      James C. Hopkins married Abigail "Nabby" Chase in 1822. Her first husband was James' brother John Hopkins b. 1770. She married (2) to Obadiah Baker, and after his death, married (3) James C. Hopkins. Her daughter Fanny from her first marriage (and his niece) lived with them and the three were buried near each other.
