Thanks to all,
Carlene
