Joseph William and Hadassah Hopkins’ Family

Will, Haddasah & children

Joseph William Hopkins was the second son of Barclay Brown Hopkins and Mary Ann Dailey. Although his first name was Joseph, he was called Will from an early age. Like his other brothers and sisters, he was involved early on with oil field work. He worked in the fields near Nowata, Oklahoma; Eldorado, Kansas; and in Lee County, Kentucky. For more about the family's involvement with oil field work, see oilfield.htm and the following pages.

Much of this information comes from a newly-discovered cousin, James Charles Hopkins, who contacted me after finding my Web pages. He and I have been sharing information about our branches of the family, including family photographs and vital statistics documents.
